These problems are not unique to McMansions. I live in a normal size house and opening the dishwasher blocks access to the sink, the two cupboards under the sink and two cupboards above. The lounge is long and due to the door placement there is no sensible layout for the sofa that wouldn't have people sitting a long way from each other (in the end we used the furniture to effectively split the room into two smaller areas which were more sensibly shaped) My previous house had a cupboard too close to a central breakfast bar that meant you couldn't access the cupboard if someone was sitting at the breakfast bar. Bad room layout is everywhere.
