Rant for the day

My rant for the day.

Why do we need high tech equipment in the bathroom? Had to make a pit stop today and they had one of those stupid hand swipe activated electric towel dispensers which of course didn't work, like most of them don't. The auto flush urinal was out of order. Then I remembered that this was the same place where I was once sitting there doing my business and for no reason the auto flush toilet decided to flush. All I could do was sit there and hope it didn't clog and run over. Then a few seconds later it flushed again. I decided to keep track of how many times it would do that, since I really didn't have anything better to do right at the moment. I got tired of counting after 18 flushes. Way to save water, nimrods.

What's wrong with just having a handle, that seemed to work pretty well for a lot of years. And if you can't make towel dispensers work, put a pile of paper towel on the counter.

Ok, rant over.

Or the offices that have double door entrances, but only unlock one side. Of course it is the side that you don't choose first.

How about those energy saving motion detecting bathroom lights? So I'm sitting there doing my business and all the lights go out. Not just dark, midnight dark. It's disorienting sitting there in the total blackness, groping around for toilet paper.

Out of the stall, the motion detector works alright, but not in the stall. Maybe this is to discourage employees from taking more than 20 seconds on the pot.

Because the world is full of germs, remember? But hasn't it always been? I'm still alive and healthy after touching faucet handles and toilet handles that were covered with cooties.And Blackcats right. Ain't nothing worse than crapping in the dark.

I been handling my own business in the bathroom long enough I can manage in the dark - the real problem is when the lights go out, so do the exhaust fans.

On the other hand, idiots destroyed the manual paper towel dispensers at a place I liked to stop at for years, and also people doing weird and illegal things have wrecked a lot of other things, that's why we can't have nice things in this area.

The first one to make a smell /noise toilet sensor will be rich and earn the Nobel Peace Prize.

Gwaddle may have found the only one.

This is to make any one visiting feel foolish before having to deal with anyone inside. Then you are on the defensive for the rest of your visit!

Re: Rant for the day

If you want to do away with auto flush, then they should make the flush handle a foot pedal on the floor, because in a public bathroom, I am using my foot to flush and lift the lid. People are nasty and I do not want to be there in the first place. What is needed are auto sniffers that release deodorizer based on how bad it smells. Not those air sent that smell like perfume because then it just smells like someone crapped on a bouquet of flowers.

Re: Rant for the day

It isnt crapping in the dark that is the problem, it is the clean up afterward ,that can be shall we say, a bit awkward.

You sure you weren't shiting on the bidet, sitting on the faucet?
