Does anyone actually dry their face with these?

  1. With those you will be lucky to dry your hands. But in primary school it was common practice to swivel round the blower and blast your cheeks open

  2. No but it’s funny to flip it when someone else is using it 

  3. I thought it was for putting it under your t shirt so it blows up like a balloon. That’s what we did when we were kids. Never thought it had any other uses. Nobody tells me anything

  4. I watched Desperately Seeking Susan at an impressionable age so hands, face and then armpits.

  5. They are useful for drying your top if you spill you drink at the pub.

  6. How…they won’t even dry hands….you could put dry kilned logs under there and they would spring back to life

  7. Put off using them for anything for life after seeing some chavs gob in them at Grand Central Pool in Stockport, about 25 years ago!

  8. I see you are in the hand dryer museum, enjoying a bit of culture.

  9. No, because Madonna demonstrated you were meant to dry your pits with them, silly.

  10. At school flipping it up was done to see how far your spit would travel as you gobbed across it.

    Disgusting I fully agree… at the time however, hilarious I’m sure.

  11. Only after a particularly damp walk to school, but it was more so to attempt to dry my hair

  12. Don’t most hand dryers contain a bit of poo flecks in them? Don’t fancy a face full of poo flecks

  13. No, because I did Law at A-Level and an example case was someone who poured sulphuric acid into one of these and the person who went in after did this to their face. Whether true or not no idea but that was enough for me to never do that

  14. Are vent axia still in business? I remember when these replaced the green paper towels at me school lol!

  15. Funny that you mention that. I spend the entire night in my uni office writing and I didn’t have a towel after rinsing my face in the morning. The drier we have there is pretty intense. I squatted underneath. Not a pleasant experience but it worked (better than trying to dry my fave with 1ply toilet paper)

  16. I have seen a few people in gyms using them to dry hair over the years

  17. None of you have had a crying fit in the toilet at work and it shows.

  18. I thought it was for drying armpits/sweat patches. Oh well everyday is a school day

  19. It’s to blow away the evidence from around your nose before you left the toilets. 😉

  20. I think we all know it’s for after you spill food down your top

  21. No, because who washes their face in public bathrooms?

  22. No, because who washes their face in public bathrooms?

  23. It’s for drying your “undercarriage” actually. Some places have a hairdryer for the same reason.

  24. Hell no. Wife once tested people’s hands for bacteria before and after drying with one of these. The TLDR is that these things are basically bacteria blowers – don’t huff your face with one unless you enjoy exotic illnesses.

  25. Surely something has gone *very* wrong if you get your face wet when going to the toilet 😖⛲💦

  26. I used the ones in work to dry my shirt after spilling food on myself at least once a week

  27. Madonna used one in a movie and they should change the last name to axilla as a result

  28. As a beard owner and user, yes.

    I look absolutely mental with my lips flapping about, bent down, face to face with a hand dryer, but I’m not trying to return to work or the restaurant table with food in my beard, or an oddly moist face.

  29. It doesn’t say hand *or* face, so yes, of course: it’s compulsory to do both if you’re doing either.

  30. Yes, I have a beard. When eating sticky stuff or something like a corn on the cob you get food in it. I was my face in the sink and dry my beard with these.

  31. Dry no, but I have a condition that causes pain in my face when it gets cold, and these bad boys are IDEAL for warming your face quickly.
