At Schiphol airport in the Netherlands are doing something interesting when it comes to the urinals: put them flies. More precisely, not these flies, and their counterparts. The idea is to use "point of active perception", so the one who urinates into a urinal, less splashes around. At the airport we decided that flies - a good way to minimize the amount of spray and keep the floor clean toilets, make people fall into the "active point».

How to teach someone to urinate in a certain place? Maybe there are many answers to this question, but in the Dutch airport decided to control the behavior of visitors to the toilet it with fake flies. Men instinctively tend to wash away a fly. While it is not clear why, but it seems like it works.

"When my friends went to the men's room at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, they saw flies in urinals, and did everything to flush them out, but ... nothing happened. It flies were put on superglue! "- Said one of the visitors toilet.

The reports, which are distributed in the past few years, it is argued that the fly is placed in a "strategic position" in order to dramatically improve the accuracy of users urinals, and thereby significantly reduce urine leakage.



These flies are not only in Schiphol, they are used in many other places, such as in the Changi Airport in Singapore, at Kennedy Airport in New York. And yet these flies stickers are sold on the network at various sites, it can be purchased for use at home and in public toilets. One of these sites, "Dressing the arrows," describes its product as "Dressing fly-label for the men's room! Made of durable vinyl, this round sticker 2 cm in diameter is perfect for keeping public toilets clean and perfect for kids accustom to the toilet ».

Some reports indicate that the idea of ​​"fly in the urinal" first occurred to one employee on behalf of the Dutch Jos Van Bedoff. When Bedoff was a soldier, he once remarked that in the barracks urinals were always red dots that appeared, asked the soldiers, "the optimal target for the shooting." A decade later, the idea suggested Bedoff airport management, but instead of red dots this time were used copies of flies.
