Um, here's an easy solution that makes everyone happy: put a trashcan by the damn door.

[–]qualiaqq 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Another easy solution is to have one of these foot handles things, which is great for doors that cannot open outward for safety reasons.

[–]AtTheLeftThere 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

until you get hit in the face because of someone coming in while you're trying to get your foot on the thing.

[–]MontrealUrbanist 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Even easier: have the door swing the other way so you can just push it open with your elbow

[–]Tempest_Rex 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Most places I believe that would be a code violation. The door opens inwards in case of fire the door cant be blocked from opening from the outside where a trapped person wouldn't be able to clear it.

[–]jholiterate 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Make the door swing in both directions!

[–]billnyethewifiguy 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

My work bathroom does this. It's so rare but so awesome. It's the small things, man.

[–]Tyrannosaurus-WRX 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree, but the reason you never see this in the USA at least is because fire code typically dictates that rooms with a single exit need to have the door open into the room rather than open out. This is so the door cannot be blocked in case you need to escape.

Source: heard about it from a drunk fireman. Could be bullshit but it sounds plausible

Because peoples hands are always clean when they enter the bathroom? Come on.

[–]MontrealUrbanist 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It doesn't matter if you touch the handle on the way in, you're going to be washing your hands anyway.

Came here for this comment. In food service you are trained to open doors with a towel. Probably have a former food service worker going "where the fuck is the trash can?"

[–]imthegoddamnbatman- 20 ポイント21 ポイント  (11子コメント)

are you? Never been told that

[–]smasters908 13 ポイント14 ポイント  (1子コメント)

That's because it isn't true.

[–]guitmusic11 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's supposed to be. Pretty standard for food service.

[–]Npf6 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (8子コメント)

My Dad used to do it whenever we were using public restrooms when me and bro were young. I also got recomended to do it when I worked fast food for a while.

People here are losing their shit, and to be honest I'm not sure why. Its one paper towel on the ground. Not like someone took a shit in the sink or something. Or there is a homeless guy shooting crack in the stall and leaving used needles in the toilet bowl.

Like jesus christ people, get a grip.

[–]SighReally12345 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

LOL come work here where 3x a day it looks like someone emptied out the paper towel dispenser on the floor. When confronted, the culprits say dumb stuff such as "That's why he gets paid" or "I don't pick shit up off the floor"

[–]Npf6 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (6子コメント)

So is that a societal problem?? Like is ruining the world? Jesus fuck its gonna happen. Don't get all up on your high horse and pretend that this is like a major problem.

[–]SighReally12345 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (5子コメント)

You said, basically, "It's one paper towel on the ground, stop losing your shit". I said, basically, "yeah, until a bunch of assholes do it". I didn't make any of the claims you made. I just call out the assholes and laugh at their bs.

Frankly though - the idea that "It's ok to just litter because reasons" is fucking stupid.

[–]Npf6 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

sigh Really? You think that they are assholes because there happens to not be a trash can near the door? I believe that people should pick up after themselves, but at the risk of my personal health, if I cannot throw away that towel reasonably and have to put it on the ground, so be it. Put a fucking trash can near the door and move on to real issues in the workplace.

[–]SighReally12345 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (3子コメント)

... I think anyone who litters is an asshole. Are you fucking stupid in thinking that it's ok to litter?

I mean... you can't take the towel outside the bathroom and throw it out later? Your literal only choice is "nope, gotta throw it on the floor"?

Yeah ok.

[–]Npf6 -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Are you fucking stupid to think that is such a big deal.

Your new job is to stand at the door with a trashcan and pickup those towels. That way you can stop the littering the destruction of poor mother earth!

Have fun with that.

[–]Nothing_Impresses_Me 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Still no excuse to throw it in the floor or leave it in the door. Not hard to carry it with you 10 feet.

[–]seasond 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (4子コメント)

I'm with you. My company took away the trash can by one of the bathroom doors, so I made a point to throw my paper towel on the ground for a few days. They didn't get the hint, so I quit doing it, since I felt like an asshole.

[–]8aj 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not sure to downvote because you admitted to doing something an asshole would, or upvote because you admitted it and stopped. So you get neither!

[–]Kiriamleech 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why not just tell them?

[–]seasond -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Irrational fears of being targeted. I feel like maintenance and janitorial services personnel are one snide comment away from a mass homicide.

[–]RichardPwnsner 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

FWIW, you really were, so good on you.

[–]Chief_SquattingBear 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Until then, don't throw your trash on the floor.

How hard is it to throw it away at the next can you see?

[–]Poemi 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, at my office, I'd have to walk out the bathroom, past the elevators, past a bunch of coworkers, and then either into the kitchen or past more coworkers to my desk before passing a trash can. That's not really a practical solution. It's one step shy of having toilet paper trailing out of your pants.

[–]-Icaria- 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Or the fucker wasting and leaving towels everywhere could just un-tuck their shirt for 10 seconds and use that to open the door.

[–]Poemi 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You use the towel that you dried your hands with. No (extra) wasting involved.

[–]SleepTalkerz 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Surely I can't be the only here who opens the door with the towel, uses my foot to hold the now opened door, then turns around and fires the crumpled up towel over to the trashcan like I'm shooting a three-pointer.

If basketball was played with crumpled up paper towels, I'd be the next Larry Bird.

[–]boobers3 -3 ポイント-2 ポイント  (17子コメント)

The easier solution is for people to stop being fucking idiots. You aren't going to die or likely even get sick from touching a door knob/handle.

[–]Poemi 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Sure, that attitude works really well until you're standing next to a nasty-ass coworker who stands there and drains his lizard, takes his hand off his dick and flushes the urinal, then walks straight to the door and puts tiny bits of his and everyone else's cockgerms all over the handle you have to touch to open.

[–]boobers3 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (12子コメント)

Bitch, please. I've gone months without bathing because of Marine Corps boot camp, do you know what got me sick? The initial exposure to hundreds of new germs when I first arrived on the island.

I went 3 weeks in the field in the middle of the North Carolina summer heavily sweating 12-18 hours a day without bathing and not only did I not get sick, but no one else did either.

Unless your coworker is shitting in your mouth or on your food, yo aren't likely to get sick just because you're standing next to them as they pee. Shit, try being jammed into a single porta-potty with 4 other men all trying to pee in the same shit hole with 3 of you standing on top while the other two try to squeeze in side by side.

Our bodies have been developing for millions of years to fight off germs you would encounter in the wild without medical care, proper nutrition, shelter, or clothing. You'll be fine touching a fucking door handle.

[–]Poemi 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (11子コメント)

I've gone months without bathing because of Marine Corps boot camp

Can you explain that please? My impression was that the Corp taught recruits to be clean, and in fact punished those who weren't.

[–]boobers3 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (10子コメント)

They teach you how to bathe by the numbers... when you get the time. there are about 20 shower heads for up to 90 recruits and you all have to bathe at the same time so what happens is they all get turned on and you all quickly walk under them. What actually winds up happening is your platoon lines up in front of the doors and your DI starts to quickly count down from 120 and you momentarily pass by the water and you might get an arm or leg wet as you rush by as your DI quickly counts down.

What I thought was a deep tan on my skin actually wound up being caked on dirt from months of not properly bathing, I only found out when I finally got the opportunity to wash my hands in a sink.

[–]Poemi 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (9子コメント)

Well, you're right about new germs being the most likely source of infection. But since I don't have genital herpes, and some other people do...I see no reason to touch something that has effectively had a stranger's dick on it just a few seconds before.

[–]boobers3 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (8子コメント)

Are you rubbing yourself against the infected area of the person? You aren't going to get dick warts from touching a door knob. Metals are acidic, germs can't survive on them thus door knobs (many of which are made from metal) naturally kill germs.

[–]Poemi 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Sure, a few hours later, most bacteria will have dehydrated and succumbed to ph differences, and viruses will have decomposed. That's why I specifically said "a few seconds before". Germs can live on much less forgiving surfaces than a doorknob for a few seconds.

Now, is it terribly likely? Not really. But if I'm going to wash my hands anyway, and be holding a paper towel to dry them as I walk out...why not avoid touching that doorknob since it takes no additional effort on my part?

[–]boobers3 -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (6子コメント)

Because you are literally doing no more good than if you just walked out. You dry your hands on the paper towel and carefully avoid touching the door knob, then go to your computer and bathe your hands in germs that have been multiplying for days on your keyboard and mouse.

It's like being meticulous about having safe sex, using a condom, and mouth barrier, then stabbing your dick with a syringe full of HIV positive heroin junky blood.

[–]warmingglow 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not likely to get sick after touching something someone else touched after wiping their ass? How do you think germs are transferred from human to human? Have you never seen those statistics about how much e coli and fecal matter they find in office environments?

[–]boobers3 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

How do you think germs are transferred from human to human?

By human contact of course, that includes just breathing the same air as someone. You don't need to make physical contact with a person to spread germs around. No you aren't likely to get sick from touching a door knob, door knobs are acidic and kill germs. In fact that door knob probably have less germs than the paper towel which has been sitting in a bathroom full of fecal particulates floating around.

Have you never seen those statistics about how much e coli and fecal matter they find in office environments?

Yeah, there's more germs on your mouse or keyboard than on the bath room door knob.

Yeah, good thing OCD is rational
