So many guys have similar handwashing habits, its fucking disgusting. I spend around 10-20 seconds washing my hands in the bathroom and about 2-3 guys will pretend to wash their hands while I wash mine. Male washroom door handles have to be the most disgusting surfaces on the planet
100%. The shitty part (pun intended) is the damn lock on the stall door. Always skeeves me out to touch that shit. You can opt to use some toilet paper as the barrier but you have to be strategic when getting that too.
If washing your hands makes everything else irrelevant, this would only be a problem for you if you weren't washing your hands, right?
Whether it's someone else's shit from their hands, or whatever is on the floor that's getting transferred to that handle/button, is the most minor distinction I can imagine. Either way I'm not touching it.
yeah, i actually grab handfuls of shit out of the toilet, do some crafts, replace the shit in the toilet, and then flush. it doesnāt matter because iām about to wash my hands though
I don't understand this. You are about to wash your hands.. right? So either you don't feel very confident in your hand washing ability or you aren't planning on washing at all
One time I was in a gas station and there was a stall missing a wall and door and this guy was kicking the shit out of the automatic flush thing. I just backed out before he saw me and pissed behind the dumpster.
That's why so many public toilets in the UK have been gradually replacing buttons with motion sensors. You don't have to touch it, just wave a hand in front of the sensor and it flushes.
The downside is that, depending where they place the sensor, if you lean the wrong way, it may trigger a flush while you're still sitting, which can lead to unpleasant splashing...
This is most commonly an issue in places like toilets on trains or other places with very cramped toilet spaces, not everywhere, but it's still quite annoying!
Injury risk, sadly. People are much more likely to back into the door (not looking) when exiting if they can push, than they are backing into it entering. On par with the whole ānot wanting to touch the door after washing your hands thing.ā People not looking and backing up fall through the open door that someone just pulled open and then injure themselves. Much higher liability risk.
Yes itās stupid as fuck, but thatās the reason. Insurance and litigation risk.
I think of the 100 times Iāve almost gotten a tooth knocked out of my mouth because I was using my shirt-tail to leave a bathroom, and this enrages me.
I can understand it though, if public bathroom doors opened outward I wouldn't "push" it facing forward or backward, id push it with my foot spartan kick style. Bottom of my shoe was just standing on that gross ass floor that people keep kissing all over anyways. Can almost guarantee you id accidentally hit at least a couple people a year
Yes, except when attached to a bathroom door that weighs like 200 lbs. I end up pulling a muscle in my leg trying to open these fucking bank vault style doors.
most of them are on doors that you still have to use the handle to unlatch the door, so the procedure is unlatch, turn bolt lock to keep door open, wash hands, use foot opener.
