Another year older, but still amused by the small things

I don't really feel any different, but I've probably said that every year with the exception of my 16th and 21st birthday. Wednesday was my birthday so John took me out to dinner at Charleston's. The food was very good, I'd suggest it to anyone who wanted to try someplace new. Before we left the restaurant, I went in to use the restroom. As I was leaving, I noticed something on the wall by the door. There was a motion sensor installed next to the door called Sanidoor. So, I waved at it and the door automatically opened so I didn't have to touch it. I really wanted to get a picture, but I didn't think it would be very appropriate to grab my camera at the table and head back into the bathroom. I found a sketch of one (below) online though.

I was amused that a place would spend money on something like this. Wouldn't it be easier to put a trash can right by the door or just design the place so the bathroom doors opened out? I never did understand why you could push to walk into bathrooms and then you were required to touch the handle to exit the bathroom, especially after all those studies about germs and statistics regarding the number of people who don't wash their hands. Oh well, I'm content to wave at the motion sensor and laugh a little I guess.
