Dispenser Truly Sucks

After a month or so of operation, it's clear that this dispenser sucks. We all hate it.

From yesterday's Fark thread, Theme: Photoshop the cover or a page from "The Fark Guide to Personal Hygiene"

That's about it.
 

Yep. The stupid thing jams. We put one of its replacement rolls on the counter and just use that.

Thanks for the automated b-day message, btw.

It seems to be a trend....or a goal. Every new model is a little more frustrating than the last. At least the old ones, a couple models back, had work arounds so they wouldn't leave you stuck. Now they don't give a crap if you're stuck. :mad:

I'm glad somebody brought this up. What in the flyin' hell is up with everything in public bathrooms being electric now? Automatic toilets, automatic water faucets, automatic towell dispensers - seriously - I do not get it. I do not think until convinced otherwise that water is saved over manual flushing and how is having paper dispensed to me better than me grabbing it.

And my favorite question about the electric bathroom - what happens during an extended power outage?

So you don't have to touch anything.

I must agree. I hate electric/automatic everything. The towel dispensers where the little towelies just hang down are fine; I don't have to touch anything and I don't have to wait a half an hour while the stupid machine goes "Whirrrr, whir whir, whirrrrrrrrrr" just to get a square. The nasty asses aren't washing their hands anyway. Auto DOOR HANDLES is what we need.

AND I can flush my own toilet, thank you very much, even if I hit it with my foot. Not much worse than sitting on a toilet and having it decide (because you leaned over to fart or something :) ) that it's time to flush. It splashes all over your butt. Or the other side is someone is waiting for the stall and you are desperately waving your hands around trying to force a flush so you don't leave a lovely view for the next person.

Don't even get me started on electric car windows!

(Whew, I feel better now!)

Foot Flusher
 

Yeah, I'm a foot flusher and a foot seat-put-downer, too.

I recently got a new used car (96 Maxima), my first with electric everything. The remote door locks/unlocks have created a weird situation:

Would you believe that I've recently caught myself trying to use my car remote to open the door to where I live? Talk about mind weirdness. My mind says "Use this button to unlock doors" and I forget that it's ONLY for my car doors. :redface:

I do the same thing! In fact, I wish I could get an automatic door unlocker/opener for my place. It would make it much easier when I go to the grocery store hungry and have way too much food!

Thank goodness...
 

...I thought I was abnormal there for a moment.:o

Who ever said I was normal.....:tinfoil:

They make 'em. ;)

Even Better
 

We have these at work now, I was skeptical at first, but now I love them.

It just now struck me that these automated towel dispensers are partly intended as an alternative to electric hand dryers. Given the title of this thread, I guess that this means that adopters of the devices would then be replacing something that blows with something that sucks.
