If they’re going to break the rule about washing hands they’re not going to follow the door handle one either.
I’ll just lick both handles to be safe
⬆️ Found patient zero, everyone.
That’s me actually after I have Sprucey lick my eyeball
I still wouldn’t trust either handle. People are assholes.
There are some folk who I went to school with I can see rubbing their assholes on the handles because “fuck you, you’re a sign not a cop”. I’m sure there’s a name for that disorder.
there should be a guy in every bathroom who body slams you into the pavement if you don’t wash your hands for 20 seconds with
warmsoap and waterPer the CDC
Use your preferred water temperature – cold or warm – to wash your hands. Warm and cold water remove the same number of germs from your hands. The water helps create soap lather that removes germs from your skin when you wash your hands. Water itself does not usually kill germs; to kill germs, water would need to be hot enough to scald your hands.
this whole time i had no idea… thank you. i’ll update the suggestion in light of this new information
Someone who’s too fuckin lazy to wash their hands isn’t gonna take the time to read anything in public.
first off, the clean handle should be on top. the nasty handle shouldn’t drip onto the clean handle.
second, as you are leaving a public bathroom, reach under your shirt/jacket (hopefully something untucked. ) use the fabric as a barrier for your hand and grab the handle with the front of the shirt/jacket.

Paper towel, always. No paper towels? That’s why you enter the bathroom with a napkin in your pocket.
This could easily be because the top handle is in a more convenient spot so everyone uses it and nobody uses the bottom one, I can’t think of a reason someone would be so inconsiderate as to not wash there hands but so altruistic that they go out of there way to use the inferior objectively worse handle. And human nature would say nobody is going to care about the slightly inconvenient option after it gets boring, don’t believe me? Then why do so many people choose the convenient less boring option of not washing their hands?
I think the two handles were just put in at different times, or are made of different materials.
If the top handle was “dirty” the discoloration would be localized around the gripping point
At least I know the top one is sanitized.
Just get the foot door opener thing I love those things
And the reason school bathrooms can’t just have kitchen doors that you can back into to open from either direction?
This is a game theory scenario:
-
I’m too lazy too lazy to wash my hands or don’t feel it’s necessary. Upon encountering this door I see both handles and decide to follow their instructions and open the door for unwashed hands. My hands are now unspeakably filthy as filthy people following the signs have accumulated a ton of germs on this handle. I get sick.
-
I was my hands, follow the signs and use the washed handle. Unbeknownst to me some unwashed game theorists decided that obviously the handle for washed hands would be cleaner so they used it without actually washing their hands first. It’s now also filthy.
-
I didn’t wash my hands, I don’t give a fuck about signs, use the one most convenient for me.
-
what if I do the opposite
This is probably a weird cropping, but I like to think this doors pushed open since there are no hinges on this side.
