Grab the handle with your butt cheeks. it’s a talent/skill you can hone
I use my scrotum like an oven mitt
i didn’t know we had someone blessed by the tanuki in our midst
I personally use my dick to whip it like Indiana Jones.
This thread renforces my theory that hygienism is a bastard of capitalism. So much useless worries but in the same time so lucrative
Touchless sinks are the worst fucking tech ever. Shit never works, and when it does, it never gives you enough water to get a good hand wash
And it never gives you warm water
You have to ask nicely!
Geez I guess some people never go outside into the world of germs
Not to mention if everyone washed their hands properly, that door handle is clean.
Have you met people? There’s stupid fucks out there who take pride in being disgusting assholes who don’t wash their hands.
There were people going maskless during covid because they already caught covid and were only interested in protecting themselves.
There were people that raged at others wearing masks because they felt entitled to see their faces or some stupid shit.
It’s harder to tell a woman she’d be prettier if she smiled if you can’t see her mouth.
I’ve had contamination OCD for the majority of my life, and this shit has been torture for me.
I’ve been trying to get a ADA accommodation to work from home because my job is in software, but the bastards over at HR think that clorox wipes and a dedicated cube will solve this shit. It’s irritating as fuck that nobody in charge seems capable of piecing basic hygiene together.
Sounds like someone needs a motivational metaphor to make HR feel what it’s like to sit in a very uncomfortable situation, such as a stinkbomb in their office.
Raw fish in the air ducts is IMO a better choice
This is why I love those things at the bottom of the door that lets you open the door with your foot.
Yes and I find it funny that I see them in some of the cheapest, bars & restaurants.
Sit at a bar and have $3 beer, there’s a foot grab.
Sit at a sushi bar and get $150 bottle of sake, no foot grab. Bizzaro.
True, except in this picture, you have to pull the door to get out.
I know … and unlock the door too!!! So I would only do that after and before i wash my hands.
This wouldn’t be a problem if people actually washed their hands.
I’ve witness a lot of people won’t wash their hands after taking a piss. In fact some of them take a shit and just walk out without washing hands. These people then touch doors, windows, counters, food plates, appliances, evey fucking common surface… People in the office, corporate buildings, people in suits… so yeah, fuck people, they’re fucking disgusting.
Less than 5% properly wash. We learned NOTHING from COVID. In fact, hygiene is even worse now.
I agree, same goes for vaccinations, people are now much less likely to vaccinate their kids, which may lead to catastrophic consequences…
Still would accumulate toilet aerosols over time, and would still be gross. The real solution is foot handles or no door
But then transgender ninjas can just walk in.
I take it the janitors wash the door handle regularly, but yeah, automatic door would probably be better.
But we don’t.
Who the fuck is “we”!?
Society
I refuse to associate with hand non-washers… Perchance, hermitage.
Problem is you never know who it is, we shake hands with some one, there is a pretty strong chance they haven’t washed hands since a while, before peeing, after luneating sandwich. You never know. You just assume society is civil enough that people will.
I’ve seen it many times at my job… People go to the bathroom (number 2, by the way!!!) and just walk straight out of the door. Not even water, certainly no soap, just walk out of the bathroom. It’s genuinely disturbing… Oh well!
People.
What a bunch of bastards.
One of my favourite anime characters of all time is named Remon :D She washes her hands, I’m sure…
If you simply cut your hands off these petty grievances will become a distant memory.
Meh, 5 second rule applies here.
There is more shit on that handle than a toilet seat.
Ah yes, the final boss after washing your hands 😭
Mythbusters did a segment that showed the air dryers are more likely to spread germs. So it’s just awful all around
Environmental Health Officer here… I had a classmate who did a study on this, specifically the Dyson-type where you stick your hands in downwards.
Next time, take a look at what’s there in the 2mm gap on the bottom inside where the water, etc. collects, and where the forced air blows all that material. Remember to not breathe.
There’s a reason why we direct food businesses to use paper towels in the kitchen, not hand dryers. Also, because ain’t nobody got time to properly wash their hands for 30 seconds and then stand there completely drying their hands when they have 20+ chits on the go.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the majority of people don’t know how to wash their hands properly, especially under the nails (both men and women). They’ve just used the hand dryer. Now you use the hand dryer. Multiply that by how many days it is before these things actually get cleaned and sanitised only to be contaminated again by the first user until the next clean and sanitise, if ever. Humans are filthy. 💀
If they get cleaned and sanitized.
I highly doubt they do. They probably just get tested and tagged, and maybe to make sure the filters are cleaned/replaced. Otherwise, I really don’t know. Do the daily cleaners even wipe those down? I’ve more often seen people cleaning the traffic lights (3 times in my entire life) than I see anyone go near a hand dryer with a cloth (none).
The Dyson dryers certainly don’t get wiped. I’ve never seen one that wasn’t caked in some sort of gunk.
There’s a reason they removed them all in my country during covid and they never came back.
Do you guys still have them?Still have them all over the place in the US 🫠
Why am i not surprised…
Australia, yes. I especially hate the ones that have a button to turn on and have so little power that if you rubbed your hands together fast enough, they’d dry faster via friction than using the dryer.
Thank goodness we have takeaway towels dangling all over our bodies.
At least in your case it’s the more hygienic option.
These make more sense, tbh:
Hey I’m an athlete but these foot pull doors are still extremely difficult. It strains your calf muscles, your hamstrings, your kegels, and your core. Opening heavy restroom doors with this spiky foot pull is not easy or fun or comfortable at all.
I never have a problem and I’m lazy with a large beer belly.
Our office has these and it’s always been p. easy to open them. No idea why there is a discrepancy. Maybe something about the balance of the door?
The bathrooms outside the lobby in my work building take this automatic crap a step further, with automatic soap machines. It’s hit or miss if any given one will have soap at all. (Thankfully, we have another sink inside my work itself that employees can use, but guests are fucked.)
Then when they do dispense soap, it’s the foam shit. So it looks like the sink just spit into my hands. Lovely.
Why do they call them “handles” when you are supposed to open them with your foot?
Elbow for the doors and whatever I’m wearing for drying.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/the-bacterial-horror-of-the-hot-air-hand-dryer-2018051113823Turns out businesses don’t care about cleanliness or your safety beyond the point where it might affect their bottom line and just install touchless sinks and hand dryers to save money on water and paper towels
Using wads of paper towel and leaving the tap open waste resources. This is a prime example where being economical equates to being ecological.
i work in a business with unlimited access to paper towels, it saddens me how much i have to throw away unused ones
