[quote]But I am super confused by her need to tell you... that
is the odd part to me! [/quote]
Mmm, I'm with the others who have said she knew it might look
odd to OP, and felt she should explain that it wasn't anything
personal. But I also agree with everyone who thinks it's a
futile thing to do because it won't inspire anyone to wash their
hands who wasn't going to do it anyway.

I thought of this thread today when I was in a restaurant
restroom and, while I was drying my hands in front of the
dispenser, it spit out another piece. Apparently, I was close
enough to set off the sensor.
Likewise, at work, walking past the dispensers to get to the
stalls will often set them off.
If a saw a piece of paper hanging from a dispenser, I would
think it was sensitive and someone set it off accidentally. It
wouldn't necessarily "remind" me to wash my hands if I weren't
planning on doing so already.
So, my vote goes to "odd."

What does she do in washrooms that only have air dryers?
I could picture a non-hand washer coming out the stall, seeing
the paper towel hanging there and grabbing it, thinking 'hey,
how handy', blowing her nose on it, and still not washing her
hands. :D

It sounds like a quirk to me. I think telling you about it was
interesting, and I guess internally she is passive-aggressive
but not in any kind of really annoying way.
If it works at all to improve hand washing, more power to her.
The stats above in this thread are shocking. And after I read
it I was really amazed to see someone I work with come out of a
stall (after flushing) and walk right out. Made me want to hang
up a PA sign!

I leave paper towel hanging so that the next person doesn't have
to touch the handle with clean hands.
I will use paper towel that is already hanging. I have always
assumed it was for the next person.

I must be a germaphobe because when I see a section of paper
towel hanging exposed, all I can think about is all the droplets
that have had an opportunity to land on it. Ewww.
I think she's odd and knows she's odd which is why she felt the
need to explain herself. But she's trying to be thoughtful.
