    And then they go and make an idiotic bathroom hand air dryer that is vertical and unnatural to dip hands into and too small of an opening so as to be difficult to not touch it with your clean hands.

      Haven’t these been shown to be literally the proverbial shit hitting the fan in terms of spreading bacterial matter everywhere?

        Yes they literally pull in particles from the bathroom air and blow them directly on your hands.

          Plus a good chunk of people only wash hands for show: the water runs for 1 sec it barely touches their fingertips, then go on to these dryers and whatever is on their hands flies out everywhere.

      They released that original Airblade hand drying 18 years ago in 2006 way before the hair dryer.

      11 years ago In 2013 they released the Airblade V which doesn’t do the vertical dip thing.

        Well, I see the old one 99 times more often than the new one.

        I’m talking about this piece of crap design.
