Written yesterday:
I’m on my flight back from Portland.  I’m just back from the tiny washroom, where I
remembered that I have been meaning for ages to ask a question.  How come tiny airplane bathrooms say to wipe
out the sink with paper towel after use? 
There is often a little sign requesting this “for the sake of the next
passenger”.  I don’t understand AT
ALL.  It’s so wasteful.  Is anyone offended by a few droplets of water
in the sink?  It’s not as if the next
person isn’t using clean water from the tap. 
Does anyone ever actually wipe the sink? 
I know this is tiny compared to the impacts of everything that happens
on an airline.  Yet, I think it’s
suggesting something useless and wasteful. 
Anyone?  Help me out?  What’s the point?

Ha ha! I always thought that it was kind of strange too but I do it! I use the paper towel I dried my hands with so I don't know if it's that much more wasteful. But it made me laugh thinking about how I just blindly do whatever the sign tells me!
I've always wondered the same thing. Although rather than blindly following the suggestion, for years I've been stubbornly ignoring it. So I suppose I should appologize to all the people using the wet sink after I'm done. lol
