This might be the dumbest invention in history. Who ever uses these deserves to be kicked in the nuts.

What about the piss and pubes that get wiped on the start button. You had to hit it with your elbow to avoid your hands touching the germ infested button. The new ones are better as you don't have to touch anything to get them started.

I've only used that Dyson once and it dried my hands, could care less about the noise, those old crappy ones never dried my hands and this one is hands free.

and it's usually cold water as well.

If there is no paper towels I use my pants to dry my hands, I hate air dryers, but I don't even know why.

How the heck do you end up with piss and pubes on your hands after using the Dyson one? I agree that its no huge improvement over a good motion-activated hands dryers, but... piss and pubes? Are you using the ones where those "THIS IS NOT A URINAL" signs had to be put up? Or in some drunken trance you attempted to dry your hands in a urinal?
Unless you've got wrists like Charlie Brown's Xmas tree, you should be able to counter the force of the air blowing and not have your hands ping ponging back and forth hitting the walls of the dryer - which, should not be covered with pee, feces, or pubic hairs unless somebody was using it to somehow dry their ass or style their pubes with it beforehand.

I'm not getting the hate for the Dyson and the Xcelerator. I like touchless paper towel dispensers best because you can also use the towel to open the door after, but these machines are okay too. They're loud and also scare my kids, but my hands are dry really quickly without having to touch anything, which is four million times better than the old style of air dryers.

I like the Dyson Airblades and Xcelerators. Finally something that actually gets your hands dry.
Paper towels get your hands mostly dry, but usually you have too use way too much paper to do so.
Old Handdryers? Were they actually intended to dry hands? Sorry, I don't have 5 minutes to stand there.

How would you even attack that? From the side? You'd have to be pretty damn drunk.

I would pay large amounts of money to see what happened if someone tried to do it from the top, and had the blower trigger on while they were midstream.\
Would be like this (image a bit big):

Bestbuy doesn't give commission though that doesn't change the whole no to warranty thing all that much.

My office is on the main street in my community so there is lots of foot traffic. I didn't mind the beer bottle sitting outside my door this morning, but I'm guessing the trail of piss on the sidewalk was from the beer drinker. Seriously?

Why can't you just say "no thanks" and be done with it?
When I picked up my soundbar on Boxing day the dude asked me twice. Both times I declined. He was about to ask a third time and I said "listen, I don't want your warranty. So you can either ring this through or I'll just go to another Future Shop."
Simple as that. Just put your foot down, ffs.

Your first reason is also why I regret buying a condo, but for the opposite reason. I'm not allowed a dog over 50 lbs in here.
And these fees are not for repairs, they are for a legal battle with a former owner who is accusing them of corruption and stealing money.
