Honest question: Have you tried just vigorously shaking your hands and then letting them air dry? It only takes a couple minutes. Worth the wait to still have clean hands.


Honest question: is there anything about my comment or profile that suggests I’m open to receiving hygiene suggestions from a complete stranger on the internet? It’s not like I don’t know how to have clean hands, just saying.

It's probably that you're participating online in a discussion about hand-dryers, and, by proxy, washing your hands -- and expressing your disinterest in using them (hand dryers) .

It might even be the fact that you've said that you considered not washing your hands all together when posed with no alternative -- a danger to others besides yourself.

I find your tone to be entirely unwarranted and rude.

'Just saying.'


Actually, it was the part where you stated you considered not washing your hands? And I was honestly asking because most people don't realize how quickly human skin dries. I hate air driers also, but I generally don't use paper towels anymore either unless I'm planning on needing dry hands within a minute of leaving the restroom.

Or, hey, we could go with your interpretation that I'm a raging asshole that thinks you don't know how to wash your hands. Whatever floats your boat.


Sorry. I assumed I was being trolled and reacted accordingly.

I was being ever so slightly hyperbolic in my statement about not washing hands. For the record, I do use the time-honored air-dry, shake-hands-vigorously and/or dry-on-pants methods when circumstances demand.
