What's the actual reason for those super short faucets that barely reach the sink? All of the sinks at work are like that and it makes it impossible to wash your hands because there's nowhere for your hands to go.

I've always been curious about this as well. Every house I've lived in (older houses in the American South) has had those stubby little faucets and it can be quite inconvenient.

It would probably be against god's will if maintaining basic hygiene were easy, or something like that.

It's a very old design. Which means the faucet factory had the molds forever. There was no R&D costs or marketing involved. So there was probably a good long time when those were the cheapest faucets available.

Keeping the old design around could have a secondary benefit for the manufacturers. If that's the default design for working class people, then the status conscious will pay a premium for better faucets, even they don't actually cost much more to make.

Eventually they go away because their all metal design is more expensive than the cheapest modern partly plastic faucets manufactured overseas.

Just guessing, but it seems like a likely chain of events.

Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever!
When I'm faced with a double tap sink I usually wash my hands really fast under the hot so I finish before it starts burning. It is, however, the worst if I have to wash my face in one and there's no plug.

I hate public hand dryers that blow super hot air really slowly: your hands get burnt and remain wet! Dyson Airblades only thanks.

Yeah let me dry my hands by carefully maneuvering my hands in a venturi tunnel lined with everyone else's snot and piss water.

Dyson airblades loving rule because your hands are dry in 20 seconds, who loving cares about some airborne viruses or whatever. Someone sneezing at you in the tram is more likely to make you sick. Embrace technology.

Basically everything in public is nasty as all hell(how many sick people have sneezed on those grocery shelves? Or the card reader screen at the checkout?), but somehow people aren't getting sick in droves. You'd probably pick up just as much, if not more, disease by opening the bathroom door without using a towel as a barrier.

If you're that scared of germs, then feel free to be one of those people who Purells their hands whenever they're in the general vicinity of something that other people touched.

The main difference there is that none of those are good environments for germs. Anything with water on it that isn't too hot or too cold is though.

I wish dress gloves would come back into fashion. While you're out shopping or whatever all the stuff you touch never touches your skin. The glove themselves are dry, so they aren't a great host for germs.



Maybe those boss veil hats too. If someone sneezes in your face some of the snot cloud will get stuck on your veil instead of going right into your eye.


Lifehack: dress like an old fashioned lady to beat cold season. Even if you are a dude.

When I first read your statement I thought you were full of poo poo because traditional thinking tends to be "the hotter the better" regarding hand washing.

Hotter is better, as long as by hotter you mean boiling or near boiling. Immerse yourself in boiling water for at least 5 minutes and many of the surface germs on your body will die. Side effects may include all your skin sloughing off, and death, but by god you'll be clean.

A nice quick dip in the pools at Yellowstone will solve all your problems.

Here in the Netherlands many "bathrooms" (which are just closets with a toilet and tiny sink in them) only have cold water in said tiny sink. Presumably this is because the Dutch are a very cheap people and won't splash out for having hot water in their sinks. People don't seem to get more colds, but I personally find it disgusting so I wash my pisshands in the kitchen sink were there is hot water.

Cutting it lengthwise, when most folks cut along the equator, as it were. Vertical lines are slimming! :downs:

I've never thought about whether it actually works as advertised, but it does seem that lemons I roll around are easier to juice than lemons I don't. Leakier upon cutting, yes, but not terribly so.
