Environmentalism!
I finally found something that Slovenians rush through that Americans are wise enough to savor: going to the bathroom. The faculty-only bathroom here on the fourth floor has motion censors to save power, which is of course not that unusual in the U.S. What is unusual here is the amount of time you have to sit still. Here's a picture of the stopwatch I set from lights on to lights off:
FORTY ONE SECONDS! You get 41 seconds to sit on the toilet and read or check your email or play scrabble on your phone before it is time to sit in the dark or get out. I'm all for environmentalism, but come on!

That's why the top minds at Apple created a light-up screen.
ReplyDeleteHow much motion does it take to restart the lights?
ReplyDeleteThe 41 Second Bathroom Stop is genius!!! You open the door; you go in; you do your business quickly; and then you leave. Isn't this exactly how we suggest our dogs behave on a cold snowy winter night?
ReplyDeleteCome on, Ben - Reading in the toilet with the lights on makes you weak!
