In Japan, where bathrooms are clean beyond your imagination, there are no paper towels or drying machines for hands after you wash them in public bathrooms. Kate explained that after a terrorist group used trash bins to plant sarin gas bombs in the 1990s the country's solution was to remove all the trash bins. So also, no paper towels. You are expected to bring your own towel and keep it on your person until you get home again, since there are also no trash cans anywhere else in public. Or select one of the options you listed in your very funny commentary. You are, however, supplied a little tissue and antiseptic solution to scrub the public toilet after you use it. So one part of your body stays very clean and dry. And I suppose you could use the dryer supplied by the toilet if you forget your hand towel. Be forewarned before you travel, Will!
Ah, civilization and its malcontents! Yet another instance of man's inhumanity to man, or woman. There's something uniquely irresponsible about not providing the basic amenities of modern life: especially those related to hygiene (since cleanliness is next to godliness). I blame our liberal, anything goes attitude towards responsibility. Perhaps, the basic curriculum in our schools needs to be revised to include bathroom care and maintenance? Do we need Potty Police to instill a proper sense of nobless oblige in our citizens? Today the towels, tomorrow the T.P. Grrrr!
I am from Kansas too. But I can't stand an air dryer. Mainly because, how does it help dry your face!!!!?? Maybe your nose if it's long enough and you can stick it in there, but hopefully no one's there watching.
I usually carry Kleenex in my pocket so when confronted with no place to dry my hands, I use the Kleenex in my pocket and then leave it strategically placed next to the sink when I exit. Hopefully the message will be received.
Amazing timing here. I just dealt with this frustrating issue last weekend while visiting a friend's place for the first time. Decided to dab (not dry) my wet hands on a used shower towel, then finished the job with the flailing-hands technique. Not my proudest moment, but also come on bathrooms need hand towels!
You lost me at the “ no pants “ opening
I'm one of thse hand-shaking guys. And if I'm feeling particularly frisky, I might even do jazz hands.
i run my hands through my hair. feels nice and i come out looking fresh. turning that frown upside down.
😂😂😂😂—you are your Dad’s son! Me, I am from Kansas! Towels are like napkins; optional! 👊
