Newer suggestion is to flick the water into the sink before toweling.

Yep, people should deffo flick water off more often. I watched a TEDx talk about how to completely dry your hands with a single shitty paper towel, and one of the key points the dude made was to flick as much water off as possible before touching a towel. I think he said to flick down into the sink 12-15 times, but I might be wrong. I don't do everything the guy said, but the flicking part is great.

EDIT: this is the talk: https://youtu.be/2FMBSblpcrc

You guys do realize this was all a metaphor right

I mean, yeah, but why talk about the metaphor when we can eagerly share hand washing strategies‽
