Cleaning Up

This is a note to the manufacturers of public bathroom faucets, especially those in large corporate environments, such as my office: I am a big girl now and can turn water on and off all by myself. I can adjust hot and cold water to get it to be the exact temperature I want. I use know how to use the pump soap and shut the water off when I am finished.

That being cleared up, PLEASE get rid of the little push button faucet knobs. They don't dispense nearly enough water for me to clean the soap bubbles away and it is really awkward for me to use my elbow to continuously push it down until I have finally achieved the task at hand. Also, I won't waste paper towels so it's okay to leave the paper dispenser. I like having a choice of the air blower or the paper towels for drying purposes. Sometimes the air dryers just take too long.

Believe me, I know there are a lot of other grown-ups out there who do not follow proper bathroom etiquette, and may use too many paper towels, or keep the water running. I, too, believe in conservation and saving the environment. But those damn push button faucets have got to go... I'll even give you the air dryer (but can you make it the super-duper one that dries my hands in about a second? I love those!!!)

Must not be much in the day-to-day life of a park ranger since you post an average of once every 6 weeks (and your last post was in late December).

But I digress...Public bathrooms treat us like children, as if we're going to blow our entire allowance on bubblegum and porn, and we need the help of a responsible adult to keep us in line.

Personally I think the companies that own the restrooms are just mad because it takes 3 paper towels to dry my huge hands. Enormous hands. You know what they say about that, right? Big hands, big....

Gloves.
