But I do have to commend Chicago's O'Hare Airport. They designed it in a way such that if you're trying to connect to a different flight, you have to run all the way from one end of the airport to the other. Never fails!! It's like running in the middle of the Mong Kok...where everyone is trying to connect to their flight. Rumbling, bumbling, stumbling....enough with the sarcasm.
The highlight of O'Hare International falls not on their eateries, their location, their peculiar way of placing terminals...but in their bathrooms. Ah yes....the ultimate fortress of solitude where one can regain what's left of one's self-dignity after going through a security check.
What's so good about O'Hare's bathroom? Well...for one, 2/3 of the essential handwashing elements are automated. The faucet is automated. SCORE! The soap is automated. DOUBLE SCORE!! But their paper towel dispenser is not! WHAMMY!!! C'mon Chicago...you've spent the money already...might as well spend a little more and be completely sanitary!
Another plus of O'Hare's bathroom are their toilet seats. This could be a plus or a HUUUUUUUUUGE minus....but the cowboy hats (the term I use for the paper thingy you sit on) is automated! Instead of having to do the customary "Pull up-pull down" to launch a cowboy hat, you wave a hand across a sensor to automatically replace the seat covering, hereafter referred to as the CURRENT SITUATION. And it's not a cowboy hate, oh-no. They have elected to use this plastic tubing that slides ontop of the seat. The CURRENT SITUATION, slides into a housing behind the toilet, disappearing to who knows where. And a NEW SITUATION comes out to replace the CURRENT SITUATION. Of course, one can't help but think, "Are they using the same plastic tubing over and over again??"
Thought provoking, it is...
Anyhoo...professor moved one of my two midterms to the week after. WOOHOO!!!
