Pet peeve: Faucet
We can put men on the moon but we cannot seem to design a faucet in aircraft toilets that can be used to wash both hands at the same time and doesn't splash water all over the place.
The faucets seem to be designed by the same person who designed the internal power connectors used in PCs.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Seinfeld has a funny routine about airport faucets (on I'm Telling You for the Last Time) -- he calls them "**** spring-loaded Alcatraz-style faucets." Very funny! 
Also a bit about airplane bathrooms.
Those airport faucets at ORD that use movement detectors or something are completely incompetent as well. You spend 5 minutes waving at the sensor and if it actually senses something, by the time you start to rinse it turns off. Argh!!

"What do you mean you didn't get miles for that?!"

One of the funniest TV Programs about Airport Faucets was Candid Camera. They hooked the sink faucets in an Airport so that they could be controlled by one of their people. So that when someone tried to use the one with the sensor, the sink next to them would start flowing. One poor guy was trying to wash his hands and all of the other sinks, Except his, came on. When he went to another sink, the same thing happened.
Quite good.
