5 Reasons Restrooms Should Have Paper Towels

It drives me crazy when a public restroom that has hand dryers instead of paper towels.
I know I've talked about this a couple of times, but I decided to bring up a few more reasons I think bathrooms should have paper towels instead of hand dryers. So, I'm listing 5 solid reasons here:
1. The first reason should be pretty obvious. I want DRY HANDS. I don't know about you, but I've used dryers more times than I can count, but I don't think I've ever been able to actually dry my hands with a blower. They simply don't work. Every time I use one, I leave the room with wet hands.
2. I like to wash my face whenever I'm in the bathroom, and one of the most frustrating things is to wash you face only to discover there are no paper towels to dry it off. It's hard enough trying to dry your hands with a blower, but it's completely impossible to dry your face.
3. Paper towels not only dry your hands, but they also help you clean them. Every time you rub a towel on your hands, you are also rubbing off additional soap and grime.
4. Most of us consider it a good idea to wash your hands before you leave the bathroom. Unfortunately, some people, especially children, are complete pigs and they don't even look at the sink on their way out. Just moments before these model citizens grab that door handle, they had their hands on their junk, and some have touched even more disgusting things. For this reason, I always hold on to my paper towel so I can use it to grab the door handle.
5. Lastly, paper towels are MUCH faster than blowers. There's no contest here. Within a few seconds 5 guys can walk up to a dispenser, grab a couple of paper towels and dry their hands. If the same 5 guys tried to use a dryer they would have to wait their turn as each one took their turn ATTEMPTING to dry their hands (see #1).
Don't think for a minute that a public bathroom without paper towels is a noble thing that's doing their part for the environment. That's a bunch of nonsense. They're just cheap.
