I would like to start out by saying, "Whose dumb idea was this?!" I mean, seriously? What is the purpose of these inventions? Is it because we are so incompetent that we need machine to flush our toilet for us? As I wash my hands, I, for one, always think about how difficult it is to turn the faucet. Sometimes it's beyond my physical capability.
Other than pure human laziness, this dumb appliance was first created for sanitation purposes. Some clean freak probably complained about having to tough the soap button, or the bathroom faucets, or, God forbid, the toilet handle, which you wash your hands after using anyway. For you clean freaks out there, suck it up! Half the time, the sinks and soap dispensers don't work. So how's that working out for you? Are you getting your hands washed anyway? I didn't think so. Even if you had to touch some germ infested surfaces, you at least would have been able to wash your hands a little bit.
So next time you're waving your hand frantically over the paper towel dispenser, or when you jump up while going to the bathroom because the premature flush scared you half to death, think about the person who first created them. And make sure you curse them as you walk out of the bathroom with unwashed hands.
