Well, not really backwards, but wrong. I was in a state of the art office building yesterday complete with hand sanitizing stations. However, the entrances to the restrooms were push entry but exiting required touching the beautiful brushed chrome handle. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of thoroughly washing your hands?
The contractors/architects should consider switching the handles. Let me touch the door when my hands are presumable grubby and germ infested. Then when I exit, theoretically squeaky clean, I can just lean into the door preserving my germ free status.
And yes, I know there are many NASTY people who do not wash their hands after using the restroom, but that is a whole other drama. I think it should be perfectly acceptable to point these people out to everyone, especially in restaurants, for the gross, thoughtless, germy jerks that they are. No one wants them handling the menus, the tables and door handles. Ewww, yuck!
