New poll: how do you prefer to dry your hands in public restrooms?

Just something I got thinking about while I was washing my hands just now. This is the kind of deep stuff I think about all the time. Really, I should be in some kind of think tank where they observe people's brainwaves to figure out how they think of such brilliant things. It'd probably have to be a government-sponsored think tank because my thought patterns could be a threat if they fell into the wrong hands. That's how radically advanced and ground-breaking they are. Seriously, the power I hold between my ears could revolutionize the world.

Also, I forgot to put on deodorant this morning.

  1. I saw the "public restrooms" part of this post first and I wondered if you were going to talk about people who talk on their cell phones in the restroom. I think that is just so weird. (I had an experience with that yesterday, which is why it is on my mind.)

  3. Erin - Interesting you should mention that. We have a lot of that going on in the bathrooms in our building. In fact, I should write about that sometime.

    Minty - You obviously dwell in much posher public places than I.

  4. This made me think of how much I DON'T like drying my hands on that really long wound up cloth that rotates around in it's dispenser, somehow magically cleaning itself for the next user. GROSS!

  5. By the way, you never said which method you prefer.

    As for me, I will admit that I am slightly OCD (ok, quite a lot OCD) when it comes to public restrooms. I have to leave the water running, get a paper towel, then turn the water off with the paper towel. I also have to open the bathroom door with the paper towel as well... It's just gross to think about all the germs swarming there.

    Although, changing a diaper doesn't bother me too much anymore. I guess it's all just part of becoming a mom.

  6. Thanks to everyone for your comments.

    Liz - I didn't mention my preference because I don't want to skew the results of this highly scientific survey.

  7. I like the automatic paper towel dispensers. Then you don't have to touch some slimy lever to get the towels out. I also flush the toilet with my foot, cause I figure it's the dirtiest thing in the whole place. Does anyone else do that or am I just weird?

  8. I prefer the automatic paper towel dispensers too.

    Liz Barnes it's good to know I'm not the only bathroom freak! My visits to the restroom are exactly like yours!

    Nasty, stinky, dirty pttttuh! I hate public restrooms! Although, they beat the alternative almost every time!
