    When you're in the bathroom drying your hands do you hurry things along if someones behind you.

    People tend to get awful impatient when you're drying your hands.

    If you dont wash your hands then you don't need to use the hand dryer... simple

    No.

    If there is a bath in the room, it is called a bathroom. If not it can be called a lot of things. W.C, Restroom, Toilets, etc but not a frikken bathroom.

    It's a lot worse when you wash your hands, then find that the dryer doesn't work and there are no towels. When you decide not to dry them on your trousers, you walk out and everybody thinks that you've pissed all over your hands.:eek:

    Washroom is generally the term if it's public. Bathroom tends to be used at home. Toilets is seen as not particularly polite, much more colloquial.

    Restroom, in a public setting, makes just as little sense. It's not like you're going in there to relax and listen to your favourite chillout tune while perusing the Daily.. unless you're the bastard who loves to take way too long in the stall. :pac:

    Move to one side and help each other dry our hands. Feels good man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    It takes five seconds to dry your hands, Anything more and ill introduce his face to the dryer, Okay maybe i need patience...:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I hate hand dryers, your hands feel damp afterwards and it takes ages longer than drying them with tissue. Also I read somewhere that it stimulates bacteria on your hands or something, although I could have made that up

    I like those fast dyson dryers. I can think of a few things i would like to dry in one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 987 ✭✭✭diverdriver


    That's the great thing about internet forums. Someone always discusses something you thought of but never would speak of. Yes I do hurry up but probably from the male point of view that toilets are dodgy places to be escaped from quickly. To answer your question, yes I do hurry because the man behind could be impatient, have a nasty temper and carry a knife!:eek: Yes I am paranoid. But Ross Mahon proves I could have a point.:D

    I hate hand dryers but if I have a choice I use one of those Dyson air blades. The name is scary and you always feel that you're going to lose your hands but they work. And it's quick.

    your not supposed to use hair dryers because of all the bacteria and fungai - use paper towles


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,591 ✭✭✭✭Aidric


    I sometimes use it to dry the piss off my pants as well. I don't mind the looks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,833 ✭✭✭✭Armin_Tamzarian


    I wouldn't hurry, you may as well stay until the job's done,
    otherwise what's the point.

    On a more interesting note, why do we go to 'The Jacks'?
    Is the term a result of some pathetic one-upmanship of the the British slag term 'The John' or where did it originate from?

    Bacteria doesn't stick to towels? Really i don't understand the argument and i've been using hand dryers for years and i haven't died yet.

    The body needs bacteria to strengthen the immune system to fight against colds etc.

    I think it's a shortened version of 'Jackeen'

    which would make sense

    This should've been a multi option poll.. I voted no but would've liked to say the third option too;)

    Anyway I don't hurry

    Hand Dryer?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    I like the ones where you can turn the nozzle upwards and dry your hair like Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan... can be awkward if it's one of those motion sensor ones though.

    depends what they are looking to dry.

    If someone is waiting to use the hand dryer behind me I will usually flip that sucker upside down so the air is shooting up and I'd put my mouth over it so my cheeks start flapping as if I was sky diving. I will continue to do this until the person leaves in disgust
