There is something that has been a burr under my hide for years and years now. Many people laugh when I bring this up. It is important because it is so widespread and creates a miasma of hatred and anger for everyone who suffers this particular bugbear. I speak out against bathroom technology. I have been beset by bathrooms, usually in restaurants where everything it wired by sensors except for the doors themselves. I cannot express how angry all this needless automation makes me. Faucets, Soap, and Paper Towels and/or Hot-Air Dryers with airspace disturbance sensors are the most annoying and hateful objects because they are *everywhere*! I don’t need touchless sensor-laden bits! I just need a sink, some detergent, and pull-thru-funnel type paper towel dispenser! I can manage the classic way. I don’t need pre-measured, machine-delivered bouts of supply. I know how much water, soap, and paper I need. When I see these obnoxious devices I am filled with the urge to tear them off the wall and OfficeSpace them to little bits.

Its time to punish businesses with these machines and support those who understand that their customers know how and how much material they need to wash their hands properly. No ‘assistance’ required! Yaaaaar! 🙂
