Though this isn't a huge design flaw, and most would recognize that the doorway wouldn't actually work for what they needed it for but it could be considered a design flaw because of its mapping within the cafeteria at this time. The original purpose is an exit which it says along the top, but the position of the door states that it is not being used for this purpose.

Exit Through the Wall
When sitting at dinner this past week, I noticed something very odd with the wall right besides my table. Our dining hall at college has temporary walls that can be moved and rearranged to accompany different dining situations that are needed. These walls afford the capability for different designs and larger dining sessions, however when they are moved they can afford some different uses by accident. This specific situation deals with one of the exiting signs found along side of the wall in the cafeteria. This situation could afford a serious health risk if something were to arise in the cafeteria and if individuals used the mental model of an exit sign and went to leave through this specific door.
