content: That specific Dyson shown in the picture is pretty legit, insofar as it really dries your hands quickly.But that stupid air blade one, where you have to stick your hands in between the space is retarded.

content: I can never get my hands right in the middle and invariably touch the sides, thus requiring me to wash my hands again.

content: Quote from: made2hack on November 09, 2016, 01:33:39 pmI don't have that problem, which is odd because I have pretty unsteady steady hands usually. Now, this is a completely serious question. If you re-wash if you touch the dryer, how do you get out of the bathroom without touching the handles on the doors given they always swing inwards ?

content: Quote from: BradC on November 10, 2016, 05:53:57 amThat's why I like paper towels vs all this air dryer nonsense.Btw, if you shake your hands for 5 seconds after washing, you can dry them with a single sheet of even the thinnest, crappiest towel. The trick is to fold it in half a few times first, so it can absorb more liquid without tearing. Then simply use it afterwards to open the door, hold the door with your foot, turn and toss the towel into the trash. Voila.

content: Quote from: timb on November 10, 2016, 09:09:51 amThat's my fav. I've also developed a technique for opening doors with my elbows. I don't suffer from OCD, I see it more as a challenge. I shudder to think about these things from the perspective of someone who takes this stuff more seriously.

(The slightly more expensive 2 and 4 ply stuff is actually cheaper in the long run, since you can use less. Nobody ever does the math.)

content: I heard the air blades actually flick germs all over the washroom.They are sort of fun though.
