One of the positives from the covid pandemic is a lot of bathroom doors can be opened with your foot now.
Also the return of paper towels for hand drying.
I hate those stupid air dryers. Most of them barely do any better than just shaking your hands in the air, because they’re simply spraying your clean hands with all of the shit and piss particles that are floating in the air.
Would rather have some cheap paper towels so I can dry my hands, and use the towel to open the door before throwing it in the trash.
Unless you’re immunocompromised, is this really worth worrying about?
Yes. It’s one of the biggest vectors for contagions. But since disease takes a while to become evident, most people don’t associate their sickness with the actual source of transmission.
Bathroom doors specifically, not just doors in general? Edit: I looked it up and I guess it’s about bacteria like E. Coli, that makes sense. It’s weird, because people on Reddit/Lemmy always talk about using these tricks to avoid touching things, but IRL I’ve never seen anyone do it or heard anynone talk about it
That’s because there are so few of us.
99.9999% of Germany still lives in Toilet Paper Era and rejects to even allow a tiny bit of progressive thinking on that matter into their chain of thoughts.
