Today's modern non-problem

Automation.

I don't know about you, but I think public spaces should be all automatic or not automatic at all.

Why have automatic toilets when you have to turn on the sink by yourself?

Or, why have automatic sinks when you have to pump the soap by hand?

Don't get me started on the towel dispenser.

It's too confusing to switch back and forth.

At the bank down the street, the first set of doors isn't automatic, but the second set is (there's a weird little vestibule in between). That works out fine when you're walking into the bank. But I can't tell you how many times I've nearly smacked into the non-automatic doors on my way out of the bank. My brain just expects that second set of doors to open on its own.

All or nothing, people. All. Or. Nothing. 

I have a summer cold. So, yes, I'm grumpy about stupid things.
