Paper Towels

Where I work, there are paper towel dispensers in the washrooms. Every day I cringe as my co-workers step up to one and whip out three, four, five towel sheets in rapid fire. Fwvwhoop Fwvwhoop Fwvwhoop Fwvwhoop Fwvwhoop! Then they clap their hands together a couple times and deposit the 90% unused mass of paper in the trash (usually - that's a separate rant for another day).

I'm no bleeding heart tree hugger but I hate inefficiency and waste. If you commonly find yourself in washrooms with paper towels, I beg you to try this: Take one sheet. One. Use the !@#$ out of it. It will be thoroughly soaked, and your hands, if they're at all like mine, will be about 80% dry. OK, take one more sheet. The second sheet will completely dry your hands. Grand total: Two sheets. Hands: completely dry. Thank you.
