That is all.
I’m just glad these germy monstrosities are mostly gone.
The blow-dryers are way better! They blast all the germs right into the air for everybody to enjoy, even those who wipe their hands on their pants.
the new ones at wm here aren’t even heated, they just blast the air extra super hard instead.
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
Here, having no doors is pretty common in the few places that have gender separated bathrooms like big malls. They just have an S or 90 degree shaped entrance.
The toilet “stalls” themselves are often small rooms with floor to ceiling walls and doors.
Edit: added “Here,” I apparently only thought that I wrote it instead of doing it.
The s shaped entrance is a lot more expensive to construct and consumes more space, so I understand them being very rare. But a simple foot thing is so easy to attach, why is it also rare?
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.
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.
My “favourite” ones are the Dyson ones where you have to do extra work by moving your hands up and down. Lol
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
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?
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.
