Why is it that more often than not, paper towel dispensers in restrooms are installed well above the level of the sink?
What happens then? You wash your hands and have to reach upwards to get a towel causing water to run up your forearms, possibly getting your sleeves wet.
It seems so simple, just install them at the same height as the sink. Not only does it solve the above problem but it also puts them within easier reach of people with disabilities. Done.
Ps. I’m aware that sometimes it’s a space issue and they’re installed over the sinks because that’s the only place they’ll fit but that is not always the case.

I have found myself in the habit of getting my paper towel before I ever wash my hands.
I loathe hand dryers, as I believe they blow around diseases I’m afraid I might inhale.

I also hate when the trash can is nowhere near the door, as I use the p.t. to open the filthy door handle and need to deposit it as I hold the door open with my foot.
