Bad UI in real life
I once wrote about the bad list layout of YouTube’s search filter screen , now I experienced a real-life bad UI in a gym I went for the first time.

In the first moments I was unable to identify the correct yellow lever I need to turn to “enable” my desired weights. The distance between lever and weight label is so far apart that I sometimes either used my finger to not slip to a different row or counting the rows from top. The acute angle, looking from the top, distorts the view even more. I think the weight stack could have been improved by placing the labels on the left of the levers. When the levers are turned off, they are closer to the label.
