I like the doors that have the "safe escape" things at the bottom, where you hook your foot on it and open the door that way.
I do that too and use Hand Sanitizer.

Depends on the restroom I'm using. Some public restrooms are so filthy that they've got to be more unhealthy for you than anything I've got in my pants.

Meh

You would love hand sanitizer if you work in the mall. There is a private bathroom in my mom's store, but I still need to use public restroom sometimes. Hand sanitizer is useful.

and please share your stories on any of these subjects if you like

I think not washing hands and cleanliness or lack thereof has become a serious problem in America.
I do have to laugh that many people wash their hands, but some don't. Of those who do wash their hands they then throw out the paper towel then touch the door handle (think those who don't wash their hands). I've always said they need a garbage can on the outside of the door. I always use my paper towel and look for a garbage can.

What is this doing in the politics anyway?

I wash my hand religiously at home, love the no hands sinks.... if it's regular sink I don't even want to touch the door handle on the way out let alone use the sink. I just don't see how people constantly touching the same handle with both dirty and clean hands could possibly be clean.

I agree, what I do, if there are paper towels in the bathroom, after I dry my hands, I use the paper towel to open the door. A lot of us do that, the only other suggestion is, carry wet naps with you?

Seems like a no brainer to me... I would think everyone does. Unfortunately I know they don't, we have several here at the office that don't. Just gross...

can't agree with you more....what we need to start doing is embarrass people when they don't, call them on it....ask them, "did you forget to wash your hands?"

Yes. I'm disgusted when I see people not doing so.
