    oh gawd.. i exchange into at my old extreme college the different day (niece had cheerleader camp) and there exchange into an illustration next to the hand dryer some snotty woman made that mentioned something approximately how plenty harm to the ozone turning it on ordinary in simple terms as quickly as (the females apparently turn them on just to conceal the sound of them peeing) and how in the event that they might recover from their insecurities they might give up destroying the planet. i threw the sign interior the trash, the sign could have been written somewhat greater tastefully. i neglect the stats they used in spite of the undeniable fact that it variety of feels that the two way you bypass you will kill the planet. you're the two killing the trees and we can have not have been given any air to respire, or you will expend the ozone and who's conscious what is going to ensue while it is long previous. i say have the two, there are dryers which will activate in case your palms are under them and stale as quickly as your palms are not. -much less wasteful. and then there are those ridiculous paper towel machines that have a sensor and it gives you 4 inches of freaking paper, and in spite of the fact that in case you wave your hand in front of it back it won't supply you greater paper. -much less wasteful. EDIT: thank you cool, i do no longer think of i'm going to ever use a dryer back. i'm an entire germaphobe.

    Wow, you really have a thing for hand washing and all that it relates to, dont you?

    Well, my opinion is no. I think that the hand dryers are a much better way to wash your hands, loud or not. I mean come on, it is loud, but why do you need to hear in public restrooms...?

    Save some trees dude.

    Yes. Except the new U shaped ones where you pull your hands through :]

    oh yes i do,

    although they can be helpful,

    for my sister was embarrased to be heard in the bathroom,

    and i saved her by pressing the button!

    with my friend at "ripley's belive it or not,"

    when we, in the restroom, parted,

    i saw a shiny red button that i HAD to press,

    and all of a sudden she farted.

    yes, I find public bathrooms awkward too

  • Well they're good because they help the environment and but...

    They are annoying...Sometimes they stay on way too long or not long enough...Or they don't dry your hands at all.

    :D

    Yes! Especially those new ones - they are so loud. I do not think the government has rated them for their decibel level. I am sure they could make my ears bleed!

    Mind you, they do cover 'fluffs' nicely :)

    No, not at all. It's better than having paper towels all over the floor.
