My office has automatic faucets in the bathroom and I've started sticking my hands under the faucet at home and wondering for a second where the water is. - eviltoast

What the hell is wrong with me?

    If those automatic faucets actually worked well I would probably have reached this state too. But even in 2023 they seem pretty slow to respond and don’t sense your hands half the time. I hate sitting there like an idiot waving my hand into and out of the sink trying to coax the dipshit faucet into recognizing my existence.

      I’m glad I’m not the only one with this issue. Automatic hand dryers are even worse. Those Dyson V-shaped ones NEVER turn on for me no matter what kind of hand dance I try to perform for it.

      This happened to me the other day. Soap all over my hands and the sink did nothing. I had to move around to try other sinks, moving around other people. Then some other dude goes to my last sink and it works just fine for him. I guess my hands don’t reflect IR light as much as his?
