i hate when people say all engineers are smart
american ones do s*** like this all the time

Technically I'd say the blame lies with the interior designer or architect.

Though not to shift blame from us engineers, we do sometimes do stupid stuff in the name of efficiency. Friend of my was an Airforce mechanic and he regularly complained how the engineers failed to design the work space of the plane to have enough room to work in. It's like, what good does minimizing space do if the mechanic can barely access the space.

Compared to some countries though our design codes can be pretty strict at times almost to the point of being overkill. That or some plan checkers are just arses.
