Use your head to hold it down, works everytime

[–]benjamg 16 points17 points ago

Not if you have long hair.

[–]SnazzyNannersz[S] 32 points33 points ago

The other head.

[–]im_a_zombie 11 points12 points ago

What if you have long pubic hair?

[–]iScreme 15 points16 points ago

Wash that too.

[–]Snarky30 6 points7 points ago

You'll get more blowjobs.

[–]Kode47 2 points3 points ago

Cleans your hair too then, two birds with one stone and all.

[–]xiEmber 17 points18 points ago

I've found that if you slam on it hard enough with your palm, it sticks and stays down for a decent amount of time before shutting off.

Then again, doing this can also lead to your palm hurting really fucking bad.

[–]Kode47 9 points10 points ago

Yeah, but then you'll be the guy angrily smashing the faucet in the washroom.

[–]xiEmber 15 points16 points ago

With clean hands.

[–]Capitan_Amazing 2 points3 points ago

Worth it.

[–]axel2191 14 points15 points ago

4 seconds? More like a second. Every single one I have encountered turns off as soon as you let go.

[–]Camplify 9 points10 points ago

I hate these and the automatic toilets that flush on you mid-shit.

[–]AngryCod 18 points19 points ago

It's called a "courtesy flush" and the toilet's trying to tell you to stop pooping so much.

[–]MagiDidymusJames 0 points1 point ago

I'M DONE WHEN I SAY GOD DAMMIT!

[–]cmfhsu 8 points9 points ago

Those I can deal with. The automatic bathroom lights that shut off mid-shit are the worst. I'M IN A FUCKING STALL-either put the goddamn motion detector inside the stall or give me a light switch, you hippie motherfuckers.

[–]Jaivez 4 points5 points ago

Throw your shoe over the stall.

Then hope nobody steals it.

[–]diemunkiesdie 2 points3 points ago

Bathroom shoe thief logic: That stall is giving out free left shoes! I must tell everyone I know, but better take it with me for proof!

[–]HoneybeeProfessor 0 points1 point ago

The light in my old office on campus was one of those motion detector ones. Like every 15 minutes I had to stop what I was doing to get up and jump and flail around in front of the detector like an idiot to get the light to turn back on. The worst part is there was a giant window to the hallway and everyone walking by could see everything I did in there.

[–]-eDgAR- 10 points11 points ago

The water pressure on those always sucks too, it's like having someone spit water on your hands.

[–]AngryCod 19 points20 points ago

Either that or it's set to "power washer" mode, where you get to wash your hands, the sink, the mirror, your pants, and everyone around you.

[–]-eDgAR- 5 points6 points ago

Those are even worse and of course whenever that happens the bathroom doesn't have an air hand dryer, so you have to walk out looking like you pissed all over yourself.

[–]lazyfanatic 5 points6 points ago

fuck air hand dryers, too.

[–]Sobertese 0 points1 point ago

Stuck my penis in a dyson air blade once.

[–]nbshark 10 points11 points ago

I've seen many people open the tap, wash their hands and then walk away...! With the tap still running... They built this in for dumbass annoying douche bags... It's a sad world we live in.

[–]Ariesmom07 0 points1 point ago

Ugh I hate those too.

[–]LyingPervert 0 points1 point ago

Too make things worse, the guy who washed his hands before you just took a shit

[–]lemonboy71 0 points1 point ago

Bring Sellotape everywhere you go, when using restroom with such taps, initiate Sellotape over tap. Wash hands happily, be a good sport and leave the tap for next adventurer.

[–]TheNuuge 2 points3 points ago

The people who use these in their establishments are the same people who give children apples on Halloween.

[–]BlackPresident -1 points0 points ago

Try filling your water bottle with one of these

[–]Throwaway281281 5 points6 points ago

Hold the thing down with one hand and hold your bottle with the other. Not that hard man.

[–]Mostly_All_Right_Guy 1 point2 points ago

Unless you have only one hand, then you're screwed!

One building at my university has those shitty things.

I try to stay away from that buildign.

[–]DeeCees 0 points1 point ago

These were attached to the showers in The Tent in Munich for Oktoberfest.

Just kept punching the wall.

[–]br_alm 0 points1 point ago

Just press it like 8 times. Be a rebel.

[–]My_favorite_things 0 points1 point ago

...airplanes man. Airplanes.

[–]Melvar_10 1 point2 points ago

i hate these, but they save the place money. I cant tell you how many times I've been somewhere where there was a faucet with a lever and some asshat would leave the faucet on and running.....

[–]tdi 0 points1 point ago

In our workplace this works such that when you press 3 times fast it lasts very long. When you press once it is regular time.

[–]LokisDawn 1 point2 points ago

You're friggin lucky. My dormitory's SHOWER has this same mechanism, which is timed to five unbelievable seconds. It's is nearly impossible to jerk off in the showers, since you have to push that button constantly.

[–]lewisthemusician 1 point2 points ago

depending on the height, you can rest your back on the button comfortably

[–]fellandor 0 points1 point ago

This type of ergonomic Tape design is obviously to stop all the dicks from keeping the tap on and wasting a hole shit L's of Water, Which a lot of people would do. That's why they have em in schools, if they didn't I guess the school would be going bankrupt from just the water bill.

[–]austeregrim 0 points1 point ago

Have you priced tap water recently? Its not that fucking expensive.

[–]catlicker9000 0 points1 point ago

airplanes...

[–]winediva 1 point2 points ago

As a 'count to 30' handwasher, I hate these too. And the part of the faucet where the water comes out (the spout?)... why is it always so close to the sink? Bring it out a little so we're not grazing the sink while washing our hands!

I understand old design, we must live with it, yada yada. But any establishments that install these new now are just evil. There's no other explanation because, well, sensor faucets!

[–]DaithiOMaolmhuaidh 0 points1 point ago

The tap will also be placed really far back so you cant actually fit your hands under it properly.

[–]ajlm 1 point2 points ago

As an addendum to this, I HATE it when faucets are so close to the back wall of the sink that you have to smash your hands against the sink to get any amount of water on them.

[–]s1wg4u 0 points1 point ago

OH YOU WANTED TO DRY YOUR HANDS QUICKLY WITH A PAPER TOWEL?

THAT'S JUST TOO BAD.

-Press once to wet hands then lather soap.

-Hold with right hand and rinse left hand.

-Hold with left hand and rinse right hand.

[–]omnichronos 1 point2 points ago

I get funny looks, but being flexible, I just hold it down with my foot and wash my hands at my leisure.

[–]The-Reverend-JT 0 points1 point ago

They're a pretty good water saving device though and there are too many wasteful people..

[–]Lamchester 0 points1 point ago

the ones in my area last 5 second

[–]Sustainabilist 0 points1 point ago

People are too dumb to save water by themselves. It's a sad fact.

[–]Amateur_Ninja 0 points1 point ago

I'm lucky to get more than 1.5 seconds in my school. Except when I turn away to grab a paper towel, when it goes for five seconds longer. ಠ_ಠ

[–]GlassGun -1 points0 points ago

It's actually one of the more hygienic tap designs there is, you don't have to touch it again AFTER you wash your hands and get the germs from before you do on them. You should only have to press it twice. Press> Wet Hands > Soap Lather > Press Again > Lather and Rinse. I prefer these in public restrooms. I get paranoid about pull doors in public rest rooms too because of the amount of people who either don't wash their hands or only wet them. If it's push you can just push the bottom with your foot. But pull I have to try and open it awkwardly where someone may have not touched it.

[–]ShouldHaveBeenThere 0 points1 point ago

Why don't public restrooms allow you to push your way out? This is universally backwards... There must be some explanation.

[–]morsecoderain 0 points1 point ago

Employees must wash hands. Good thing I'm not an employee.

[–]iEatWoofers -1 points0 points ago

Get hands wet -> soap em up (don't need running water for that) -> wash soap off. Pressing the damn thing twice should be enough. The water not wasted thanks to these is worth your petty whining.

[–]farkdog -1 points0 points ago

There are two problems with these devices:

  • as they wear out, they stay on for less and less time, until they won't stay on at all unless they are pressed down. You can get around this problem by wetting down one hand as you hold it down with the other, and vice versa, but then you get soap on the knob when it comes time to rinsing.

  • Rinsing the soap off almost always requires more water/time than the device allows (see first bullet point).

[–]LTxDuke 1 point2 points ago

I agree with this sentiment. As a person who works in the engineering field. You have no idea how much water these faucets save.

[–]Splashyfrogmonkey -2 points-1 points ago

My old school used to have a tape that u had to continue twisting it to wash your hands.

[–]Sokonomi -1 points0 points ago

I have sensor faucets. Best investment ever.

[–]darkrai9292 -1 points0 points ago

My school, which gets really pissed when you don't have the right shirt on for PE and which highly recommends hygiene has these faucets
