Drying your hands: Hot Air or Paper???

[mdr55]

I'm for all saving the environment and everything. But the one thing I can barely tolerate is when you go to public/restaurant/etc. bathrooms and they don't have paper towels to dry your hands after washing. Sure I use the "Hot Air" machine dryer ("it's environmentally safe") but my hands never get dry enough for my satisfaction and if you're in a rush, I usually wipe my hands by the sides of my pants after using the Hot Air blower. If I have to, I might go to the stall to now and then to grab a string of toilet paper to wipe my hands dry but its not the same as paper towels.

How bout you????

the hot air thing has always disgusted me. I always want paper from the roll.

I've never been in a restroom where the hot air blower was working. So it's paper towels by default.

Paper towels!! They get my hands dryer and after you use them you can save them for making little paper towel villages in your backyard! As for the environment aspect of it, who needs trees, anyway except 'dem birds but fuck 'em, they'll just have to learn to live in bus stations like the rest of us!!

Paper all the way, baby!
Besides the damned hot air blowers not working, they drown out the sounds of my farts.

I like to dry my hands off with a paper towel, then use the hot air.

Like I have time to waste using the hot air...I go with paper. Though if you just split a drink on you the hot air does help some.

It always looked to me like the hot air thing, and this was as a kid: I thought it was some magic hand-cleaner that didn't use water.

You know the Beam? The Ray? Ron's been talking about it for years. The Beam advertised in every sci-fi movie and magazine since the 1950s and before: the Beam that's supposed to have been here by 2004 to Beam you food around, beam the dirt off your clothes, beam the dingleberries off your azz etc. Tractor Beam would be nice too; except for the misuse in bars... anyway...

I thought it was the Beam! Hey the old guys didn;t look like they were Drying their hands under the things; they looked like they were Washing them: ya know, rubbing the hands together in the motions.

Always used paper towels for the same reason many use paper towels but have forgotten. In school, remember? School was so f-ing boring you had to make an Art of going to the 'Boys Room.' An expert could easily take 15 minutes and have every excuse in the world for the teacher. Anyway the paper towels and toilet paper were ritual, man. You had the crumpled up towel, and Game On!

From just seeing if you can sink it from 10 feet to 30 foot shots across a classroom when a sub was subbing; throwing paper, food, classmates around has been an Art since toddler-hood.

Paper is ideal. the hot air never works. after i use the hot air i end up wiping my hands on my pants


Who Shot who in the what now?

[SatCam]

me and my friend used to go into the bathroom with the automated flush and walk by them so they'd all flush at the same time. We'd also keep hitting the hot air and we'd see how long we could get it going without out it stopping.

Good times.

please sorry for bad spell im us ilectric enlish dictinary to write

[Arienette]

i kinda like the hot air, if i have the time to stand there waiting for it to do its thing. especially in the winter, my hands get very dry after i wash them. the paper towels only make that worse. the hot air, if used long enough, leaves my hands much softer, dryer, and warmer than a paper towel would. i wish i had one at home so that i could dry them like that all the time.

[more cowbells]

Any hotair machine that I ran into would only blow out cool air..never "hot"air so my hands will never dry. Paper towels for me.
What's annoying about paper towels is have you ever went to a restaurant and they have the foldable ones in the dispensers? If you grab one, it's only enough to piss you off so you grab a good pinch and wind up grabbing too much that you either have to leave it on the dispenser, or on the sink for someone else.

makes sense


how about the 'crank' one and you start cranking and nothing comes out... so you see a little bit of the edge hanging out and you delicately try to pull it while slowly turning the little star wheel on the under/inside. and you wind up with a 1/2 inch sqaure piece of towel in your hand...

Paper. The hot air always takes way too long, and it never completely dries your hands. You end up wiping them on your shirt or your pants.

Now you're just being greedy.

The restaurant where I used to work had one of those. I used a wad of toilet paper to dry my hands before I used that petri dish of a device.

Those towel rings aren't "rings" of a towel going around and around. They have two spools of towel, one where the clean is, and one to wind up the dirty towel after its been used. I have no problem with using them. Work better than paper towels and I suspect that they are better for the environment than either paper or air.

And the secret with the air dryers? You have to actually rub your hands together. They work fine. Just not as expedient as paper towels.

[JustJon]

I do rub my hands... maniacally as I rant about my plans to dominate the world... but it takes two or three presses at least to get the job done. Who has that kind of time?

I don't like the brown paper towels that are made of Wood Chips. I can't stand to touch them, and they do not absorb that much.

You should stop washing your hands on the set of "This Old House," then.

i really have to disagree with everyone who says that the hot air dryer thing doesnt dry well or completely. if you give it enough time (and i do understand that, sometimes, you just can't wait), the hot air dries you hands far better than paper towels do.

Uhm, because it IS dirty? I mean who spins the machine to a clean section of towel AFTER they've used it??

[TheMojoPin]

There's rarely a clean to section to spin it to, dammit! The things are flawed in that they're good for like a couple of hours a day, tops. Unless it's changed a couple times a day, it's just a filth-magnet.

You're a dirty, dirty girl.
