When delivery people have you sign that little LCD... it's useless, I think.

Instead, they should have you spit in it to record your DNA.

Totally hands-free public washrooms... sensor activated sinks and towel dispensers are bullshit if you have to grab a door handle and pull to exit the washroom.

Why should you even use your hands...why not just have robot pants that unzip and whip it out for you?

To add, what about when you try to get in and someone has used the dead bolt... whats going on in there anyway...

Just use the towel to open the door ... the bacteria/viruses can't penetrate even a wet paper towel fast enough to infect you with a large enogh innoculum to overcome a normal immune system. Just don't wipe your nose with it after exiting.

HEY! This isn't an invention discussion thread. Post up your invention ideas and keep your opinions/advice to yourselves!

Don't make me lock this thread!

Better yet, robot pants that you just do your business in and they recycle the liquid waste into a tasty beverage and the solid into a snack.

I think you may be describing the Mars Astronaut flight suit ...

Vise-grips, zip ties and 5-minute epoxy have already been invented. Not much left.

It is GETTING RID of the towel after you have opened the door that is the challenge. In my favourite private retreat about town, I open the door using the towel on the handle, remove my hand with the towel from the handle while propping the door with my foot and and execute a sort of backwards layup shot into the trash. It is a roomy retreat, and the towel, even wet, is just short of a good lobbing mass. Possibly I should travel with disposable (?) lead weights, especially for those retreats with the swing tops on the trash receptacle.

Lead is classed as a hazardous material and is not "disposable" in the fashion you want.

Something biodegradable, cheap, non-spoiling, and less likely to break a mirror or someone's nose if your shot goes astray is called-for.

I suggest a few dried kidney beans. You can keep a handful in your pocket, and the damp paper towel should let you form an impromptu beanbag -- perfect for a game of "short toss."

disposable hands!!!

I just throw the towel on the floor and refuse to let their defective design burden me with either germs or a semi-soggy paper towel.

ROFL. Barring the invention coming to fruition, I have a contingency plan.

An internet connected head-up display for my vehicle, so I can check the traffic report web sites to find out there is really no traffic jam that I've been in for 30 minutes.

So can I, but I want a head up display for it.
