The Trinkaus method is to observe, and then to produce a no-nonsense report, typically two or three pages long. The Trinkaus annoyance oeuvre now totals more than 100 monographs. A professor emeritus at the Zicklin School of Business, in New York City, he has continued his irritability, his observations, and his writing. This is the same Trinkaus who won the 2003 Ig Nobel prize in literature for publishing more than 80 studies of things that annoy him.
As to the clients, 23 (6%) of the 392 noted sanitised their hands." Trinkaus gives this terse summary: "Of the 108 practitioners observed, 3 (3%) stopped and used the sanitising station. The study was quick (500 individuals were observed) and the results dirty – most took a hands-off approach, strolling blithely past the sanitiser. "Those wearing a hospital identification badge, or dressed in seemingly hospital garb, were judged to be healthcare practitioners: the others healthcare clients." There he sat, carefully noting what each person did and who they seemed to be. To glean some information as to the possible usage of such sanitising stations, a study was conducted at one such facility: an ancillary building (housing faculty practice offices) of a teaching hospital." He says: "A number of organisations with high pedestrian traffic volume throughout the day in their buildings have installed hand sanitising devices in the lobbies. Trinkaus went where he presumed there should be lots of hand-sanitising.
