I've never seen more PAX attendees actually wash their dang hands, though. Normally if the sinks are full people just run back out (ew). Not this year. Almost everybody was waiting to clean their hands.


It's a shame it takes a viral outbreak to make convention-goers wash their hands...

(speaking as someone who's been on both the attendee and organiser side of the convention 'fence')


Seems a simple fix would be to add hand sanitizer stations either in the bathrooms or right outside of it.


For bathrooms that use toilet paper, I've wondered if the hand-washing station should be located within easy reach of the toilet.

Then people could wash their hands immediately after wiping, instead of first having to touch other objects like pants, belts, and in public restrooms, jackets, backpacks, and stall latches.


And now you've discovered why I always try and use the handicapped stall.


People would then have to use them. The hand sanitizers you see all over PAX do not get a lot of traffic.

Nerds be gross, my dude.
