I use paper towels, TP, shirt sleeves, gloves, bottom of a t shirt as a barrier between me and germ infected handles.......

does pushing on a door with your hand leave less germs than grabbing a handle?

When available I use a paper towel to get out.
Invent it. People will buy it.

When I can't get a paper towel, I push at the way top of the door.
My thinking is that most people use the middle of the door, thus, more germs.

This whole board constantly talks about the pussification of America and then everybody is scared shitless to touch a fricking door handle.

People being fricking disgusting has nothing to do with pussifacation.

But being afraid of stupid shite does.

Walk-Ons in BR has a little "foot thing" that is awesome.
Otherwise it's a paper towel grip and if there's not a trash can close by, that shite gets thrown on the floor behind the door.

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.
This is nearly identical to the findings I had in my science fair project back in high school. My shitty application of the scientific method led to our school getting a new water fountain.

I never touch the inside door handle. I use a paper towel or my sleeve. If there's no trash can for me to discard the paper towel after the door is open then I leave it on the ground as a message that one should be there.
I also try to open most any public door using the least worn areas of the handle or door. If wearing sleeves then every door is opened with sleeve

Step n Pull is one of the greatest inventions ever. Their marketing or pricing must suck because that device should be in every public restroom nationwide. I've only seen it at Bikini's Sports Bar.
Rudy's BBQ in TX has a ghetto version that you stick your toe under the device and pull the door open. It scuffs up your boots/shoes so not worth it.
I used to be extremely OCD about not touching the door handle, using TP if no paper towels were available. Even used my keys on many occasions when there was no paper available. Now I just don't give a damn and grab the handle, if the place is sketchy I might wipe it off on my pants as I exit.

Walk On's has a foot thingy that you pull the bathroom door open with your foot.

If the fire alarm went off and you were in the bathroom, your stupid arse would throw the door open into the hallway as hard as you could if it opened outward. This would cause a pileup at the door as people trying to get out via the hallway ran into it. Both you and the people going down the hall would die in a fire.
That's why the door opens inward. Otherwise, you'd take 20 people who at least have some hope of being productive down with you.
EDIT: You'd probably whine and bitch the whole time you're getting crispy, too. Nobody wants to hear your whining during a fire.

Cant even imagine wanting a bathroom door opening outwards. Stupid idea.

I live in Africa. Bathroom door handles are the least of my worries.

There's a pile of weird people in here.
I piss, wash my hands about half of the time, pull open door with my hands, and don't worry about it.
Some of you would have an aneurysm if you caught a shite cramp in a shipyard

Back in the day in Chicago, you'd have two different types of restrooms. The lesser would require a dime placed into a slot then turned to access a public restroom, and then there were the upscale joints where a guy would solicit cologne and stuff with a tip jar. You had no choice but to pay or not shite.

On the cruise ships, ever bathroom door has a towel dispenser with a sign saying to use a towel to open the door, and they always have a bin on the otherside of the door.

Why not just carry some germex, and squirt on your hands when you get out. Voila, problem solved. Geez.
