With as many people that do not wash their hands and the amount of germs that are on the door handle, I would think that outward pushing doors would be more commonplace.
because if they opened outward, as you were exiting you could jack someone walking by not expecting it

Some of you may like grabbing this with your bare hands but I will always use a paper towel when exiting the bathroom.

I don't worry about the handle. As others have said there a ton of germs everywhere. I'm not gonna spend my life worrying about it.

Exactly. I've never used anything but my hand and I'm still alive.

How many of you wear surgical masks? I bet more people get sick from other people coughing than get sick by touching bathroom seats and door handles.

I've never seen anybody use a paper tower or their shirt to open the door, I highly doubt the people claiming they do are telling the truth. If you think a door handle is the only thing with germs on it you are crazy, pretty much everything does. If you are really that concerned you might as well wear gloves everywhere.

I have to agree, in my damn near 37 years of life, I've never seen anyone use a paper towel to open a door. I have 100% honestly, truthfully never seen it.

I haven't seen the paper towel move either.

I don't like touching the door knob/handle...but I have to if I am going to get out. I also despise when I see someone not wash their hands. Now, I don't give it a thorough 5-minute wash, but I get them wet enough where it is clean enough. I do not touch the flusher either; if it's the commode, I use my foot to raise and lower the seat, and to flush.

You can catch the clap from a toilet seat. Good thing is, its treatable.

Why? Is your dick that dirty? I see absolutely no need to wash your hands after a pee, unless you pee on it or something.

Keep sanitizer at my desk at work so I use my hands there. Other times I just use my sleeve.

Germs make your immune system stronger. I have never seen the towel move either...and never used anything but my hand.

Haha. Good point. But...no. Definitely don't do that.

I just cannot lift a toilet seat up with my hands anymore. I have seen WAY too many toilet seats with crap on the underside of them. How does that happen? I am not about to put my hand in crap that is hidden on the underside of the seat.
