Most bathrooms have foot pulls now, it's not a perfect solution for everyone but it's better than the alternative.
My shoes are smooth enough to make it impossible to get a grip on them. Not to mention trying to balance while pulling it. Some bathrooms have an arm pull, dobt know how hygienic it is.
Most? I do see them often but you definitely live in a different place than I do.
Central Florida.
Toilet doors should face outward, so you can save someone who's in distress inside.
And smash people outside in the face
The moment your elderly mom has a stroke on the toilet, you'll look back at all the times you got the door in your face and be grateful. What a tiny price to pay for the life of your mother.
I can see this for a stall (think someone falling over and blocking the door, or one of those really tight bathroom stalls where you really have to shimmy to get yourself into the stall), a bathroom door itself not as much.
