Dont get mad at the bathroom remodeler

On the plus side, you know if someone didn’t wash their hands, since you can hear the dryer on the entire floor.

No, you only know if someone didn’t DRY their hands. I wash my hands every time I go to the bathroom, but will go without any drying if all they have is those abominable air dryers.

Though one time I encountered a completely different type of dryer. I think it was made by Dyson (yes those vacuum cleaner weirdos). It looked different, so I said what the hey and tried it. It actually seemed to work, but I’ve yet to come across another. I suspect they must cost more than those awful ones that don’t work.

I assume you mean The Airblade? You see those not too uncommonly around here. They do seem to work pretty well, indeed.

Will you be responsible for refilling them when the bacon runs out?

One of my favorite jokes from The Fella. I once printed out about ten ‘Press button–receive bacon’ stickers on a label maker and gave them to him to carry around in his wallet to put on dryers. Over the years, I think that was the best thing I ever gave him. (You know, besides the ‘adult’ things;) )

I miss those tall urinals that used to be common when I was a kid- the ones that looked like bathtubs up against the wall.

We have AirBlades at my office. They do actually work. But the price to pay is that you’ll probably lose your hearing.

A plumber I know did a business bathroom remodel and ended up with a coin-op tampon machine. He installed it in his home bathroom as a novelty item. Gets comments.

I thought those cigarettes were a bit mild.

The Airblade does seem to work pretty well, and manages to not be obnoxiously loud.

Unfortunately a few years ago our workplace bathrooms were refitted with Excel hand dryers, which are absolutely deafening. I brought in an SPL meter a while back and measured the bathroom noise level at 96 dB when someone was using one of them. Paper towels are still available, but fuck, I can’t even stand to be in the room when someone else is using one of those dryers to blast water off of their hands.

Yeah, that’s what I want - the one size fits all heights model, wraparound design catches stray droplets, minimal/no floor space intrusion, anything that gets on the floor anyway just drains right in on top of the little blue cake thingy …
