I shake my hands 12 times and use a paper towel folded in half after a very enthusiastic presentation from our HR department on how to cut down on using paper towels. Lorrrrd, the things people worry about at work... |

I shake my hands off if I washed at the kitchen sink, because I have to turn around and take a couple steps to get to the towel to dry, and if in the space of that couple steps I encounter one of the cats, and a drop of water falls off my hands and lands on them they FREAK OUT.

I feel like a dodged a bullet.

I had to go wash my hands to see. There are no paper towels in our work restroom, so I wash, shake into the sink, pat my pants, then air dry. Who knew?

Same for me in public restrooms. I have no reason to shake them at home as the towels are right there. My hand towels are too but I don't like to even get a few drops on my counter as I reach for the towel. I don't even realize I'm doing that quick flick of my fingers before I reach for my towel. No counter, pedestal sink 
Galley kitchen, pedestal sink, people are going to think I live in a box soon!

Gosh. This isn't something that I can get worked up about at all. Well don't you worry, sister, because I've got enough worked up for us both.  Seriously though, consider yourself lucky that you either: A) Don't have anyone in your life that makes it rain every time they wash their hands. B) Are chill enough to not notice all the water spots left by said raining. I have no chill. |

As a nurse I was taught not to do that when washing hands. So I don't. I also don't have hand towels in the bathrooms. Every bathroom in my house has paper towels. My kids were taught not to and my husband learned not to under pain of death and my yelling! LOL I have had guests asked where the towel is and I tell them use the paper towels, its more sanitary. And they look at me like I am weird. I want to tell them don't shake, but I think that my be pushing it!

Maybe a boy thing? My sons do this, especially the older one. Then the floor has drops and I like umm what is that is it water? pee? a little of both? I do not know why they do this.  eta: we always have clean hand towels in the bathroom and also paper towels in the kitchen |

I started doing this after seeing a Ted talk just to see if it works and it does so I kept it up! But at home I just use the towel right there so it's not necessary. |

I’m a flicker in the sink. And if there is no towel near by I’ll flick the rest on our cat if he’s near by, don’t know why that’s become a thing, but I guess it’s the way I pay him back for meowing at 5am. Total same. |

If it annoys you start shaking your toothbrush after you are done brushing. Maybe flick the bristles a little during brushing. In other words, male a bigger mess and see how he feels about it.

I don’t shake them at home but I do slightly shake them 4-5 times over the sink in public restrooms to get off the excess water since it makes blow drying your hands faster (and restroom paper towels are not as absorbent as home hand towels)

My hands no. But when in a bathroom with NO towels I flick my fingers in the sink to try to get the drips off before going to the dryer which is always 8-10 feet away for some reason. If everyone dropped for the long walk the floors would be soaked in no time
Personally I prefer a towel and to pay my hands dry. I hate blowers. Most of them don’t really work & my hands are wet anyway and now I’ve probably re termed my hands blowing germs back on them. And they are still wet.
I often keep a small microfiber in my pocket but I sometimes forget.

No. Just drip until wipe.
