Automatic = Convenient?

So I'm waiting for my car get finished up from having an oil change/tire rotation yesterday.  Figured I would run next door to Dennys to have me some breakfast to kill some time.  Before I got a table though, nature was calling and  required me to answer...in a fast way.  Rushing in to the restroom to use the urinal was quite a relief, and that went all well and good.  It was afterward that the real issue came up -- washing my hands....

OK, so I'm all for the whole "SAVE THE WORLD, BE GREEN" way of life.  I like to do my part and save the planet here and there, but there gets to be a point when it is just plain silly and/or ridiculous.  When someone has to fight with various 'green' devices on a daily basis so that they can try and save the planet....that's just dumb.  Below I have included the list of the earth-saving devices that we find ALL over the place today:

1)  Auto paper towel dispensers

These pieces of .... crap? ... give you hardly enough paper to wipe BBQ sauce off of your face if you're eating chicken wings.  I mean, seriously?  Who the hell can actually dry their hands with this little "sheet" of towel they give you.  I don't know about you all, but I like leaving the restroom with my hands dry thank you very much!  I wipe my ass with more toilet paper than this thing gives you....And what's with the LONG ASS time that it takes for it to feed out more.  It's like the damn thing is waiting for you to get frustrated and walk away before spitting more out.  /facepalm

2) "PUSH" water faucets

Alright, this damn idea is PLAGUED with issues!  You get your hands all lathered up good with the lovely scented soap that is available [/sarcasm] and then you have to freaking HOLD the faucet button down in order to keep the water running.  First, you cannot scrub your hands while rinsing AND you have to hold the button down, which more or less nullifies you even washing your hands in the first place.  Granted, you are getting the fecal matter off, but God only knows what you are picking up that other people might have left on the handle.  Annoying...that is all.

3) Motion activated hand dryers

OK, so this one is not quite as annoying as the other items listed above, but there are still times that it bothers me nonetheless.  First off, you look like an idiot swinging your hands around under the damn thing trying to find the stupid sensor so that it turns on.  All the while, you are splashing water all over your pants, which we all know can make you look not so good if you are a guy.  Besides, being able to hammer on that huge button the older versions of these had to turn them on...oh so much fun :o)

Well, that is my rather abbreviated list of annoyances.  You got any good ones?
