in our building there is a key to the restrooms (i hate that). and in our office there are several keys with a big plastic thing attached to them, so people will not forget to return them (though i sometimes take one these keys to lunch with me..)

today when i went to the restrooms i saw another guy from the office opening the door with a key from his personal key-chain. he said he got disgusted by the idea of people touching the "public" key, so he just went and had duplicated a key for himself.

i "thanked" him for opening my eyes to the issue..

later i came across this story about a revolutionary automatic tissue dispenser.

they claim most people will be satisfied with 5 sheets.. must have been a great assignment to conduct the market research for this.

whatever. saving the trees is not the big thing here. this is probably the best day in the lives of many clean-freaks. i bet that for these people the launch of this device will dwarf the arrival of iPhone.

i know at least one guy that is likely to buy one for home use..
