Public Bathrooms: Paper towel or air dryer???

ETA: Not sure what just happened, my post posted before I hit post!!!

anyway, there was supposed to be an other!

I hate air dryers!!! and I also hate those cloth towel things that you're supposed to pull down...I guess I just don't get it...where does the dirty towel go? Do you eventually use the same towel someone else did???

Definitely paper towel! I saw a 20/20 segment about how bacteria grows in the air dryers.

I know that it is bad for the trees, but paper towels for me.

I feel like a fool standing there drying. It stays wet under my rings as well and I hate that. I need paper.

I HATE hand dryers! They're so awful and I cant help feeling that they're unsanitary!

but that's why they've created them because they're supposed to be more sanitary than the paper towels!!!

Re: Public Bathrooms: Paper towel or air dryer???

Paper towels, because I am not a fan of the clammy cold afterglow of air-dryers.

Re: Public Bathrooms: Paper towel or air dryer???

That towel thing that hangs down and rotates through just scares me! It seems like it would be a haven for bacteria and gross stuff. I would dry my hands on just about anything else before using that!

yeah, and not only that...once you air dry your hands...what do you do?? you pull/push the dirty door handle/knob to leave!! only to feel like you have to wash your hands all over again!! that's why I prefer paper towels...i use it when I pull/push the door open to leave...
