    You clean your hands but then you have to touch a probably dirty handle to open the door.

        There’s definitely solutions to the problem. You could carry disposable gloves. People with dogs carry plastic bags everywhere. That could work in a pinch. You could wedge the door open and use your foot to open it to leave.

        I personally just try to not use public toilets as much as possible. I carry hand sanitizer spray and a bottle of water in my backpack. It’s definitely gross, but it’s not unsolvable.

      People don’t know they can hang on to the paper towel to open the door, then Kobe that shit on the way out?

      I worked security in pubs, nightclubs and licenced venues for a decade and to this day, I do not wash my hands in public bathrooms. I touch as little as humanly possible and use paper towel to open the door.

      My wife thinks its gross but Ive seen shit that cannot be unseen.

        Why does any of that lead to “I don’t wash my hands”? In what scenario is washing your hands the dirtier option? Unless somebody took a shit in the soap dispenser, your hands will be cleaner after cleaning them.

        Please clean your hands.
