More about my Bathroom Fetish

[brickhousewench]

Anyone who has been reading me for a while knows that I have a bit of a thing about bathrooms. I’ve written about them in faire reports on more than one occasion and I wrote about the hand driers in the loo my first day at The Mushroom Farm. Yep, I will judge your faire or facility by the state of the bathrooms. Because when I gotta go, I want to

I am not convinced that automatic faucets are good for anything. They are expensive, require electricity (moar energy waste), utilize sensors which can fail (I’ve been in many a restroom where at least one faucet was b0rked), and waste water by continuing to run after one has finished his or her ablutions...

Automatic sensor often cannot see me. This means I have to get someone else to turn on auto-faucets and push the buttons on auto-flush toilets.
Also I have bumped into many an automatic door because it didn't see me and therefore didn't open.

Auto-toilet horror story:
Co-worker is pinching a loaf in an airport toilet, pants around his ankles, with his laptop in one hand to prevent theft. Toilet flushes by itself while he is still, ahem, engaged, and blocks up. Hilarity ensues (¡not!) as he duck-walks through the muddy water spilling onto the floor, paperwork incomplete (YUK), trying to haul his pants up enough to keep them from getting soaked and stanky without dropping his computer...

Technology FAIL.

Ewwww. Thanks for that mental image. =P

Oh, gross.

Ugh, I HATE when they can't see you! That's the worst.

That, and automatic toilets flushing while I'm still sitting down, just because I moved to get some TP. =P
