What psychopath architects are still designing bathrooms that you have to pull the door open in order to leave? (lemmy.world)

It’s both a hazard for emergencies as well as a hygienic nightmare. We all see the people leaving without washing their hands!

I've only seen doorless toilets in large well ventilated spaces such as some train stations. I don't think that would go well inside a shopping mall or a restaurant

I got through most of the post/comments thinking this was about stall doors...

Eh, it's unclear honestly. After reading some comments I realised op maybe meant the direction in which doors open, not the fact that you have to open doors. I don't know

Most bathrooms have foot pulls now, it's not a perfect solution for everyone but it's better than the alternative.

Most? I do see them often but you definitely live in a different place than I do.

Central Florida.

My shoes are smooth enough to make it impossible to get a grip on them. Not to mention trying to balance while pulling it. Some bathrooms have an arm pull, dobt know how hygienic it is.

Toilet doors should face outward, so you can save someone who's in distress inside.

I can see this for a stall (think someone falling over and blocking the door, or one of those really tight bathroom stalls where you really have to shimmy to get yourself into the stall), a bathroom door itself not as much.
