But like, you wash the hands AFTER touching the soap dispenser so who cares if its dirty?

I consider it unnecessary, BUT have you ever seen a touch soap dispenser actually used for awhile? It gets NASTY. It's not even easy to wash off, and sometimes it's in crevices that you can't really wash if you wanted to keep it for longer.

Good point, it would make more sense to have a touch-free dryer instead if you're that concerned about shared contact.

Who has a hand dryer in their house?

We do but ours in a manual version. We call it a hand towel.

I have a walkout basement with a bar, including a bathroom with a keg urinal (all of this was installed by the previous owner). I've looked up the cost to get a hand dryer just to complete the look...

It was waaaay too much for me, but I could see some truly germ-phobic people doing it.

Keg... Urinal?

Yes! They wall mounted a keg, cut away maybe 1/4-1/3 of it, and put a drain at the bottom! There's a tap handle on the top to flush with! I love it so much.

That's actually pretty cool, I thought maybe it was a typo

Hah no sir, though I can definitely understand the confusion :)

The now-dirty soap dispenser.

You can turn on most facets with your elbows, but pumping soap with dirty hands while trying not to get the soap dispenser wet is more of a challenge. Best used in kitchens where you are more likely to have gunk on your hands.
