Welcome to Kevin's English Room Podcast.
Hello.
ハンドドライヤーの問題
I want to ask you how you use the hand dryer, the hand blow dryer in the bathroom, the public bathroom.
Oh, okay, okay.
Because I have never been able to successfully dry my hand with one blow.
Yeah.
You know how they automatically stop blowing?
Yes.
After a certain amount of time.
Yes.
I am 60% wet.
Yes.
Still.
Yes.
So I have to do it multiple times.
Yeah.
Like to get it fully dry, I have to do it about like three or four blows.
Yeah.
What the hell are you supposed to do in there?
How do you do it?
I don't know.
Are you in the same situation as I am?
Yes.
But I don't do three, four times.
Like two, three.
So maybe less than what you do, but basically in the same situation.
Yeah.
It's impossible that you do this for and then done.
Yeah.
You're wet.
Yes.
I know.
Yeah.
I mean, yeah.
Usually I do like twice and then I sort of like air dry it after that.
Right, right, right.
I feel like that's faster somehow, but like, yeah.
But to fully get it off, like when I have like time to kill, I would go for that four or five spin.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's when I fully get it dry.
How is your hand?
So my technique to get it a little bit quicker.
Oh, okay.
I want to know that.
So you would put your hand in, right?
Yeah.
But you would bend your fingers like L-shaped so that it would, yeah.
So you have your air flowing from the side, right?
So you'd have all the air flowing through your fingers like this.
Oh, I see.
Get what I'm saying?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you're-
Horizontal way.
The horizontal, yeah, horizontally.
I see, I see, I see.
The sort of the air flows through your fingers.
Oh, okay.
It's faster that way.
I recommend you do it.
Oh, I'll just try that.
Yeah.
Or like sort of like crawl your fingers so that right here, you'd have like a hit point here,
like really good like efficiency point right here.
Yeah.
It's faster that way.
I want to try that.
You want to try that?
Yeah, yeah.
What I do is like, so I thought the machine is like, it's like, you know, there are like,
I don't know, it's like when you go to the car wash machine, you have like,
like a mop thing.
ハンドドライヤーの使用法
Spinning mop.
Yeah, you go, the car goes in between.
Yes.
And then they're going to wipe your car.
Yeah.
I thought that's like the same function.
It's, they dries up your hand, not when they like blowing your hands, but when you,
when you pull your hands out, it's like.
I see.
You're not evaporating it.
You're sort of like moving it.
Yeah.
And then they kind of wipe, is what I was thinking.
I see, I see.
So I've never tried like that, like those things, but what I do is just do this multiple times.
Pull in and out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
To sort of let it flow down.
Yeah, yeah.
But if I like fully pull out, the machine's going to stop.
So I just pull out like this and then put it in again.
You'd have like a centimeter of finger left in there.
Not let them stop.
Yeah.
That's smart.
And that's what I do.
Oh, that's smart.
But still, it's not perfect way.
It's still.
It's still kind of stressful.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's also stressful when you accidentally hit the wall and it's nasty.
I really, I have to wash my hands again.
If that happens, I would wash my hands again.
Like if you accidentally, if you accidentally touch the bottom of the fucking, that's a
nightmare.
I don't know how many germs are in that fucking shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's a terrible feeling.
Terrible.
I wash my hands again.
Yeah.
If I slightly touch.
I know it's a terrible feeling.
I know.
And like, I hate it when you have to pull the door open to get out of the bathroom right
after you wash your hands.
Like the door handle that has so much fucking germs on there.
I don't want, I just sanitize my hand.
Why would I touch it?
I would.
Terrible.
100% agree with that.
Yeah.
And there are those type of sky type of types of guys that doesn't care much about your
hands.
Yeah.
They're okay with their wedding wet, wet hands and they just, they, they, they use their
wet hands and just grab the thing and then just open the door.
I know.
So when, when I completely made my hands and just try to go without, it's wet.
It's wet.
And I don't want to touch that.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
So you start using your pinky.
トイレの不便さ
Yes.
You start using the back of your pinky to sort of squeeze in like a little bit of gap
and then you use your feet.
Yeah.
I do that.
I do that too.
Yeah.
That's a, that's a, that's a problem that has to be fixed.
Yes.
Yes.
You know?
Yes.
Yeah.
So if it's like open that way, I can use your body.
Right.
You can use your body to open it.
Right.
So much better.
That's better.
Yeah.
That would, that's, that's, that's a, you know, that's a, yeah.
It's, that's true.
It's a design flaw.
Yes.
Yes.
Yeah.
I agree.
One hundred percent.
I agree with that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, I agree.
Agree.
I feel so bad.
I feel terrible if, if the doorknob is wet and just accidentally touch that and open
the door.
Fuck.
It feels like your hand has gotten like the dirtiest.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Before you, even before you walked into the bathroom, it's gotten more like dirtier than
that, you know?
I agree.
Yeah.
I agree.
It's, I guess after everybody washed their hands, even though their hands are wet, it's,
it's not that dirty, I guess, because after they washed their hands.
True.
Yeah.
But still, I don't know why, but somehow I feel that's the.
Yeah.
The dirtiest.
Nothing's worse than like feeling somebody's moisture, you know?
Yeah.
Feeling somebody's moisture is like, that's the worst kind of like feeling you can get.
Yeah.
That's terrible.
Yeah.
I also don't like when I sit down in the train and your ass is warm, like you have a warm
seat.
I don't like that.
You don't like that.
How about that?
You don't like it or not?
I think I would say rather okay.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
I don't feel that dirtiness compared to like the bathroom thing.
I would, oh, it's warm, but it's kind of okay.
It's kind of okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't like that?
Like if there were like not many people in the train, I would change seats.
I would move to a different seat.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What I don't like about being in a train is like when you try to use your tsurikawa and
grab that, and then it's kind of oily a little bit.
Yes.
Some of the tsurikawa, right?
ハンドドライヤーの効果
It has oil on it.
It does.
And then sometimes I want to grab that like metal pole and just try to grab that, but
I see some fingerprints.
Yeah.
That's true.
Yeah.
That's true.
I don't like them.
You know, it's true.
You know how a lot of times escalators, there's like the Saiso-in sort of wiping the escalator
handles.
Why don't they do that for the trains?
You know, frequently.
I never see anybody wipe the, you know, the handles for the day shift, you know?
Right.
Well, I mean, I think they do, I think once a day thing.
Like after the shudan or something?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's once a day, right?
Yeah.
So.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
All right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye.
