OK, this one goes back to even when I was a little kid.
I've spent the day out and about and have been forced to use several different public restrooms, and so have confronted this problem throughout the day. Here's how this works out.
#1. I like keeping my hands clean.
#2. I wash my hands after using the restroom.
#3. I am then confronted with a door that must be PULLED open.
Why is this??? OK, sometimes I can grab a paper towel and open the door with that -- but in two restrooms today that was not an option!! (blow-dry hand dryers) This seems like a very obvious hygiene issue -- at least one to this one-time 5-year-old girl. I admit it -- I'm a bit "Monkish" but hasn't the CDC been on us lately about washing hands -- and we know door handles are . . . ughhhhhh . . . . ewwwww. . . because not everyone pays attention to point #2.
Anyway;
A. In the event of fire, aren't doors supposed to open out?
B. Haven't they perfected the swinging door?
C. Couldn't the doors just swing IN not OUT -- I've seen it done!!
