Why do establishments put the door handles on the inside of doors? It's backwards. When we wash our hands, we should be able to push open the door, not pulll open a nasty door handle.
Anyone agree?

Use a paper towel.

Who wants to touch either side of a bathroom door? Pretty sure my junk has less germs than anything in a public restroom.

This is the age of blowers. Not all places have paper towels

Pretty much everywhere has napkins on the table.

Who uses a blower anyway? That is just forcing the poo particles into your hand.

Normally doors open into rooms by design. Also, the door handle leaving the bathroom is the least likely place to have germs. The antibacterial soap residue from people that do wash up kills germs and keeps the handle clean. The floor is the worst. If you drop something in the public rest room, you should think hard on if you really need it.

I just open the door like a normal human and proceed to go about my life. I've yet to catch a disease.

Mainly due to liability concerns. Most restrooms are located in hallways. The building owner runs a huge risk of lawsuit if someone can push a bathroom door outward into the hallway where they could likely hit someone walking by

Paulie: I can’t stand touchin’ frickin’ shoelaces. Ever go to tie your shoes and you notice that the ends of your laces are wet? From what? Why would they be wet?
Sil: I got no frickin’ idea.
Paulie: You go to public bathrooms? You stand at the urinals?
Hesh: Oh frick, come on will ya?
Paulie: He’s askin’ me, I’m tellin’ him. And frankly, it’s important. Even if the lace is dry and even if you don’t touch the body of the shoe, bacterium virus migrates from the sole up.
Chris: You see this on TV?
Paulie: I gotta watch TV to figure out the world? Your average men’s shite house is a frickin’ sewer. You look at ladies’ johns, you could eat maple walnut ice cream from the toilets. Eh, there’s exceptions. But the men’s? Heh. Piss all over the frickin’ floor. Urinals jammed with cigarettes and mothball cakes. And they can put all the frickin’ ice they want down there, my friend, it does nothing to kill germs. Even if you keep your shoes tied and you’re not draggin’ your laces through urine…

I wash my hands and use the paper to open the door in that scenario.

Within 3 minutes of being outside the bathroom you probably touch something equally as dirty if not more than anything in the bathroom.

I agree door handles are nasty.

But much more clean than the keyboard you used to start this thread.

Did some research on this in college. Apparently people touch the door handles with soap still on their hands far more often than they do with poop still on them. We tested bar bathrooms nonetheless and they actually came up clean. We couldn't say the same for our control, which was taken from a water fountain in one of the Buildings on campus.

I agree. And it's probably your cell phone.
