First of all, this idea popped into my head way before the glut of toilet threads swept across the FF. That being said, when you walk into your local restaurant bathroom, park "restroom facility", or school "BOYS"/"GIRLS", which kind of sink do you prefer when it's hand-washing time?

I like automatic sinks in theory, but the water is usually about 200 degrees, and the sensors are still pretty poor quality. H and C knobs are good if there's a paper towel dispenser nearby.

What I really want are those sinks that you turn on with foot pedals. If a bathroom had those sinks, plus motion-sensing paper towel dispensers, plus either doors that push out from the inside or a long winding doorless hallway, then I could actually get clean.

One of the schools I used to go to had the automatic sinks and they worked pretty well. The auto-flushing toilets on the other hand...

I like the H&C handles because I can control the temperature.  I always wash with frigid water.

What can I say? The old Hot and Cold handle allows you to change the temperature, and allows the water to pour out as long as you want.

Yeah, I have to say I "dislike" automatic sinks. Seriously. We were even more advanced before that! Just because you don't have touch any knobs, doesn't make it any better. It gave me less control over how I wanted to wash my hands.

Why do I find this post funny? I was being completely serious.

I actually wasn't even sure whether I should have added the "Good old-fashioned "H" and "C" handles." option, because... well... do you ever even really see those in many public bathrooms anymore? At least at the places I've been, they're pretty rare (probably for convinience and to discourage vandalism).

A movie theater I go to sometimes still has them, and my old school had them (and still does, as far as I know).

Lots of places have sinks with knobs. I would prefer not to touch anything but water, myself.
That was a joke.

It's cool and useful, but I still prefer temperature control and not having a "time limit" making me restart the sink all over again for more water.

I love the concept of "restart the sink".
