If one is lucky the door is in the right location so that you can use the paper towel to open it and then toss it into the basket. This is only the case about 20% of the time though!! The rest is like playing "TWISTER" trying to get out without recontaminating your hands!! LOL
....
That's why I carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my purse so I don't have to play that "TWISTER" game ..... !!
In my Dentist office the bathrooms you touch nothing everything including trash can you just wave your hand.... it is really cool !
I want one of those trash cans.... be neat to put into kitchen, you know for those times when your hands are a mess and not free to open the lid....

You didn't use that particular porta potty, did you? YIKES--that is beyond gross.

A study was done culturing the bottom of women's purses--the germs and cooties on the bottom of purses would make you run for the hills! I never set my purse on my kitchen counter any longer.
I know I have said this before. Having a Safety Food Managers License, we learned in class that after you wash your hands, never let go of the paper towel until you are outside the bathroom.
Don't touch the handle on the toilet with your hand, use your foot or your elbow but not your hands. The most dirty part of the entire bathroom excluding the toilet itself is the door handle inside the stall. Ohhh!
I try to avoid using public restrooms at all costs. Hate to diss my own gender but ladies how are some of you getting pee on the seat?! I definitely avoid the ones that I have found smell like a zoo.
That policy of washing hands, using a paper towel to turn the water off, and then using it to open the door was suggested to us with signage at my old call center job. I never got sick following this mantra, while others around me were constantly ill. Good one to live by.

I don't why but they say most women restrooms are filthier then men room.
I'll use them as a last resort, but when I do..I always wash my hands and then kick the door open. I don't touch a thing after I wash my hands
While I know that there are places that don’t clean their public restroom very well or keep it stocked with paper towels, soap, or hot water, there are some other issues here to think about for a minute.
Many if not most public restrooms were cleaned first thing in the morning. It’s the general public that makes the mess in those rooms! These people live in your neighborhood, cities and towns. These are the ones that you live by and they are the very people who trash the restroom during the day. They don’t flush the toilet, they splash water all over the counters, they throw paper towels on the floor, they spill soap all over, they throw used toilet paper on the floor, they pee on the floor and they live in YOUR town and neighborhood most of the time! People in our society are pigs and worse.
'Just try and remember to grab a fresh towel on your way out to use on the handle. I always a handkerchief in my purse for this purpose.
There are many nasty things out there that we touch. I always use my knuckle to press for a 'walk' sign (and elevator buttons). I hate to touch stair railings, and if I don't have the handkerchief then I usually climb without touching it at all. I use the handkerchief to grab onto a strap in the bus or train.
It may come to the point where rubber gloves will be in fashion.
