Whenever I enter a public bathroom, whether at work or at a restaurant, I hate to touch the door leading to the toilet seat. Worse than that the inner door handle!!
If you think about the action that goes on - A person enters (assuming his hands are clean) and shuts the toilet's door. He takes care of business (whether no.1 or no. 2, it does not really matter) and then touches the door handle with that dirty hand as he exits, washes his hands (hopefully) and leaves the bathroom.
When the next person comes in and shuts the door from the inside, he is in fact touching that dirty handle and transferring that dirt to himself.
Imagine how dirty this handle must become as the day goes by!!!
How should one avoid this situation besides the obvious:
Avoiding public bathrooms, or using a tissue when touching anything in the bathroom!
Shouldn't they have some sort of anti bacterial / viral spray above the door handle?
We really need to do something about this !!!

Umm...Eww! :P Thank you for changing my whole perspective towards public bathrooms. (Kudos to your post for making me post my first comment in months) :D
I know it's gross but as long as you keep in mind that your hand IS dirty, all you need to do is get in, get out then wash your hand before you do something like rub your eyes :P
Dyxio- Thanks for your comment
3baid- The major problem lies between Shutting&locking the door and taking care of business. Your hands will be contaminated as soon as you shut the door and it will be difficult not to touch anything after that.
I totally agree. That's why I never use public bathrooms unless absolutely necessary.
Yes that IS nasty! The worst is when you see people walking out of a bathroom without washing their hands. That's even grosser coz what if you meet that person and you come into contact with them after?
Hi,
This is off-topic but I'm working on a research project about the Kuwait blogs and was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking my survey? Full details are below:
--
My name is Noor Ali-Hasan and I am a graduate student at the University of Michigan School of Information. As part of my master's thesis project, I am currently conducting a study about bloggers and their social networks. Based on your blog, you have been selected to participate in a short online survey about blogging. To qualify for the survey, you must meet the following qualifications:
* Be at least 18 years of age
* Currently keep a blog
* Have a blog that contains a blogroll and/or allows comments
* Have a blog that is part of the Kuwait Blogs community
Your participation is completely voluntary. The survey should take about ten to thirty minutes to complete. You may access the survey at this address:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?A=120826072E1053
All survey data will be kept confidential. The study's findings will be reported in aggregates and will not be used to identify a specific person. If you have any questions about this survey, please email me at nooraz@umich.edu.
Your time and participation is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Thanks for brining up this issue, I've always been discusted and what I do is either have somebody else open the door and I slide through with them, or like u said, take a tissue and open it with it. Now, what public bathroom makers CAN do is have a door with no handle...the swinging type, that way you can use ur body or leg :>
I really don't know why, but I started thinking this way after having children before than I really couldn't care less. It seems its something that comes with getting old
Dude, you've got OCD.
Hey!
I am totally agree with ur opinion and any one who is using public bathroom, must use tissue to open that inner side handle...
To tell you the truth I was thinking about this exat thing a few days ago. Now that I realize the date of your post.. you've thought about it way before I have.
Anywho, higene is very important.
I think that there is a Belgium or French guy who invented a very interesting solution for this issue, a special handle that you push with your arm, I don't remember where I saw that but I'll check it out and put it on my blog!
actually ur absolutly right but then who cares to do these things?? we just have to live with it through our life personly i try as much as possibly to not go i just hate it!!!;D
