The stupid brown paper towel dispenser in restrooms with the saw teeth edges you have to grip with 2 wet hands and pull to release a square.

It's like a game to try not to rip/dissolve it while also applying enough force to get a towel out.

The push faucet sinks where you also have to touch the disgusting wall of the sink to get any water on your hands

I’ll take chunks of paper bag tissue any day over the wall-mounted hair dryer.

Speaking of paper bags….paper grocery bags suck. I know they’re better for the earth and all but they’re a PITB to open and give you paper cuts when your hands are dry. Hated them when I worked at Winn Dixie in high school.

The originals were called Jarts and were awesome. Had to be agile and on your toes when humming back and forth at each other

Styrofoam food containers. They are cheap. That's it. Plastic or paper would do fine.

I'd say even worse or the motion control faucets. Many of them squirt out about an ounce of water if any water at all. I'm sure they worked fine when they were first installed but it's pretty obvious they quickly degrade over time.

Lawn Darts


My best friend back in high school(he probably posts here and would remember this) had an outdoor game room his dad built with a pool table, video games, dart board, etc. We were shooting pool and he grabs a lawn dart and tells me to duck. He threw a lawn dart at the dart board, it hit bullseye, knocked out the center and was stuck in the wood. We couldn't pull that thing out. I thought his dad would be pissed but he was actually impressed by it.
