Just use the paper towel you used to dry your hands to open the door
This is an additional reason I hate places that use air driers instead of paper towels
after you've peed on your hands, open the door, then quickly wash your hands and run out. the wind will dry your hands.
Why the unnecessary steps? Just pee on the door handle.
this is why i usually pee on my friends hands. then they have to open the door
It's truly amazing how many people including who ever made the picture don't realize this. It's kind of like those conversations where people talk about washing spoons and always getting water sprayed on themselves. Or the people that can only wipe standing up. It's like somehow they just are going through life and not managing the most basic thought processes.
I’ve noticed a lot of places now have a trash can conveniently located by the door for this.
I'm that asshole who leaves paper towels by the door until they get the hint.
Just move the bin yourself. They’ll get the hint without extra work.
Eww then ya gotta touch the bin
Many places put these on the bottom of the door for this very reason. Granted they only help people able to use them.
Most general public bathrooms (ie. not ones found within stores/reataurants) in Australia don’t have doors - but rather an S-shaped path that provides privacy, without the necessary “stickiness” of having to touch a door handle.
Is this not common elsewhere?
That's what most airports, schools, and such seem to have in my experience. (U.S.)
I wish. I'm surprised we haven't brought back pay toilets in the US.
Those things fucking suck when you can get them to work and they are downright dangerous otherwise.
I've hyperextended my knee using one. Good times. Hyperextension used to be a "oh that sucked" but as I get older they're more and more a "oh shit is this the time it fails on me? " territory.
Nothing like losing your balance or getting your foot jammed when someone slams the door open from the other side. I prefer the wheelchair buttons
Best I can do is a Palantir face recognition device that verify your identity before allowing you out of the bathroom
Easy. You take one of those paper towels and keep it between you and the handle to open the door. Then you hold the door open with your foot while you try to toss the paper towel.
Recently saw a door with a little tab at the bottom to put your foot on and open it that way, surprisingly functional.
I've only seen this in a few places - and of the places most had them installed in the most awkward/ineffective way.
Really? They're everywhere where I live.
The way people behave in airport bathrooms bothers me. The bathroom gets cleaned 5 times a day and people still use a mountain of tp on the seat and flush the toilet with their foot like a bunch of homo zombies with norovirus just rode the handle.
But if you must do the above, in any restroom with soap, wash your hands afterwards. You'd want your doctor to.
Trick question. That door doesn't work. Someone installed it like an idiot.
I don't get it bro, the hinges, door closer and handle all are formatted properly to open inward.
Educate your heathen friend here.
the door closer on the top will bind up on itself in that position.
There are a good reasons for this:
Inward opening doors pull air into the bathroom area and both contain the smells and germs, (the opposite is true for outward opening doors) but also bring additional fresh air in.
Doors that open outwards into hallways (where public access toilets are most commonly found) is a huge hazard to people passing the door.
Not to mention foot pulls and automatic door openers are becoming more common so you dont have to touch the handle as often.
Lots of newer public toilets (at least in australia) are designed with an s-bend entrance to eliminate doors completely (however require constant exhaust).
Toilets in commercial buildings often have ante-chambers where doors open both ways into the chamber so you have to touch a handle regardless of direction of travel. (Common in offices and hospitals)
Huh never considered this, thanks
Pisses me off, especially considering that like 70% of men don't wash their hands. I've become an expert in using my elbow.
Edit: pisses off → pisses me off
Open the door with a paper towel because men are fucking gross.
Tell me you've never seen how fucking nasty women's restrooms are in comparison...
As someone who has spent years cleaning both - men's restrooms are predictably gross the same way every day. Women's restrooms are typically cleaner until they aren't. Then they really aren't. Piss on the floor - not in a stall, blood randomly sprayed around somehow, shit literally smeared by hand on the wall.
Oh noo toilet seats are too gross! I must hang from the ceiling and rain down piss from 2 meters above. Oh oops I got blood on the seat. I'm sure the next occupant will be happy to clean it up with 1 ply toilet paper!
Theoretically, if everyone did the Yes, the But wouldn't be that big of a But.
Sadly, I'm well aware not everyone does the Yes. Going into a men's public bathroom is disgusting; it's disgraceful how many men I've seen leave without washing.
My favorite was a guy in college who came in, used the urinal, used the hand dryer, and left.
i hate this so much
And then they ask why you stopped handshaking
Do you expect him to leave with wet urine on his hands? Those dryers are made specifically for drying urine and blowing away the smell. That's clearly what the little picture on them means.
My hands harbor far more bacteria than my dick. And so does that door handle, the grossest part of the whole business.
I know where my dick has been. Usually.
Edit: Why so serious?
You also pull up your pants before washing your hands. If I were a germophobe, I’d be terrified of the two spots I grab to pull my pants up after pooping.
IDGI
You clean your hands but then you have to touch a probably dirty handle to open the door.
I worked security in pubs, nightclubs and licenced venues for a decade and to this day, I do not wash my hands in public bathrooms. I touch as little as humanly possible and use paper towel to open the door.
My wife thinks its gross but Ive seen shit that cannot be unseen.
Why does any of that lead to "I don't wash my hands"? In what scenario is washing your hands the dirtier option? Unless somebody took a shit in the soap dispenser, your hands will be cleaner after cleaning them.
Please clean your hands.
People don't know they can hang on to the paper towel to open the door, then Kobe that shit on the way out?
A lot of places put the waste basket by the door for this very reason.
