Open the door with a paper towel because men are fucking gross.
Tell me you've never seen how fucking nasty women's restrooms are in comparison...
As someone who has spent years cleaning both - men's restrooms are predictably gross the same way every day. Women's restrooms are typically cleaner until they aren't. Then they really aren't. Piss on the floor - not in a stall, blood randomly sprayed around somehow, shit literally smeared by hand on the wall.
Oh noo toilet seats are too gross! I must hang from the ceiling and rain down piss from 2 meters above. Oh oops I got blood on the seat. I'm sure the next occupant will be happy to clean it up with 1 ply toilet paper!
Amen...
Imma be real unless you're full on immune compromised it's not that serious
Spreading germs can get other people sick. Washing hands is not hard.
I always open doors with my hands (I know, weirdo right?) and very rarely get sick. People are being overly dramatic.
Its not about getting sick. It's about getting filth on your just cleaned hands.
If you can't see it and it doesn't get you sick it's honestly not an issue beyond being a overly conscious about germs.
If it doesn't get me sick, why care?
Let me guess you also refused to wear a mask during COVID. Sometimes stuff isn't about you.
Nope, I proudly used a mask, take your assumptions somewhere else.
Then maybe you should rethink you other comment jackass.
Why be so offensive? I literally just said I don't see a point in being afraid of germs on a doorhandle, since it is not going to hurt you in any way. I have not at any point been rude to you, why be rude to me?
"If it doesn't get me sick, why care?" That's why.
Just because it doesn't make you sick tracking germs/filth around can get other people sick.
And just because you're fine with shit and piss (yours or others) on your hands doesn't mean other people are.
You don't wanna wash your hands at home fine - but "refusing" to wash hands in a public setting is a shitty move.
Again assuming stuff, stop that. I never said I don't wash my hands, just that door handles aren't dangerous. You're wildly overreacting about this.
No one said refusing to wash hands wasn't an issue
That's what I do all the time. Just use the towel to open it up.
I read paper towels are actually quite porous and don't help much
When that's possible, I prefer it. But my office unfortunately uses those stupid air dryers by Dyson. I petitioned TWICE to replace them, and failed both times... *sobs*
