This is why I love those things at the bottom of the door that lets you open the door with your foot.
Yes and I find it funny that I see them in some of the cheapest, bars & restaurants.
Sit at a bar and have $3 beer, there’s a foot grab.
Sit at a sushi bar and get $150 bottle of sake, no foot grab. Bizzaro.
True, except in this picture, you have to pull the door to get out.
I know … and unlock the door too!!! So I would only do that after and before i wash my hands.
I’ve had contamination OCD for the majority of my life, and this shit has been torture for me.
I’ve been trying to get a ADA accommodation to work from home because my job is in software, but the bastards over at HR think that clorox wipes and a dedicated cube will solve this shit. It’s irritating as fuck that nobody in charge seems capable of piecing basic hygiene together.
Sounds like someone needs a motivational metaphor to make HR feel what it’s like to sit in a very uncomfortable situation, such as a stinkbomb in their office.
Raw fish in the air ducts is IMO a better choice
Grab the handle with your butt cheeks. it’s a talent/skill you can hone
I use my scrotum like an oven mitt
Auspicious
Delicious.
i didn’t know we had someone blessed by the tanuki in our midst
I personally use my dick to whip it like Indiana Jones.
good thing i’m drop ball world champion then
This reminds me of a sign I saw at a restaurant bathroom recently.
There are plenty of ways to make this better. Most of it’s theater because there’s nothing really wrong with touching the door, but some of the ways are not even expensive to make it comfortable for germaphobes.
Single bathroom doors always swing out
Copper-plate the handles
If you have to swing in, add a foot handle.
Plenty of stuff wrong with touching the door, considering how many people don’t wash their hands…
What else do they touch? How many are employees? The door is only gross because you know it’s being touched. EVERYTHING is being touched, and something like 50% of people don’t wash their hands properly or at all.
Yeah that’s why you don’t touch other stuff either, because it’s all gross. But at least if you go to the bathroom to wash your hands, you should be able to like eat your lunch after
The only reason touching doorknobs is gross is because people don’t wash their hands.
Unless you’re willing to opt in to some kinda bathroom panopticon that locks the bathroom until everyone trying to leave has properly washed their hands, it’s probably best to just avoid a knobbed door.
Those same people are touching everything else in the store/world. The employees have touched every item on the floor. half of those don’t wash their hands. The door only feels gross because you have no doubt.
That’s why I try not to touch most things with my hands.
I should also order more handkerchiefs
Touchless sinks are the worst fucking tech ever. Shit never works, and when it does, it never gives you enough water to get a good hand wash
Even just a button with a timer you can mash is better
They’re also terrible at recognition if you happen to have a darker complexion.
And it never gives you warm water
Oh that part is easy! Just hold the water in your mouth until it’s warm then dribble it onto your hands!
You have to ask nicely!
This thread renforces my theory that hygienism is a bastard of capitalism. So much useless worries but in the same time so lucrative
Shout out to S shaped hallway with no doors 😭you’re the real mvp
Geez I guess some people never go outside into the world of germs
Not to mention if everyone washed their hands properly, that door handle is clean.
Have you met people? There’s stupid fucks out there who take pride in being disgusting assholes who don’t wash their hands.
There were people going maskless during covid because they already caught covid and were only interested in protecting themselves.
There were people that raged at others wearing masks because they felt entitled to see their faces or some stupid shit.
It reminded them of their StankBreath
It’s harder to tell a woman she’d be prettier if she smiled if you can’t see her mouth.
If you simply cut your hands off these petty grievances will become a distant memory.
Meh, 5 second rule applies here.
There is more shit on that handle than a toilet seat.
The bathrooms outside the lobby in my work building take this automatic crap a step further, with automatic soap machines. It’s hit or miss if any given one will have soap at all. (Thankfully, we have another sink inside my work itself that employees can use, but guests are fucked.)
Then when they do dispense soap, it’s the foam shit. So it looks like the sink just spit into my hands. Lovely.
Now don’t say that, we’re gonna have touchless doors that don’t work for dark skinned folks and too excited to open for white people passing by
And lazy shits who leave paper towels on the floor by the door.
There is some blame on the establishment for not providing a garbage by the door to alleviate this issue. However, if it was provided and people are still trashy, I guess it is what it is.
The best is no door at all - like at airports where there’s just a barrier wall you have to walk around. I was about to say it’s not something you can do in every setting, but that’s only because we aren’t willing to dedicate the space to it.
Elbow for the doors and whatever I’m wearing for drying.
