Paper towels, plus one for the door handle.
Also, why not doors you open with your foot?Or doors that swing outward so you can push with your elbow or shoulder or foot or something

Doors that open inwards push air into the room rather than drag it out and this contains smells better so i understand why they do it, but without foot pulls i am annoyed that my clean hands are immediately compromised by every filthy bastard that walks out without washing theirs
It’s a bad idea to slam a door into the face of a passerby on the hallway.
Most places I’ve seen bathrooms with outward opening doors have them set back in an alcove so that it’s not opening into a general walkway.
I loved the things they put to open doors with your feet during covid, just little metal nubs.
In the rare case I could catch one with the tread on my shoes, the door closing mechanism was too powerful to actually pull the stupid door open. If I have to lean into pulling it open with my hand, some friction surface for my toes isn’t going to work.
The crazy thing about doors you open with your foot is that premium areas like airport lounges have them. Like, rich people know they’re good, so they put them in spaces they go, but nah not for your average public facility enjoyer
My office building has the foot handles. It really does make the most sense.
Funny how we stop worrying about germs the second we’re out if the bathroom though.
i carry several in a jacket pocket, just in case
Doors you can nudge/pull with your feet: ❌
Doors that use touchless hand-wave sensors: ✅
My “favourite” ones are the Dyson ones where you have to do extra work by moving your hands up and down. Lol
I fucking hate those. The piss spreads everywhere. Terrible urinals.
I dont think i have ever managed to use one of those ‘dip your hands in’ style ones without touching one of the sides after the initial blast kicks in. I much prefer the air blade style where you put your palms and back of hands out in front of them.
I was working in a brand new building and the Dyson air blade hand dryers there were amazing! They were so powerful that you only had to put your hand in, have it turn on and it wiped the water off your hand as you pulled out.
I guess the awful ones haven’t been serviced like ever and aren’t strong or focused enough to do the job properly.
Not only do they not dry your hands well, they spread germs all over the place.
Wasn’t this shown to be biased info?
Paper towel companies literally funding research which paints hand dryers in a had light, or something like that
I would love to see a source for that.
Largely going off this video
Shows that there are studies funded by both sides to spread biased info. I won’t pretend I’m an expert on the subject tho
I mean if you properly cleaned your hands, the water should be clean? Right?
Yeah, but have you watched other people when they wash their hands? Some of them pretend to do it by turning the water on and not actually washing.

There’s currently a disinformation campaign happening between hand dryer and paper towel manufacturers and it is just the weirdest thing: [YT link]
Love that there’s no study in the neutral. Just a rebuttal sponsored by Dyson.
Honestly give a high school kid some sterile swabs and agar plates and they can fuggin tell us the real answer.
Probably for 1/1,000,000 of the budget too.
Publishing fees? You can publish it on this tri-fold poster board.
Paired with having to touch door handles to exit the restroom
They never completely dry my hands.
Rub them together while they’re under the air.
Hands flat, fingers spread, rub quickly hand-over-hand, but lightly!
And don’t even get me started on urinals.
I used one of those Dyson airblades at the airport once. The damn thing started blowing air mid-stream and I got pee all over!
recently visited london and omg why the hell do they have blowers in every toilet?! they SUCK! …no wait…i mean they BLOW!
I’m a fan of those foot things that exist in some places now to pull the door open. Though every time I use one, I fear for a moment that if someone enters the bathroom at the same time I’m leaving, I’ll fall on my face.
Does anyone remember the cloth towel thing where you shared all the germs of all the people who shit in that bathroom?
Top comment.
Couldn’t even tell you what that fabric was. Like sailing cloth.
I know of a bar that still has these. They were also the very last bar in the city to have a real jukebox with CDs. Honestly it’s a great place but the bathrooms are awful.
That sounds about right.
