AIBU?
To think that taps are getting too complicated
SunFinished · 23/06/2017 20:31
I stood in the toilets of a training event today trying to wash my hands. They had some naive fancy taps so I put my hands under the spouty bit for about 30 seconds thinking the tap was sensor related, stupid thing wasn't. Then I had to work out how to get water to flow! Turns out it had a thing which I thought was the soap dispenser and I had to turn it. Am I the only one who thinks taps can be quite tricky these days?

oh i had a terrible experience in a new hotel restaurant in Dundee....for a start the toilet doors are louvred so you can see out, and i presume people can see in if they are at the right angle.
THEN the taps have the weird sensor to get the water and were an odd T shape
I managed to get my hands wet and reached for the soap, went back to rinse BUT the top arms of the T turn into the dryer....and it was one of those super vicious air force hurricane style ones
it scared me, and I still had soap to rinse off, and then it wouldn't go back a stage to give me water so I had to brave another set to rinse.
I dried my hands on toilet paper.

I've stood in a restaurant toilet many a time trying to figure out how to work the taps. I get that the sensor ones are more hygienic, but some of them are baffling to work.
I also hate those sensor loo flushes that flush if you move even slightly whilst going to the toilet and give you a fright!

I can totally picture all of that.

This reminds me of when I was to a park/ petting zoo thing and the taps were pedal powered (so you stepped on a pedal) and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out even though it worked for everyone else.
I had to slunk away in shame with my two year old feeling like an utter failure
