Automatic Hand soap dispensers

Okay so quick clarification on last weeks post before I go into this one: my polisci teacher is not in fact a man. Because I am taking an online class, I never really found out the gender of said teacher. As it turns out, she is in fact a woman. A German woman. Which explains a lot. 

Anyway, this week's post. It is about something that really, really annoys me. We've all experienced their attempts to shoot out soap, but end up missing your hand or never even firing in the first place. That is right: automatic hand soap dispensers. They first appeared in hoity toity public bathrooms that made you feel like you were in fact going to be germ free. I mean it's automatic and therefore preventing the germs that are on soap dispensers from ever touching your hands. 

Then they appeared everywhere, getting more soap on the counter than on your hands, and hardly ever even sensing your hands in the first place. My friend and I were in the bathroom at a fast food restaurant yesterday, and there was one in there. Between the both of us, we waved our hands at least twenty times, and we barely got the three squirts that were available. Not to mention, the "right amount every time," turned out to be this pathetic squirt that would only get a clean hand clean. And our hands were not clean. We had just spend two hours on playground equipment.
Now they have ones for home!

I mean, I can understand automatic faucets. You do have to turn off faucets, which defeats the purpose of washing your hands in the first place. I can even understand automatic paper towel dispensers (haha they're fun to play with :)). But I cannot possibly understand hand soap dispensers. I've already stated the noticeable traits that I don't like, but there is one thing that I really have a problem with. Why does it matter whether or not you get germs on your hands? You're using the soap to WASH your hands! That means you're washing the germs right off of your hands. It's not like they'll be on there long enough to hold on with their little germ hands and never let go. The real reason why they sell the home ones, is to waste your money, and just hope that gullible people think that they're saving themselves. Please people, do not buy these things. Frustration, thrown away money, and soapy counters will only come your way.
