I hate it when the paper towel dispensers won't give you enough paper towel. My hands are wet, man! Don't be stingy with the dry stuff. In Singapore, they refuse to dry their hands after washing them. I'm serious; every single person in the University would wash his hands, fix his hair, and walk straight out the door with his hands soaking wet. I feel like, if you're leaving the bathroom where you've just been holding your pen----->is, you don't want to be seen with dripping wet hands. This apparently doesn't affect them, however, and it leaves those of us with a dry-hand preference being forced to grab a napkin to open the soaking wet door handle, like I was some sort of OCD nut or something.He has highlighted a very serious and important hygiene problem. I think I have to admit it is quite a common sight to see wet door handles in many public toilets.
Sometimes after answering each call of nature, washing my hands is a definite chore. Most times I'll dry my hands with a toilet paper or use the dryer. Sometimes I'll just use the good old Levi's. Yes, I'm not a very hygiene person also! But most of the time (90% I should say), with my hands dried, I'll encounter wet door handles upon exiting. So being a not so hygiene person, I'll still open it with my dry hands. Then my hands will be wet again. So what you think I'll do next? Right! Wipe my hands on my good old Levi's.
But seriously how to overcome this toilet etiquette? It'll be difficult task.
i encounter this all the time... juz try ur best to use a single finger on the driest looking part to open the door, if not juz wait someone else open the door and u slip out.

Fwah power sia! Yi Yang Zhi isit?
ReplyDeleteI do not really mind the wet door handle. I'm just concerned about what the wet stuff consists of. Some people lay their paws on the door knob immediately after pee-ing, without even take a look at the washing basin. The same animals who eat their pee. Those unhygenic sickos.
ReplyDeleteyes, common in female loo too... I'm like Ah 9, looking for a dry spot, or wait for someone to open the door. Great minds think alike ;)
ReplyDeleteThose wet door handles are pretty irritating. It's like I take all the effort to dry my hands after washing and now I come across a wet door handle.
ReplyDeletePrecisely zen|th. I encounter this everytime. Should make auto-doors.
ReplyDeletei see this all the time and its normally because the hand dryers are either old and useless or there arent enough of the decent ones (like the Dyson) so people rush and still have wet hands after using them and when they touch the door handle. They should even install a load of decent dryers or install one of those new hygiene door handles which clean your hands. According to the company website www.purehold.co.uk - as you open the door it dispensers alcoholic hand gel into your hands which you then rub together to clean them. i cant wait to try these - should have been invented years ago.
