My new apartment building in Chicago has a trash chute door that opens inward

I dropped a full bag down the chute last week and the door swung back and hit me right in the face. It's a solid metal door, so that was a fun surprise. I'm out twenty bucks for the glasses I was wearing that got bent. Who designs a door on a trash room to swing into the tiny space where you're standing? Anyone else run into this kind of backwards thinking?

Ugh, that's just hostile architecture for regular people.

Hostile" is a strong word for keeping public spaces clean and safe.
