  No I’m 50 and I’ve seen them, definitely wasn’t alive in the 60s.

    OK, so it sounds like they died out in the 70s?

      I’m 30, and I’ve seen them twice in my life in-person. However, I believe that they were in very old buildings. Can’t remember exactly where, though, since they were both over ten years ago.

        30s checking in, local gas station had one up until 10 or 15 years ago. I moved, haven’t been back since to check if it’s still there 🤷‍♂️

  I did see them around as a child millenial. Not totally uncommon in older and public buildings until early 2000’s. The airblade dryers seemed to come in right as the last of these were phased out.

  I’m a millennial that has seen them in Sweden, but probably at least for not a decade or more by now.

  I’m 38 and the racetrack near my childhood home had these, they were always damp

  I’d see them very rarely, and wipe my hands on the back of my trousers if they were in use.

  I’m Dutch and I’be seem plenty of these over the years. I can’t remember where tho, probably university and maybe highschool. I feel like they’re (or were) quite common
