This is a good plan if you don't mind flicking water all over your shirt and pants. And if you've gone that far you might as well be a hero, wipe your hands on your clothes and be done with it.

Progressive thinking at its finest.>> ^entr0py:

Yeah, I either use 1 or 0. Shaking your hands off gets it mostly dry, and then 1 towel if you're crazy. I can't stand the people I work with who do 4-5. Retards.

Are electric hand-dryers that rare in the US?

So the people that go to the bathroom and leave without washing their hands, they're just being environmentally conservative..

Working ones are...they treat them as bathroom wall art>> ^FlowersInHisHair:

That infuriates me every time I go home. Paper towels are an idiotic way to dry your hands.

A good article on Electric Hand Dryers vs. Paper Towels... here. Conclusion : Electric dryer wins but single towel might go ex equo.

"Next year, toilet paper."

Yeah.. No. I'm not shaking my ass twelve times and using one sheet of toilet paper. I want that bitch CLEAN!

They're definitely not rare in California and Colorado; but they're almost always really crappy ones that just make a lot of noise and don't do a thing to dry your hands.

We need more of those crazy Airblade ones. Those dry your hands like the world is going to end if your hands aren't dried immediately.

If someone were to have told me yesterday that today I'd be spending nearly 5 minutes watching a video of someone drying their hands over and over again, I would have called them mad.

...Yet, here I am.

I even upvoted. Fancy that.

This is a good idea.

And I'll use paper towels any day before any electric dryer. They never satisfy me, even the airblade ones. That said, I usually justify my use (of my single towel, take that TED), by blowing my nose with it afterwards.

Add my vote to the amazement that paper towel dispensers are still around. The airblade ones are awesome, and if you can't get 'satisfied' by using one of those, I'm not sure what the hell you want from your hand drying experience?

How about shake, wipe shirt.

How many times does he do this demo a year? Just by stopping this demo we could save a lot.

Hell if I am wearing crappy clothes, I'll just dry my hands on the back of my shirt after vainly attempting to use an electric drier. I think I've used one electric drier in my life that actually dried my hands in under 30 seconds. After 30-45 seconds I give up and move on, my clothes will probably dry faster if I wipe my hands on them than if I stood there trying to use that machine. And if you shake your hands dry, you end up with water drops all over you....like when you try to use a sink that is screwed up and sprays every which way. Looks like you spent your time pissing all over yourself either way, which is rather annoying.

Only reason I use more than one or two paper towels is because the dispenser is so screwed up you end up pulling out a wad of them instead of one, and feeding them back in is worse than just throwing them away...because no one is going to use them if you lay them out. So take the extra with you, or toss them. I prefer the rolls where you can crank it a couple times and rip off your paper towel. The old cloth rolling "towels" were nasty, would never use those....because you know someone did something to it...people are assholes.
