Public bathrooms are the worst--a necessary evil that harbors a ton of germs and DNA that's better left unknown. But when it comes to making sure your hands are free of any disease you may have picked up, you have no option but to wash in the provided sink, and use the soap (hopefully) that's in the dispenser. And when it comes to drying your hands the choices are hand dryers and paper towels. However, the question is: Which method is healthier for you?

Personally, I prefer the paper towel. I can ensure my hands are pretty dry, and then I use the paper towel to grab the handle on the door upon exiting. Why? Because it's pretty much a guarantee that some moron is still living in caveman mode and hasn't evolved to society's level of hygiene.

The hand dryer is too loud for my sensitive ears, and quite honestly, they don't provide the level of dryness that I prefer.

How about you?
