- cardiffspaceman 6y agoOn cruise ships they have been working this out for a bit. There's a bin by the door. You grab the handle with your towel, put the towel in the bin while holding the door with your toe, and then exit. Ship's health propaganda points out that this will be the case.
- elf25 6y agonow you are outside the washroom. With a paper towel. trashcan is inside. What do you do with the paper towel?
- saagarjha 6y agoExcept for those bathrooms with hand dryers which are supposedly environmentally friendly and hygienic, and not like an easy way for the facilities to skimp out on paying for paper towels and their disposal. I have a suspicion that they are probably worse since they are high-wattage when actually used (instead of people just wiping their hands on their pants) and they blow germs everywhere, and if the Dyson ones really loud and accumulate nasty-looking water inside of them, but I have never been able to rigorously test this.
