HobbitFoot,

Architects are psychopaths. So most of them?

ZugZugDaBoo,

You just need to learn the Joe Rogan spinning sidekick.

PrimeErective,

That gets you in. How do you get back out?

GrimReaperCZ,

With the same move. But nobody will close the door at all after you’re done.

zerbey,

Most bathrooms have foot pulls now, it’s not a perfect solution for everyone but it’s better than the alternative.

looeee,

What’s a foot pull? I’m imagining a floor-level hook that you either use to open the door or break your ankle with

Rouxibeau,

Stovetop,

Yes. They’re dumb.

Acters,

My shoes are smooth enough to make it impossible to get a grip on them. Not to mention trying to balance while pulling it. Some bathrooms have an arm pull, dobt know how hygienic it is.

Most? I do see them often but you definitely live in a different place than I do.

I’ve only seen doorless toilets in large well ventilated spaces such as some train stations. I don’t think that would go well inside a shopping mall or a restaurant

I got through most of the post/comments thinking this was about stall doors…

Labonnie,

It isn’t?

otter,

Some of the comments might be about stalls, but I think most of them might be about the door to the bathroom itself. Since a person would wash their hand after leaving the stall and before touching that door, and with a pull door you have to touch that handle.

I realized it with this comment since a doorless stall sounds like a nightmare

Eh, it’s unclear honestly. After reading some comments I realised op maybe meant the direction in which doors open, not the fact that you have to open doors. I don’t know

I just eat with dirty hands. No matter how hard I try to be clean I will always end up consuming filth one way or another so now I dont worry about it. I’ll take a shit, not wash my hands and then pick up a slice of pizza no worries.

toothpaste_sandwich,

That’s right who cares about other people touching what you touch with your shit hands. Shouldn’t be around you if they don’t want that.

Fizz,

Anything in public should be assumed to be dirty. If its not me fuckin it up someone else will.

toothpaste_sandwich,

That’s the spirit—things suck anyway so you might as well contribute, right? You’re an inspiration to us all.

Its impossible for things in public to be clean. I am not making things worse. I am just not neurotically worrying about things that dont affect me.

Hyperreality, (edited )

You are. Roughly 48 million food borne illnesses per year in the US, in large part due to people not washing their hands.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodborne_illness#Epidemiology

Also Noro-virus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norovirus

A large part of prevention is handwashing.

Also, Cholera:

https://www.cdc.gov/cholera/preventionsteps.html

Have a guess what prevention step 2 is.

You go around with shit particles on your hand, infecting everything. You're a typhoid Mary. Even if you've never been ill after eating some food (which I find unlikely) it's not unlikely that you have made people ill, and maybe even killed someone with a weakened immune system.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

I’m not in the us so relax.

Hyperreality,

The US has relatively low levels of food borne diseases. It was an example.

Also parasites, like hookworm:

https://www.healthline.com/health/whipworm-infection#prevention

Up to a quarter of a billion people are infected worldwide, in large part due to poor hygiene.

Then there's round worm, likely a billion people infected globally. Once again, due to poor sanitation and hygiene aka handwashing.

But hey, you do you.

Just know that at this point you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass then lick it. It's fundamentally not that different to not caring about washing off shit particles before eating food.

Fizz,
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass and lick it.

Mate people are eating a different strangers ass each week. These people never get sick because it builds up the immune system

Hyperreality,

As mentioned above, people get sick in large numbers, and many die.

You can't 'build up your immune system' by eating literal shit.

You can't prevent cholera or a parasitic infection by licking toilet seats either.

I mean, seriously. Don't believe me, go eat an actual turd. See how you feel.

Look at the difference in sick days between a construction worker and an office workers. Spending your whole life trying to avoid germs is a futile battle.

Coreidan,

Ah. Living proof that people are fucking disgusting, in case anyone had any doubts.

Toilet doors should face outward, so you can save someone who’s in distress inside.

Lmaydev,

And smash people outside in the face

Hanabie,

The moment your elderly mom has a stroke on the toilet, you’ll look back at all the times you got the door in your face and be grateful. What a tiny price to pay for the life of your mother.

I can see this for a stall (think someone falling over and blocking the door, or one of those really tight bathroom stalls where you really have to shimmy to get yourself into the stall), a bathroom door itself not as much.
