I’m just wondering if I am the only one that misses having paper towels in a public washroom.

I seem to recall that the first time I used one of those “World Hand Dryers” I thought it was kind of neat but it sure took a long time to dry my hands.

Now they are everywhere and no public washrooms use paper towels anymore.

I liked being able to wash my hands then grab a paper towel on the way out and use it to turn the knob and push the washroom door open as I left.

I was able to completely dry my hands in the couple of seconds it took to walk to the door, and my hands always felt cleaner after drying them with a paper towel knowing that I might pick up some little germie friends turning the water off after washing them and maybe the paper towel would clean them off.

I find now I tend to just shake off some water on the wall or floor then wipe a few drips off on my pants as I back into the door opening it with my body with my hands in the air like a surgeon (always hoping that I don’t have to turn a knob to get out).

I know that operating a hand dryer is cheaper than paper towels and that paper towels need to be stocked and cleaned up and emptied occasionally but I think the overall hygiene has gone down the toilet of most public washrooms that have cheaped out with hand dryers especially when you have to turn a knob to open the door.

Just Thinkin.
