I bought a set of keys for the most common ones, and when I run across paper towel dispensers that spit out the shortest length of paper with the longest delay, I pop them open and flip the switches to give the longest length of paper and shortest delay. And fix jams and misfeeds as well if I run across them.

Absolute legend

flip the switches

That's a thing‽ I just assumed that they did a fixed number of degrees of rotation per activation, so you got less paper as the roll depleted and the circumference got shorter.

It's got like 4 toggle switches, and for whatever reason they run on 4 D cell batteries

There are adjustable for just about every aspect of your interaction with it.

Good grief I sure hope whoever designed those knows what pi is

[–] Zess 7 points 7 months ago

Lol I do this with the one at work. You can usually open them with proper force or a multitool too.

The brown paper ones with the big pull down lever that gives you one sheet per pull are great. Everyone should do that.

How about a blow dryer that actually gives you more bacteria than you had before you washed your hands

[–] bus_factor 17 points 7 months ago

It is in fact often intentional. It's basically the same business model as printers. They make money from the refills, not the machine. Obviously people want to save money with generic paper, so they make sure the dispenser only works right with their paper.

What the dispenser manufacturer doesn't consider is that whoever orders the paper doesn't use the dispenser, so they don't give a shit whether the dispenser works well or not. In fact, it not dispensing well saves even more money on paper!

I once found an automatic paper towel dispenser that was truly incredible. I would pull off a paper towel and another one would start coming out immediately, like it was expedited delivery. So much better than those crappy motion sensors you have to wave your hand around. I was enamored by it. Some high quality shit right there. Wish I would've got a model number for you guys

[–] AnotherMadHatter 4 points 7 months ago

All (well, the two or 3 models we have at work) of the enMotion dispensers have that option. It's just a switch inside to leave one out or not.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Remember the one with the rotating cloth towel thing? Imagine how much filth they contained.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

But they are the most environmentally friendly. Once the whole spool is used you just swap in a different one and wash the used one and can reuse it

We could go back to the "infinite" hand towel found in gas stations of old.

The toilet paper dispenser at my job is at a slight angle so your phone falls off it while you are pooping, it's how I broke my last phone

[–] dingus 1 points 7 months ago

Ew...why are you putting phone on a public bathroom surface and not in your pocket??

hand blower manufacturers using arcane magic to create the weakest airflow known to mankind

seriously i don't get it, who in their right mind would think that having what i can only assume is a tiny gnome sit inside the machine furiously blowing at your hands with its tiny lungs would dry them?

Meanwhile i think it's the dyson ones, are actually good! Two jets of air on either side of your hands with such force that it feels like it's going to cut them off, dry within fucking SECONDS
