What do you do with the hand dryers? Use toilet paper to turn on/off the water? Although generally a place with no touch hand dryers also have no touch sinks.

I use my elbow to turn on the hand dryer.I always turn on the water when i first walk in the bathroom, if the sink is automatic then great. If there is a hand dryer and instead of paper towel then I use my elbow to turn the water off. For situations where it is all automatic I keep spare napkins in my back pocket to use on the handle of bathroom doors.

So I was at a Rutgers-Harvard game once, wearing my Rutgers sweater of course, and I went to the men's room during halftime. A Harvard man was also using the facility, and gave me a sneer upon noticing my sweater. After finishing my business I was about the leave the restroom. The Harvard man haughtily intoned "At Harvard, we wash our hands before leaving the restroom". To which I replied, "Well at Rutgers we don't **** on our hands!"

I was kicking the sides of my cradle when I first heard that one.
It has been repeated--ad infinitum, ad nauseum--for decades, with every possible college name inserted into the joke.

Obviously it's best for people to wash their hands after using the toilet. Shaming people who don't is not the right way to handle it.

so how do you impose change?

when people get angry and stick together you have change....so, shaming someone a little bit is a lot better then spreading germs and possibly putting someone in the hospital

and teaching your kids to do so is an even better possibility....

my God, to hell with me for shaming someone for doing something wrong....and even believing they are right?

Put pressure on the businesses to place simple signs in their restrooms educating patrons on the health benefits of hand washing.
