Peeve of the Day: Using Too Many Paper Towels

I understand it’s annoying to have wet hands.  Especially when you are about to go sit down at a computer.  Believe me, I am borderline psychotic about any foreign substances (even the good ol’ H2O) coming anywhere near my precious aluminum MBP.

However, I also deem it completely unnecessary to stand waving your hand in front of the automatic censor for 5 minutes to get half the roll out of the paper towel dispenser to make sure EVERY LAST DROP is off of your hands before you even touch the bathroom door.  Not only are you inconveniencing everyone else waiting to dry their hands and waiting for you to finish your paper towel marathon, but you are killing massive amounts of trees.  Yes, YOU are contributing to what is now known as the Climate Crisis (and formerly known as Global Warming).

These handy censor dispensers are made to distribute the exact amount of paper towel that it should take to dry your hands.  If you have extremely large and/or clammy hands, then by all means, take two.  But please, before Al Gore finds you and gives you paper cuts in the age old eye for an eye fashion, just knock it off.
