    Unless there’s something super contagious (e.g. COVID) going around you’re not going to get sick from a door handle. Stop being an irrational germaphobe.

      So? Like a their to half of people (sorry don’t remember the stat, just remember being shocked how high it was) do not wash their hands after using the toilet.

      Why would I want to touch that doorhandle.

          Not arguing that. Of course there’s worse things.

          But you must also acknowledge that it’s trivial to make this a non-issue. For example, I’ve seen lots of places where the door opens outwards with a kick. Or, even better (if slightly less space efficient) just have no door at all, and instead a short entrance with two 90 degree turns.

          I think this is something that more and more places do anyways, basically any modern-ish place I’ve been to in recent years do the no-door-thing.
