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

I have hated this for years. A bright spot is that handicap stall doors open outwards, so if no one happens to need them and you don't feel guilty, you can duck inside. And they have plenty of room to stash stuff, too.
