Airport restrooms

Airports jangle the nerves at the best of times so why is it that every damned airport corporation seems to have somebody dedicated to the task of finding creative ways to make it worse. It's no wonder frequent flyers turn to drink. In the Melbourne domestic terminal they have even taken the step of installing vidscreens and speakers in the handryers with the entirely predictable result that people now avoid drying their hands lest the be visually assaulted with some idiotic government propoganda. To the legion of marketing guru's out there who think this and other similarly invasive ad techniques are a good idea I have a request, give us a fucking break. We are just trying to get to our next destination and we don't want to hear about your product as the price we have to pay for taking a piss. While I'm on the subject, to the toilet attendents in Dubai, you guys do realise that one of your KPI's is actually getting the sewerage out of the building, not flooding the building with it? Just a heads up there...
