My near-miss with sexual harassment at work

I had just finished at the urinal in my WeWork.

As I’m washing my hands, I hear a flush from one of the stalls.

This guy comes out and heads to the sink next to me.

Not good.

The issue is the automatic paper towel dispenser: it's placed slightly behind my left shoulder, adjacent to my sink.

If he finishes washing his hands before I do, he’s left with two bad choices.

He could stand there awkwardly and wait.

Or he could reach behind me to activate the dispenser, risking a dangerously close encounter with my ass, even direct contact.

Sensing his dilemma I hurry up and leave, avoiding any chance of an ass-grazing.

Walking back to my office I think about how so many survey questions are like that ill-placed dispenser: functional but badly designed.

Technically, there’s nothing wrong with them.

But “interacting” with them can be awkward.

Lots of things are like that:
 

• Cramped airline seats
• Office chairs with too many levers
• Eating a banana in public
• Those molecule-thin plastic covers on Trader Joe’s meals

 
We all silently dream of a future when everything is as sleek and user-friendly as an iPhone.

However, you don't have to wait around dreaming about better surveys.

You can design one that’s both functional and well-designed.

As seamless as smooth elevator ride.

And as intuitive as a thumb scroll.

All you need to do is book a $45 Survey Roast.

I'll show you how to: 
 

• Think like a designer, not a quant nerd.
• Prioritize ease over accuracy.
• Collect insightful feedback from shoppers.

I’d love to help.
