Commercial Restrooms

If there is one place companies really know how to pinch pennies it is in their restrooms, and boy does it hurt!

1. Toilet paper - They seem to battle on who can use the thinnest paper possible. Course it just means people use more to have the correct layers between them and what they are wiping. What really gets annoying is when they use thin paper on humongous rolls. When you get a new roll like this the pull neccessary to get the roll to turn is almost the same as the pull to tear off the paper. You end up having to coax it out (they always put these big rolls in covered containers so you can only reach under and get a hold of a small piece) slowly or get it in tiny little pieces. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrh!
2. Water flow - Some toilets have so little water flow that even the urinals have to be flushed multiple times to get the waste gone. And of course many of the people using the restroom (at least in the men's) don't worry about it. Consequently these restrooms don't smell bad, which may be another part of the plan, you try to get out as soon as you can!
3. Spring faucet handles - You have to press the handle to get about 2-3 seconds of water!
4. Motion sensor faucet handles - Course these you have no choice in temperature and how many of you have leaned into the mirror to check your tie or your eye and got your tie soaked in water because it swung in front of the sensor.
5. Motion sensor soap - All right, this is going just to frigging far! Now you have to be careful with getting your hand to close to eat as you rub them under the water. A little soap on that shirt cuff?
6. Towel dispensers - They come in all shaps and styles and they are mostly terrible. The spring loaded which insures that you get just one towel at a time. And of course what you get certainly isn't enough to dry both hands. Now they even have motion sensor towel dispensers. You have to wait for the sensor to reset before you can get the second or third you need to get dry!
7. High pressure sinks - Ok, admit it! At least once you have been splashed by water (right where people will assume it is another liquid) from this faucets that seem to lie in wait for the worst time, first date, important interview, etc..
