Air dryers are also known to be unhygienic. Paper towels are much better. The only reason for not having them is cost and convenience (for the toilet owner).

And you shouldn't have to touch a door handle after washing your hands.

Really it just needs no door at all and a chicane type wall to keep people happy that are worried about being able to see in to some tiled flooring from the foodcourt.

i still see people not washing their hands after going to the toilet.

and why does almost every toilet door open inwards? you are forced to use the door handle after washing your hands.

I will usually push the opener sideways with my forearm to make the door open a bit and then use my foot to pull it to avoid touchign the handle. So many places have a handle that is so worn out that its thru the nickel or whatever plating into the base metal below it, looking all porous and pitted and gross and they dont replace it too. Good luck cleaning that well.

Or you can get one of these, more generally known as a "touch tool". If you are paying extra for a brass one, make sure you're getting a genuine brass one and not anodised alu or brass-plated white metal or similar, which... oh, about 100% of the ones from China are. The link above is to a genuine solidly-made brass one.

Chaotic Evil: Open and hold the door with your boot before washing your hands.

... Paper towels are much better. ...

Only if the person servicin the bathrooms has put them in so that the $*&%^# things dispense easily. Maybe I'm just unlucky but I frequently can't get easily get one out of the dispenser meaning I have to jemmy my dirty wet fingers up into it to unjam and then 78 of them come out at the same time.... This annoys me.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Nice one, hope it all works out. I haven't used the site myself but keep hearing good things about it. Someone I know got their house built through it.

Job recruiters that use text like this in ad:

"..., work close to home with a suitable location within the CBD fringe!" (Auckland)

they forgot to use this disclaimer ", but hey let's be real: You probably don't live next door, so expect a painful Auckland commute to an industrial park, with only a McDonald's nearby."

The stupid trustpower adverts about the guy crashing into the back of the girl he used to know. Come on. This ad was made for INSURANCE. I don't know why it irritates me enough to change the channel every time, but it does! First world problems perhaps
