I usually just use my jeans/shorts after washing my hands. I kinda felt it's a bit unclean to use the tissue there as somebody before me might have done something to it haha... I also rarely use the drier if the bathroom has one as it kind of takes time to do it.
What about you guys?

Whenever I'm going out, I always bring a little towel so that's the one I use whenever I go at public urinals. I haven't gone to any public baths though, I would feel awkward 
I try to use the dryer if its available and to make my hands dry faster, I rub my hands as quickly but lightly

Ah! I see I see... that explains it.
I mean bother on bringing a towel, cause I thought your just gonna use it for public bathrooms.
If you didn't know I think we're from the same country so I know how you feel, but I don't bring a towel though haha...

When in a public place and having to use their restroom, i always put toilet paper down on the seat and then when i'm finished i use hand sanatizer instead of using their paper towels. I feel so nasty having to use a public restroom anyways and prefer to be at home, but sometimes you just gotta deal with it. LOL! God bless

Hehe... another way to clean your hands. Too bad though, I don't bring any bags with me or what haha... It would be too weird if the only thing I bring is a hand sanitizer on my hands haha

hehe... sounds like a good idea to use your jeans/shorts to wipe your hands. when i'm at home i sometimes wipe my hands on my shirt when i'm lazy but often times it shows when my shirt is wet, so i never do that in public. but i guess it won't really show on jeans because of the color. i think i'll give it a try next time. but not because i'm afraid to use the tissue or anything, but just because i like doing things out of the ordinary, and that's one way to enjoy life! :)

I usually use the drier when there is nobody before me.I don't like waiting ,so I'll just pass when there is somebody is using the drier.
I don't like to use the public towel,I don't think it's clean enough.As for the tissue,I don't like it either,I only use it when there is no substitute.

Yea.. hehe... as much as possible I also don't like to use public toilets. But of course, you can't resist it sometimes. That't the reason why they are there.

I usually use the dryer, or if they have them, paper towels. If I'm a little suspicious of the paper tissue I'll just take it out and use the next one, but usually there's someone else before me, so I know it's a clean tissue.
If the restroom lacks a paper tissue dispenser and/or a working dryer, I'll just shake my hands a bit, and wipe the left over water on my pants.

I use whatever is provided. I'm not picky.
I think all this paranoia about cleanliness is a little much.
