The new “ Water Cooler” talk station.
It’s the new picnic/panic bar!
So, this old AHC walks into a bar …
Or was it a “D”AHC?? 🙂

OK. I’m not gonna cast a stone. I’ve done that a time or two as well.
It is no longer a panic bar but a “breakfast bar”
New nomenclature when ordering:
VD-BB-EO(eat only) 26D
It’s a panic bar… it’s an EMERGENCY to set your drink down to take the lid off and let the water cook your noodles for instant noodles (or add sugar to your coffee). It’s a panic situation….right? RIGHT? 😛
In the USA, is there a “code legal” way to eliminate the flat surface to discourage this? Perhaps by mounting a curved metal or plastic trim on top of the panic bar? Or, is the solution here to switch back to the 1960’s style push rod (like Von Duprin’s Series 55 or 88)?
This unsafe behavior is too common in coffee shops (where customers ignore the posted signs) and the hot beverages are likely to be a hazard in an actual egress emergency. Unfortunately, having the landlord replace the entire door is not feasible.
