the best and most hygienic options<\/a> for public restrooms.\u00a0 Let’s look at this objectively, shall we?\u00a0 In a controlled and carefully manipulated scientific atmosphere, and with light use, I’m sure these things are actually pretty decent.<\/p>\nBut let’s also take a look at reality.\u00a0 Think back to every time you’ve actually seen these contraptions in action.\u00a0 They almost always tend to be in the seediest and most questionable restrooms.\u00a0 Which kind of makes sense as they would appeal to the laziest of operators who want to spend as little time as possible maintaining their restrooms.\u00a0 Due to questionable sanitary conditions and constant overuse, they’re all wrinkly and dirty and still wet from the last six guys who were in there doing whatever it is they do.\u00a0 The linen towels on these things are always absolutely disgusting.\u00a0 Hardly sanitary, let alone reassuring.\u00a0 I feel better wiping my hands on my shirt.<\/p>\n

2. Dual drive-thrus.<\/strong>\u00a0 A relatively recent phenomenon, I can sense the logic.\u00a0 Get people in and their order taken as quick as possible.\u00a0 People are impatient in the first world, after all.\u00a0 This will speed up the process, get people through quicker, which makes them happy, but even more important brings in more revenue, which makes us happy.\u00a0 Sounds great.\u00a0 In theory.<\/p>\nIn practical reality, however, they are horrible.\u00a0 Whenever you take an order, then have to ask every car in line which order is their’s, you know it’s not working as intended.\u00a0 And the kicker?\u00a0 They still get it wrong way too often.\u00a0 You still end up driving away with somebody else’s order, wondering who got your food.<\/p>\n
Then there’s the schmucks who risk an accident to rush around you to get in what they believe will be the quicker side.\u00a0 Or the lackey who hasn’t been paying attention and takes orders out of order.\u00a0 Yes, just a lovely experience all around.<\/p>\n

3. Spray on hair, hair in a can, whatever it was called.\u00a0<\/strong> It was invented and sold by Ronco, inventors and makers of a plethora of supremely quirky gadgets and novelties… though I will say that my Ronco Showtime Rotisserie is freaking awesome.<\/p>\nAnyways, was this really intended to be serious?\u00a0 As strange as it may seem, I think so.\u00a0 I think Ron Popeil is supremely serious in all his inventions and innovations.\u00a0 Which, of course, makes it all the funnier.\u00a0 It didn’t help that the actors in the television commercials were serious.\u00a0 I always wondered how they were able to keep straight faces.<\/p>\n
This photo here is proof that it’s a good idea, right?\u00a0 <wink wink, nod nod>\u00a0 Men with hair get all the babes.\u00a0 That’s how it works, isn’t it?\u00a0 Isn’t that why some men do comb-overs?\u00a0 To get the babes?\u00a0 At least that’s how it’s sold to young boys and men growing up, ![\"\"](\"http:\/\/kurmudgeon.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/b3fa180e5d981067c3603f72fafdfd9e-carol-burnett-secretary-150x150.jpg\")
if you don’t have a full head of hair you need the illusion of a full head of hair.\u00a0 And we won’t even get into toupees, ala Mr Tudball.\u00a0 The only way you can get a babe without a full head of hair is to be rich.\u00a0 This thinking, naturally… no pun intended… is equally insulting to both men and women.\u00a0 It implies that each sex is shallow.<\/p>\n
Well, ok, both sexes ARE shallow in their own ways.\u00a0 No one sees that about themselves, though, just the other side.<\/p>\n
