[Rant] My Co-Workers are Morons

All my co-workers have at least the equivalent of two university majors, one bachelor and two state degrees. Let's say their brains are pretty stuffed, so stuffed that they can't figure out how to use this thing! You pull UNTIL IT CLICKS, this starts a spring mechanism which a few seconds later allows the next person to pull again. If you don't pull till the click, all you leave the next person is a wet rag with your germs on it. It's as simple as that. Why they can't do that is beyond me.

I thought those abominations were removed from this earth forever ago...I haven't seen one in years.

As someone in the US who has never seen this before: What the hell is that?

We have similar abominations where I work. Here too everyone has at least a bachelors, and frequently a masters as well. They still screw up.

I don't believe you. Germans know how to perfectly operate any kind of machinery.

Everything at our office needs large bold instructions on the front of it. Even then, they are often ignored. I really want to put a sign in the bathroom like "FLUSH THE GODDAMN TOILET WHEN YOU LEAVE ASSHOLE" but I don't think it would stay there for very long. Seriously, people suck.

Underwear dispenser.

You think that's dumb?

I'm on a fed.gov Macintosh team, and we sometimes get new machines from Apple to test.

One of the new 5K iMacs just came in, and one of my colleagues just talked about the design and the crispness of the display with the blind dude from 508 compliance team.

Our bathroom has a soap dispenser, and a lotion dispenser.

Why there are sometimes dirty mechanic palm prints on the pump for the lotion I'll never understand.

Who is putting lotion on with dirty hands???

Not to mention the times the towel dispenser has a dirty handle..... if you're not clean enough to NOT leave a greasy streak on the paper towel dispenser (and the soap, and the lotion) WASH YOUR HANDS AGAIN.

My coworkers can't even figure out how toilets work. Anything that comes out of your body needs to go in the watery part. How complicated is that?

No, it's underwear on a continuous loop.

I've seen them before... but I think the last one I saw was in Germany or South Korea. Wipe towel that runs from an unused roll to a used roll. Kind of like a towel cassette tape.

How about 'don't throw your chewing gum into the urinal'. We have a phantom gum spitter here and the janitors don't pick it out until it's mentioned to them or the things start draining poorly.

WHY WOULD YOU THROW YOUR GUM IN THE URINAL? There's multiple trash cans right there . Even after numerous memos/emails it continues.

I would love to see the "please stop spitting gum into the urinal" memo!!!

How have you never seen one in the US? (West Coast US here and have seen them off and on in restrooms for years)

I hate those damn towel holders. Id rather air dry my hands than use one of them

Midwest US here. We have either blow dryers or regular paper towel dispensers.

I haven't seen a cloth roll in years. Americans like to create trash, I guess.

Weird, they aren't that common anymore but, not that uncommon either I feel

McMike > Klaus Schmoll
11/14/2014 at 13:34

He's an idiot. The only thing worth mentioning is the display (sure it got a better processor and graphics)

The fact that he didn't catch himself before telling a blind guy how much better 5120 x 2880 was over the 2560 x 1440 to a guy who has never seen 2560 x 1440 was the stupid part

I'm actually not a fan of the rotating towel thing, I feel like it's just a rotating hotbed of germs and gross.

Klaus Schmoll > Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz)
11/14/2014 at 15:08

Well it has an unused and a used drum. It's more like a cassette. So you always get a fresh portion.

Galileo Humpkins (aka MC Clap Yo Handz) > Klaus Schmoll
11/14/2014 at 15:48

Ah, I clearly never knew that. Makes more sense than just rotating a used towel over and over.

I never realized there were two rolls... I always thought these things were gross. I feel dumb.

Where are you? I haven't seen one of these in.... Many years.

Obviously this is a stock picture, but they are in every bathroom at a school in Munich. I would even say that it is a wealthy school for children of better-off parents.

They try to have a low CO2 output and whatnot.

It's like a cloth towel that just rotates.

I never knew that either.

Yeah! I used to see these things all the time as a kid and now all we use is blow dryers. which I don't use. lol.
