Just use the paper towel you used to dry your hands to open the door

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 109 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

This is an additional reason I hate places that use air driers instead of paper towels

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 43 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

after you've peed on your hands, open the door, then quickly wash your hands and run out. the wind will dry your hands.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 16 points 4 weeks ago

Why the unnecessary steps? Just pee on the door handle.

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 13 points 4 weeks ago

Me waiting someone to come in, so i can get out.

I’ve noticed a lot of places now have a trash can conveniently located by the door for this.

Just move the bin yourself. They’ll get the hint without extra work.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

And some places are smart and put a garbage can by the door, for the reason.

[–] klugerama@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

If the trash is not close enough to the door, that paper towel goes on the floor. I know it's a bit rude, but every public restroom should have it close enough to do this.

[–] whelk@retrolemmy.com 6 points 4 weeks ago

I've settled into a routine of pulling the door open with the paper towel, flinging the paper towel into the nearest trashcan, and darting out quick enough without having to keep the door open with my foot or anything. Not necessary, but fun
