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