This Day Is Not Mine

An American Test

Lately we’ve been catching more and more crap for being a nation of impatience. Do our leaders give them reason to believe this with the decisions they make or is it the mobs of tourist demanding service from wait staff abroad? Whatever their complaint I’d like to say that they’re wrong. Dead wrong.

For people like that I have a question that I believe could destroy their argument. How can you say we’re an impatient people when 90% of our public restrooms use automatic hand dryers!? From birth we’re made to use these, the most trying test of patience, every time we need to divulge in one of nature’s most basic necessities away from home. It has come to the point that a childlike smile crosses our lips when we pass a public sink and discover a paper towel dispenser. That’s how serious it is. And to make the challenge even harder some of them even have little messages on the side that say they save paper and they’re more sanitary...blah blah blah blah. The message that should really be on there should say something like...
“We are far too cheap to purchase towels and we apologize for that and the fact that we’re making you wait this long to dry your hands. Please please please shop with us again anyway.”
At the very least they could put little robots in there to dry them for you with hand towels. They could even tell you a joke or give you advice or something.

A tailor that wears a vest, fits the best.

Really, restrooms use those things so they don't have to empty the trash every day. But, have you ever wondered why like 80% of guys don't wash their hands after they pee? Maybe it's the drying they don't like.
