That specific Dyson shown in the picture is pretty legit, insofar as it really dries your hands quickly.

But that stupid air blade one, where you have to stick your hands in between the space is retarded.

Huh. I love them. A slow 10 second sweep from wrist to fingertips and they're perfectly dry. I've never heard anyone else that likes them though.

I can never get my hands right in the middle and invariably touch the sides, thus requiring me to wash my hands again.

I don't have that problem, which is odd because I have pretty unsteady steady hands usually. Now, this is a completely serious question. If you re-wash if you touch the dryer, how do you get out of the bathroom without touching the handles on the doors given they always swing inwards ?

That's why I like paper towels vs all this air dryer nonsense.

Btw, if you shake your hands for 5 seconds after washing, you can dry them with a single sheet of even the thinnest, crappiest towel. The trick is to fold it in half a few times first, so it can absorb more liquid without tearing. Then simply use it afterwards to open the door, hold the door with your foot, turn and toss the towel into the trash. Voila.

That's my fav. I've also developed a technique for opening doors with my elbows. I don't suffer from OCD, I see it more as a challenge. I shudder to think about these things from the perspective of someone who takes this stuff more seriously.

Does the same apply to cheap toilet paper? we get some awful cheap and nasty stuff over here and you don't want your finger going through it.

Pull a few feet off the roll and wad it up into a ball! It's their fault for supplying cheap toilet paper. (The slightly more expensive 2 and 4 ply stuff is actually cheaper in the long run, since you can use less. Nobody ever does the math.)

I heard the air blades actually flick germs all over the washroom.

They are sort of fun though.

I guess if you are drying wet and germ ridden hands then yeah they would. I thought the whole point was to wash your hands so they were clean first though.
