Let's say you use your arm to push the restroom door as you exit, but (lets say you're at a restaurant) the waiter that brings you your silverware or plate or beverage does not use his arm, just uses his hands... you're still getting all germed up.

I see a lot of this at my office. Co-workers use the restroom, wash their hands, then use a paper towel to pull open the door. Then they go to the coffee machine and grab the pot of coffee and the guy who grabbed the coffee pot before him (maybe) didn't wash his hand at all or used his bare hands to open the restroom door.

You do your best to avoid the germs, but they're everywhere.

I do the paper towel thing as well.

In fact I've noticed more and more there is a waste bin next to the door for that exact reason.

Years ago I worked in this small studio.

Every day at lunch I would buy a big bag of popcorn and leave it on my desk and anyone that wanted some was free to help themselves. The first person to do so every day was Billy. He'd dig in with both hands.

The mens room had a sink, 1 urinal, 1 crapper.

One day I go in and the crapper is being used, while I'm doing my business at the urinal I hear the sounds of someone finishing up.

Billy walks out of the crapper, says hi and walks right out of the bathroom bypassing the sink.

I went back to my desk and tossed the last bag of popcorn I ever bought while working there.

When people enquired why no more popcorn I just responded, "you're better off not knowing"
