Ewwwww. Now I gotta go find the hand sanitizer.

Simpsonfan2 – that’s why there is toilet paper.

Joe flushes with his foot. Now he’s stymied by a door with a knob. Paper towel time.

Why haven’t “they” figured that one out yet? And most restroom doors open to the inside so you can’t just push it with your backside to get out.

But this is soooo stupid. If you’re concerned about the germs on the door knob from some prior person that didn’t wash properly, then what about every other object you might touch once you leave the bathroom?

The more thoughtful bathroom-setters-up have a wastebasket by the door so you can throw the towel in after you’ve opened the door. Otherwise, you may have to carry the towel back to your restaurant table or whatever.

Didn’t they do this joke before?

That’s why I use the paper towel I just used to turn the handle in any place that doesn’t look clean or in hospitals. :-s

At the local casinos, they solve that last problem by not having doors. They have walls that hide the restroom from public view and the noise of the casino floor hides any unpleasant sound.

If there are no paper towels, I use the bottom of my shirt to open the door.

I hook a pen around the door handle and pull, as long as it a pullable door.

If I read that on the door I wouldn´t be concerned about the germs – on the doorknob.

olddog1, RIGHT ON! I am very careful in public places. And if there isn’t a trash can by the door in the restroom when I open the door with my paper towel, I throw it on the floor. So be it! Get a hint, establishments!

And BTW, I “hover” over the toilet seat! No way in H—- am I sitting on a toilet seat in a public restroom!

people forget that they turned the water on with with thier hands before they washed them. A lot of places have automatic faucets but this place does not

At least he washed his hands.
