When leaving a public toilet (whether at work or in a mall), I really get the shivers if I need to pull the door to exit as opposed to pushing...

Picture this - you go to the toilet, do what you need to and WASH YOUR HANDS... You then go to the door and it says PULL... You've just washed your hands and now you have to touch a door handle that hundreds of others have touched (after washing your hands)...

But how do I know that they have washed their hands... I've seen people leave the toilets without washing their hands and touch the same door handle that I need to...

Am I just paranoid or is this a genuine concern - who knows what germ lurk on those handles? Why can't they just make you push the door, then I can use any other part of my body to get out...
 
Think about this..you open the tap..wash r hands and touch the tap again ;) I use toilet paper when opening touching things.
 
Stop being so paranoid.

I seriously don't get how people can be this scared of life - it makes me think of Jack Nicholson in that one movie.

I'm exactly the same. Toilet paper ftw when I need to touch handles etc. Otherwise I just use my shoes to gently move the door open.
 
On that note, why is washing your hands before using the urinal not commonplace? You're touching the filthy door, then your penis.
 
You ever bite your nails? Well theres tons of germs there too.
 
I prefer when there are no doors.... just have a shielded entrance.

At work you always push the door in to some ones face because you can't see when another person is entering at the same time that you are leaving.

I also hate it when you Finnish up at the stall at the same time as some one else and then you go to the taps and they just leave.... you know that they haven't washed and then you have to open the door.
 
i seldom bother to wash my hands after using public toilets, i often have a nice meal right after in fact, as long as you dont pee on your hands or smear poop all over them i reckon you'll be fine.
 
Provided the bin is close enough to the door I use the hand towels/paper that I am drying my hands with to open the door then I basketball throw the towel into the bin while holding the door open with my foot then I exit :D no physical hand contact of the door required.
 
I'd be more worried about mall escalators or elevator buttons than toilet door handles. Seriously though, our bodies are more resilient to common, everyday bacteria than you'd think.

So how exactly do you wipe your ass, with a toilet brush?
