How much do automatic paper towel dispensers annoy you?

Question

seems like you can do a frickin hula dance in front of them and they won't give it up, but if you don't want a towel and look sideways at them, out comes a whole roll!

Answer 1

Right you are!

Then.....there ya are with wet hands. You try pulling down a towel and the cheap paper gets wet and breaks. Grrrr

Worse yet! How about those Wal-Mart towel rolls. It's like a mile long coil all wrapped up. You pull them down and they don't come out nice and straight. They come out in a twisted coil. It's a good thing I leave my gun in the car when I go in there! That makes me sooo mad! Grrrrrrrrrrr

Worst or all.....I hate when there are no towel dispensers at all. "For sanitary reasons" there is only the hand blower. Ahhhhh blow this! I hate those things! They are too slow. I'm a busy on-the-go type of guy! Things to do! People to see! I just don't have time for this malarky!

This question really gets me all riled up!!!! I can't stand the whole paper towel issue! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH!!!

Of Great! Now ya did it! I just crapped my pants! Thanks a lot!!!!

Answer 2

I don't have that problem with the paper towel dispensers but I can NEVER get the automatic faucets to work. It's like I am a vampire. I put my hand under one, it doesn't work, so I go down to the next one, the first one goes on. I try to get my hands wet under the first one, it goes off before I get my hands under it and then the second one goes on. And so on and so forth. I love the idea of not having to touch things that other people touched in a public restroom though.

Answer 3

LOL! I know it! UGH I hate those stupid things!

My hands are practically dry by the time IM done waving them around in front of the dispenser trying to get a dang paper towel!!

IM glad it's not just me!

Answer 4

LOL...I know what you're saying. The whole purpose of those dispensers are for you not to touch it. I wave my hand in front of it just like the directions tell me to do but nothing comes out. I still have to end up pushing the sensor anyway, defeating the whole purpose.

Answer 5

oH yes. those things are the worst invention mankind has come up with. Well, not the worst, but they work the worst. They are more sanitary,but at what cost? Total frustration!!! Once I tried a billion times waving my hand in front of them, and then I found out it was empty. Sigh. Sometimes I play with them and use way weird ways of making the towels come out.

Answer 6

How much do they annoy? A LOT!

Not as much as automatic toilets though...especially when they won't flush! When they first came out, I thought they worked by somebody watching with a camera (LOL)

Answer 7

LOL at Hula dance. It's getting bad -- with the sensor-based toilets and sinks, sometimes I forget to turn off the water when it has a manual valve.

Answer 8

I'm a germaphobe... so I like them because I don't have to touch the handle. Then I use the paper to turn off the water then to cuff the door nobe and open it so I don't have to touch the handle.

Answer 9

I am glad to see them. Where I live you are lucky to find paper towels at all. Most bars/restaurants have gone to the "hot air machine" that never works and you wind up wiping your hands on your pants.

Answer 10

ughhh i hate them!!! all they do is "bzzzzzzzzz" then the towels get jammed and then you totally freak out and you start sayin out loud, "okay towels you can stop your little game now! youre just pure evil!!!"
then later your hips hurt from hula dancing for so long! lol
