OT: Hand-Dryer or paper-towels ?

"Bathroom hand dryers spread more germs that paper."

Paper Towels. Quicker, thorough (for me), reasonably hygienic.

Choices

1. Paper towels

2. Hand dryer

3. My jeans*

• as in just my fucking luck, the hand dryer isn't working or they're out of paper towels.

The best is to not piss on your hands. :)

I have little use for any of the hand driers with the exception of the Dyson brand - those are really effective!

I like being able to use a paper towel to open the door handle. Too many unhygienic pigs who go straight from dick to door knob.

The Starbucks hand-dryers are pretty-good, they blow some strong air

Shadowcat, urine is sterile so technically you only need to wash if you defecate, if you want to be technical. ;)

Urine is sterile, the urethra and penis are not

And I think Shadowcat was referring to the old joke about "a soldier, a sailor, and a marine go into the bathroom...?

OK. Urine is sterile but if you piss on your hands, you're still going to need to dry them. :)

Check out this Islamic shit

Paper towels for reason gammanu mentioned. Too many filthy pigs going straight from urinal and stall to door handle, without a stop at the sink in between.

Papi, the only difference between you and I is you wash your hands after you take a piss and i wash my hands before taking a piss!

We're officially run out of things to discuss. Shut the place down, @Founder.

What's the matter, RM? Too sissy to discuss bodily fluids?

Paper towels

^^ Sure it's a favorite topic for you and your fellow nurses at the convalescent home, @Gamma.

Hard-core physical sciences for me. I could never be a doctor.

paper towels. They are faster and good to know my germs won't spread as bad as with dryers. Though Dyson is the man as that is SUPER effective...and only found in high end places. Like my job ^_^

Hand dryer. I'm completely helpless with paper towels if there isn't an attendant to hand them to me.

Shadow, of course. I'm one of those hygiene weirdos who washes his hands before he touches himself and after I'm done. Only seems fair.

I like paper towels. I can use them for other purposes like wiping sweat off my forehead, opening up doors when I know some other guys didn't wash their hands. Unfortunately I know someone at work has been assigned a cost saving project to replace paper towels with bow dryers. I guess I can bring my own and put a couple in my pocket. It's not that expensive in my opinion. Much quicker too.

LOL Chandler

Either one is fine with me. The issue i see is some of the dives i visit don't have either in their men's rooms. Cheap lazy club owners!

There's one place in Chicago that I used to go to that had that old loop cloth towel setup. I hated that thing. More often than not I'd try to remember to grab some drink napkins from the bar in my way to the bathroom.

A cloth towel handed to you by the bathroom attendant. You don't see this any more except in high end hotels and restaurants.

Oh, those infinite rotating cloth hoop towel things. Often found in oily blue collar shops like truck maintenance garages and the like. Those are definitely a place were you want no open sores or cuts. Such fun things like The Plague or Jungle Rot or other 3rd world nasties can be found in places like that.

jackslash - I've seen that at Follies on a Sunday afternoon.

Cloth towels handed to you by the bathroom attendant is fairly common down-here in South FL clubs, it's what they do at Tootsies for example

In general strip clubs seem to have the strongest blow dryers out there. I am not ashamed to admit I've used them to dry more than my hands!

the latest dysons are really good. and no chance of touching the device.
