Oct 18 2007No-Touch Faucet Is Better Than Not Washing

If there's one thing I hate, it's touching things. Things are gross and covered with germs. Well thanks to the Miscea Sensor Activated Faucet, there's one less thing you have to touch in the world -- sink knobs. You turn the water on by waving your hand, and can increase/decrease the temperature or dispense soap with similar motions. Sure it's a good idea, but not as good as mine. It's called not washing. Sure you just had your penis in your hand, but that's okay -- it's your penis. If it was the guy's next to you, well, that's a whole different thing.

so if I take a shower in the morning, and get dressed right away, and assuming I don't shit myself, shouldn't my penis be the cleanest part of my body? if anything, I should wash BEFORE I whip the big boy out, not after.
and that is why I never wash my hands in a public restroom.

Ummm, this is nothing new. Has been in Europe for about a decade. Been there, done that.

not that i hate the idea, but ideas like these are probably why we are such a sick, vulnerable people. Where are we supposed to build immunities from? No wonder every kid from here to LA is allergic to peanuts. Next thing you know, we won't be able to touch people and will be living in individual bubbles. for shame.

#5 - that sounds great! I'd love to have my own bubble. Not that I'm allergic, or afraid of germs. I just think it would be a great way to avoid contact with assholes

In Canada these are in common use. For the first little while using them compelled you to mutter "whoooosh" and feel important, but the novelty has worn off and life has since returned to grey.

Okay, not washing is just gross. You touch many things in a bathroom (women more than men as we like doors on the stalls) and if you don't wash your hands when you leave, you are spreading the nasty fecal matter all over everything else you touch. I don't mind getting sick and building immunities but I do mind having urine and feces on my hands and, inadvertantly, in my mouth, on my face, on my computer, remote control, and... well, you get the point.
