OVERLOAD ON THE AUTOMATIC-NESS IN THE BATHROOM??? I THINK YES!!!!

So a few weeks ago I was taken back while using the restroom in the Wilkinson center, when all of a sudden I'm reaching for some T.P. and it starts beeping at me and automatically dispensing. Wow. Ok, so this is alright I guess, definately a new sensation, but I can get used to it.

Accompanied by the automatic flush, there is a lot of stuff going on here without me doing a whole lot of anything. Then I proceed to the sink where there is automatic soap dispensers AND automatic water faucets. It doesn't end there, I'm starting to feel a bit distressed and over whelmed as I go to search for some paper towel dispensers, but all I can find is this giant silver boxish thing. I am pulling any sort of lever on it I can find, when I see someone else working this thing. K, so there are two small holes where you insert your hands, and then you pull them out as a massive wind of air blows them dry on the way out. INTEEEENSE!!!!! and a bit frightening I might add!!! No joke!!!!!

You exit this bathroom with an automatic squirt of suck the moisture out of your hands anti-bacterial soap. I don't know what they were thinking, but it almost makes for an inter-galactic restroom experience. I suppose they are attempting to make it as "restful" and "effortless" as possible, because I feel like I'm just giving things the o.k. signal to go, the entire time I'm in there. I'm not sure how comfortable I am with all this "automatic" nonsense. It's so very foreign to not even be able to control home much toilet paper you want to use. How much TP I use should be up to me, not some fancy machine. I'm sure it's just an attempt to not waste as much paper, but it's definately a new phenomenon that has taken me some time to adjust to. In all honesty there is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned bathroom... I miss being able to control my bathroom experience, not having it control me. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't know what sparked this change, but the bathroom in the Wilk is just not the same as it once was. There is a comfort in knowing you are in control of your time in the restroom, but they are just trying to get you in and out, just like everything else now days. Nothing like IN N' OUT though...that's just fine.
