Yep, people should deffo flick water off more often. I watched a TEDx talk about how to completely dry your hands with a single shitty paper towel, and one of the key points the dude made was to flick as much water off as possible before touching a towel. I think he said to flick down into the sink 12-15 times, but I might be wrong. I don't do everything the guy said, but the flicking part is great.

EDIT: this is the talk: https://youtu.be/2FMBSblpcrc

You guys do realize this was all a metaphor right

[-] Badabinski@kbin.earth 3 points 2 months ago

I mean, yeah, but why talk about the metaphor when we can eagerly share hand washing strategies‽

This talk ruined me, because now I can perfectly dry my hands with one towel but have to stand there watching some schmuck pull 15 and pat his mitts down for two seconds before chucking the whole wad.
