complaint of the day

bathrooms

let's start out with a compliment... newly redone, clean, deodourized.
now enough with that, on to the hating.

a) super flush
you know, the flush so violent that it splashes up ON YOU before you can exit the stall? a good vigorous flush is needed time and again to whisk away certain... unpleasantness but... toilet water is toilet water and it's ON ME!
and you'd think a flush like that would take everything away with it! alas, that is not the case... i'm going to call it a blender flush. it tears toilet paper to shreds and leaves the tailings to drift back up into the bowl... the imagery - it is amazing, is it not?

b) toilet paper
in lieu of the half ply toilet paper on rolls, this facility has opted for half ply toilet paper in sheet form. where you have to pull it out one sheet at a time over and over and over and over and OVER again until you have a decent amount. and it's not cohesive! unless you mash the sheets all together into a little wad not at all viable for the intended purpose, you're apt to drop a few sheets.

c) splashworks
A+ for installing motion activated soap dispensers and faucets... but D- on the details. to get the faucet to come on, your hands have to be in line with the sensor. the sensor is above the edge of the sink. when the faucet springs to life, the water splashes up off your hands onto the counter. i mean hey, not my problem but still... maintenance should have a word with these artsy bathroom designer people.
