Things That Make You Go, "Hmm..."

[Creemteez]

No-touch soap dispensers.
Hoses/Vacuum Cleaner flexes that get caught on the slightest thing, thus becoming hopelessly tangled/immobile.
...There are more - A LOT more - but It's Saturday and I've had a glass (or two) of wine.
Come on, help me out here....

Wayne Fontana had a similar problem

I just don't get no-touch soap dispensers at all. Where's the point having germ-free soap containers if you turn on the tap with germy hands, and then turn it off with clean ones, transferring all those germs back to your hands? No-touch taps would be a far better choice.

Dan Brown...Hmmmmmm

My son has some facial stuff in a no-touch dispenser. The danged thing's on a hair trigger and will spit green gunk at anyone who goes near the bathroom sink.

We had elbow taps in the microbiology labs at uni.

Hmmm.....lots of profit in that for the manufacturers then

Oh yes...bit like Colman's.

And that chap in USA who made the toothpaste companies millions of dollars by widening the tube opening by 1mm......

...and the one who made more profits for toilet roll companies by reducing the width a few millimetres. But they haven't made toilet roll holders narrower to fit, have they? The roll slaps from side to side like a hand weaver's shuttle every time you give the sheets a pull.

I can pull most of these together - new job at a new whizz bang unit. And I'm asking 'Why with all the sensor tap doovers, the zap your card to get thru a door thingies, and everything else that goes Ping, can't they give us toilet roll holders that let the paper OUT! We're all obsessed with toilet paper in that place. Some people actually care that it's only one ply in there. I might care if I could get even one piece of one ply OUT!
