Hot air dryers are havens for bacteria. By using those you're actually blasting your hands with toasty-warm bacteria then spreading them around as you rub your hands together, thus negating the washing. The best option is to allow your hands to dry naturally, but admittedly that's rarely practical so, where possible, opt for the paper towels.

I think people (men and women alike) must be worried that someone coming out of the loo with wet hands would be looked upon as gross. And whilst wet hands are potentially an indication of something really disgusting having occurred in the loo, I would think that most people exiting the loo with wet hands had just washed them. And we should be grateful for that. Anyone who exits the loo with completely dry hands should definitely <strong>NOT</strong> be allowed to help themselves to the nachos, fries or poppers order that just arrived at the table for us to share.

Do they believe that by showing the germs the water they will leap off, lemming-like, into the sink? I'm not sure whether these people would use soap even if it were directly in front of their noses given that they appear to be worried about getting their hands too wet. If they put soap on they would need to actually wash to get it off again. I have to fight the urge to yell at the people who just dip their fingers under the running tap in lieu of handwashing.
