Automatic faucets seem to be more trouble than convenience. You stand there waving your hands around like an idiot, not quite sure where the magical invisible sensor area is. Like the picture above, you can usually see where the actual sensor is, but most times putting your hands there doesn't trigger anything.
Recently I've had the following situation happen to me, more than once ---> I move my hands around impatiently to trigger the water until finally it comes on. Then I hold my hands under the soap dispenser and wait a few seconds. Nothing. I look around, bend down, try to find the sensor... nothing. Oh, wait. Is this a normal soap dispenser?! You can't throw me off like that! So then I actually have to push the soap thingy myself, and then go back to setting of the automatic water sensor to rinse them off. That doesn't seem fair to confuse a person like that. You can't mix automatic and manual!
Then, if you're lucky, you have a normal paper towel machine and get to take as much as you need to actually dry your hands. I'm not a fan of automatic paper towel machines because A) they give you like 1/4 of what you actually need to dry your hands, and B) they're usually "out of order" and you stand there waving your hands around until you realize it's a red light flashing instead of a green light... aka... there are no paper towels coming your way. Boo! Wipe them on your pants.
Sooo... all in all, automatic anything in the bathroom really throws me off. Don't get me started on automatic toilets. Not a fan of them either. But I'm sure for all you germ-a-phobes, you really appreciate the new technology. As for me-- bring on the germs. I like the old way better. :)
