Just installed an automatic paper towel dispenser in the downstairs half bath-
room.

"Why?"

My 8 year old son's hand-drying routine includes removing the hand towel from the rack thingy and putting it on the floor when he's done. There was *never* a towel in there for me to dry my hands. I had to walk to the kitchen. Every. Single. Time.

I tried using binder clips to keep the towel in place on the rack, and that sort of worked. A towel would stay on the rack for a full day instead of 20 seconds.

But... The final straw was me noticing how often both my kids wipe their snotty noses with the same towels I dry my hands with. Hint: It's a lot.

Sure, having a towel dispenser in a residential bathroom is tacky, but at least I can dry my hands now without getting sick.
