If they’re going to break the rule about washing hands they’re not going to follow the door handle one either.
I’ll just lick both handles to be safe
⬆️ Found patient zero, everyone.
That’s me actually after I have Sprucey lick my eyeball
Here’s an idea:
The sinks should be outside the bathroom.
That way, you can wash your hands after touching the dirty door, and everyone in the hallway can see if you don’t wash your hands.Are the doors even necessary? Just put a sharp left turn tiny hallway for privacy, blocks out everything but sound - most public bathrooms have them already
blocks out everything but sound
You’ve never heard the sounds my coworker makes on the toilet.
The smell tho.
Plus school bathrooms tend to be dirty.
More airflow via the open entrance could help with the smell
It could.
But then I’d rather have my highschool toilets which had a direct outside access. They weren’t heated and thus were cold in winter but the smell was indeed ok.
I still don’t want to touch a handle where it’s guaranteed that people who just took a shit without washing their hands have touched, even if I’m about to wash my hands right after.
We should just all use those foot handles. Solves pretty much everything, but why are they so rare?
Cause they trap disabled people inside the bathroom.
Which can happen to some anyway if they don’t have a powered door opener.
OK but just because you put a foot handle on a door doesn’t mean you can’t have a normal handle as well. Just put them both on the door.
Or am I missing something?
That…makes sense to me. Not only would you need one set of sinks, you wouldn’t need to go into the shit and piss room if you just want to wash your hands.
Literally scrolling while pooping at work and someone came in, did their thing and left without hand washing. These idiots walk among us.
I see it happen all too often. People suck.
I still wouldn’t trust either handle. People are assholes.
There are some folk who I went to school with I can see rubbing their assholes on the handles because “fuck you, you’re a sign not a cop”. I’m sure there’s a name for that disorder.
Oppositional Defiance Disorder, I have a coworker like this. It’s exhausting.
“Don’t you dare do anything I say”
He is also too intelligent for reverse psychology. I just ignore him if I can.
there should be a guy in every bathroom who body slams you into the pavement if you don’t wash your hands for 20 seconds with
warmsoap and waterPer the CDC
Use your preferred water temperature – cold or warm – to wash your hands. Warm and cold water remove the same number of germs from your hands. The water helps create soap lather that removes germs from your skin when you wash your hands. Water itself does not usually kill germs; to kill germs, water would need to be hot enough to scald your hands.
this whole time i had no idea… thank you. i’ll update the suggestion in light of this new information
They should put 110V through the top one.
This problem is solved by having paper towels (air dryers suck) and placing the paper towel trash bin next to the door so that you can use your hand-full of towels as a barrier between the handle and throw the towels away as you leave.
Or motorized door, or no door at all, this clearly isn’t a house, just have an S shaped passage. Voila, way fewer sick people on your building. It quickly pays for itself. And without reminding everyone on every day of how gross humans are.
it seems like a good idea to me, but my question is would it lead to more poop particles circulating more widely throughout the building than without a door? ig airports, etc seem fine with it so it must not be a big problem?
No, and when you see those petri dish tests, that’s not poop in the air. There are million of living things in the air around you already. Spores and bacterias and that’s what is growing in the petridish. It is already everywhere and mostly beneficial. But it does make for good clickbait.
Someone who’s too fuckin lazy to wash their hands isn’t gonna take the time to read anything in public.
first off, the clean handle should be on top. the nasty handle shouldn’t drip onto the clean handle.
second, as you are leaving a public bathroom, reach under your shirt/jacket (hopefully something untucked. ) use the fabric as a barrier for your hand and grab the handle with the front of the shirt/jacket.
But now you have dry urine smeared over your sleeves.
Better than on my hands, but…
i didnt say sleeves. the underside of the bottom of your shirt. or go to a haberdashery and get yourself a hanky.
Ok. Your first one is “tomatoes, tomatos.” The second is my go-to solution of sorts as well: use a paper towel, open the door, and dump the paper towel in the nearest bin. This works more often than not.
What is there to drip? Y’all pissing all over your hands or something?

Which handle is for opening the door with my (washed) prehensile pp?
Paper towel, always. No paper towels? That’s why you enter the bathroom with a napkin in your pocket.
Just get the foot door opener thing I love those things
Based on the differences in color for each handle it makes me wonder if the one for not washing your hands is a different material. Maybe an antimicrobial metal like a copper alloy.
This could easily be because the top handle is in a more convenient spot so everyone uses it and nobody uses the bottom one, I can’t think of a reason someone would be so inconsiderate as to not wash there hands but so altruistic that they go out of there way to use the inferior objectively worse handle. And human nature would say nobody is going to care about the slightly inconvenient option after it gets boring, don’t believe me? Then why do so many people choose the convenient less boring option of not washing their hands?
The problem with this layout is that the shit from the top handle will drop onto the lower one, thus contaminating it as well.
I think the two handles were just put in at different times, or are made of different materials.
If the top handle was “dirty” the discoloration would be localized around the gripping point
At least I know the top one is sanitized.
