automatic for the people

i'm at the minneapolis/st. paul airport, bound for denver. i just visited the facilities, where everything was automatic -- automatic flush toilet, automatic faucets, automatic soap dispensers and automatic paper towel dispensers.

are we that lazy?

i can understand the automatic faucet and paper towel dispenser for the means of conservation. but whatever resources i conserve by not letting the tap run an extra 15 seconds, i totally cancel out when the toilet flushes two more times than is necessary as i'm trying to put my backpack back on and get out of the stall door.

well, at least it keeps you from having to touch so much in a public restroom.;)

ah. point taken. i'm the complete opposite of a germophobe, so i never think about the germs.
