I like public restroom doors that have a handle like protrusion down near the bottom for your foot

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.

Instructions unclear, genitalia stuck in the lower door handle. Send HALP

And the reason school bathrooms can’t just have kitchen doors that you can back into to open from either direction?

My germaphobia is so triggered

🤮

I'd have to use a paper towel all the time, to open doors, and also use hand sanitizer to clean my hands. I'm that germaphobic.

I hate public bathrooms. HATE in bold

This is a game theory scenario:

1. I’m too lazy too lazy to wash my hands or don’t feel it’s necessary. Upon encountering this door I see both handles and decide to follow their instructions and open the door for unwashed hands. My hands are now unspeakably filthy as filthy people following the signs have accumulated a ton of germs on this handle. I get sick.

2. I was my hands, follow the signs and use the washed handle. Unbeknownst to me some unwashed game theorists decided that obviously the handle for washed hands would be cleaner so they used it without actually washing their hands first. It’s now also filthy.

3. I didn’t wash my hands, I don’t give a fuck about signs, use the one most convenient for me.

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?
