As a follow-up to my recent rant about women being disgusting slobs in public restrooms (while bashing men, who in my albeit-limited experience are actually cleaner), can I just say that hand-washing is SO important, yet I see way too many women who skip over it. Then you get the ones who do wash their hands, but don’t bother to turn off the faucet all the way, wipe up the water they splash around, or throw out their paper towels. Why do you act like that? You wouldn’t do that in a family member’s bathroom or a friend’s, so why is a public restroom fair game?
Anyway, when it comes to hand washing options in public restrooms, I’m not picky about automatic or manual soap dispensers or faucets, but I do prefer hand dryers over paper towel dispensers. Paper towel dispensers seem to encourage sloppiness, and half of the time they’re empty, so I then have to shake my hands around or wipe them on my pants (wet handprints on your butt, always an attractive look!). Besides, hand dryers are better for the environment, since there are no paper products to waste. 
It’s weird how many people live like slobs. Seeing how people treat public restrooms is a peek at those lifestyles. Ever see Verminators? Holy cats!
Of course, handy dryers are the good options but some folks treat like an uneducated person in a public restrooms as you said in the article
