Are air hand dryers more hygienic?

I notice it looks like more and more often people are now opening the restroom doors to exit using the paper towel in their hand to avoid touching the door handle.

LOL. That would be me!

I grab a fresh towel to open the door after washing my hands, then hold the door with my foot (shoe) when possible...then throw the towel away.
When that's not possible, I use my left hand pinky and open the door from the least likely part of the handle to get touched by the masses. Upper inside part normally :D

Too funny. If I end up with nothing on me to use I will use my opposite hand(LH) and my pinky just enough to get my foot in there cause some of these FN doors weigh a ton when trying to open them like that!!
 
The pinky thing must be common to most people. I do the same thing. Not only on bathroom doors, but gas station doors, etc. Then, as if this magically cleans off the germs, i wipe my pinky on my pant leg.

You must have been watching me exit. My protocol exactly!
 
Working in construction, there used to be some south of the border types that stood on the lid and squatted. Their aim was not precise. It seems that most of the workers have learned the American way of porta-potty use the last few years.

Yep, i've seen that on many job sites, when i was bangin tin. They leave mud from their boots on the tank too. UGH !
I've also seen where they piss in showers on top of the plumbers test balls. And then when the air is released from them, it atomizes, sending a stench through the whole building.
 
I like the airport setup, no doors at all, just a little maze of left and right turns. And at the airport, I wash my hands before and after.
 
I was doing a school job years ago and had set a closet in the Principals office rest room. It did not have a flush valve yet installed. Next morning I found a "present" in the bowl. The ******** also liked to piss in the mop sinks. Too lazy to walk outside.
Seriously, all those germs keep your immune system up to snuff.

Too funny I saw a name give a RED X that I never saw before... He didn't like my joke about the NSF sticker. He must like the mold that is literally dripping down the side of the machine and coating your hands with it when used...
 
Never mind the friggen air dryers are screaming loud! Huh? No wonder why I can't hear well any more.
 
Some of the A&W's here in Ontario, have foot control door opener's,so they do exist,



And, for the people that do not sit on a toilet, Yup, they have no idea what a toilet is, back home, they use nothing more than a hole in the floor, and toilet paper, yeah right......

I don't think anyone buys that "Honest honey I got the clap from a toilet seat" nowadays.

Man are there ever a bunch of mentally paranoid, germophobic, Howard Hughes runnin around the world today! **** happens people, then you die, you worry to much!!!
 
Those of us in construction use the porta potties & there isn't any wash sinks there. We all survived and didn't catch any cooties. Only recently have some started putting a waterless hand cleaner dispenser in them.
 
Wash your hands, dry them if available towels, open door, pull hand sanitizer from pocket and clean again, I think it’s a good process IMHO
