Dear architects,

Bathroom doors should open out, not in. I have remarkably little desire to use a handle previously touched by someone I just watched not wash their hands. Much better to simply push open the door with my shoulder. And I shouldn't have to point this out, but stall doors should do likewise. No one wants to straddle a toilet just to get the door closed. It's because of things like this that we all make fun of you. Function first, then form.

Sincerely, gfish

That's what I do, as does everyone else at work. For much of the year I'm wearing long-sleeved shirts or hoodies, and I pull those over my hands when I have to touch something of dubious cleanliness.

...but then your sleeve is dirty! Nothing like carrying the contamination with you all day long...

But I *know* it's dirty, and I don't touch my sleeve. It's like disposable gloves.
