I've had contamination OCD for the majority of my life, and this shit has been torture for me.

I've been trying to get a ADA accommodation to work from home because my job is in software, but the bastards over at HR think that clorox wipes and a dedicated cube will solve this shit. It's irritating as fuck that nobody in charge seems capable of piecing basic hygiene together.

If you simply cut your hands off these petty grievances will become a distant memory.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Meh, 5 second rule applies here.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 14 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

This is why I love those things at the bottom of the door that lets you open the door with your foot.

[–] k_rol@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

True, except in this picture, you have to pull the door to get out.

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 53 minutes ago

I know .. and unlock the door too!!! So I would only do that after and before i wash my hands.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes and I find it funny that I see them in some of the cheapest, bars & restaurants.

Sit at a bar and have $3 beer, there's a foot grab.

Sit at a sushi bar and get $150 bottle of sake, no foot grab. Bizzaro.

LOLNEIN has this catchy song about exactly that...

The bathrooms outside the lobby in my work building take this automatic crap a step further, with automatic soap machines. It's hit or miss if any given one will have soap at all. (Thankfully, we have another sink inside my work itself that employees can use, but guests are fucked.)

Then when they do dispense soap, it's the foam shit. So it looks like the sink just spit into my hands. Lovely.

This wouldn't be a problem if people actually washed their hands.

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I've witness a lot of people won't wash their hands after taking a piss. In fact some of them take a shit and just walk out without washing hands. These people then touch doors, windows, counters, food plates, appliances, evey fucking common surface... People in the office, corporate buildings, people in suits... so yeah, fuck people, they're fucking disgusting.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Less than 5% properly wash. We learned NOTHING from COVID. In fact, hygiene is even worse now.

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I agree, same goes for vaccinations, people are now much less likely to vaccinate their kids, which may lead to catastrophic consequences...

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Still would accumulate toilet aerosols over time, and would still be gross. The real solution is foot handles or no door

[–] fennesz12@feddit.dk 2 points 2 hours ago

I take it the janitors wash the door handle regularly, but yeah, automatic door would probably be better.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 hours ago

But then transgender ninjas can just walk in.

I refuse to associate with hand non-washers... Perchance, hermitage.

What a bunch of bastards.

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

One of my favourite anime characters of all time is named Remon :D She washes her hands, I'm sure...

[–] metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Your restrooms don't have automatic doors?

[–] notastatist@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

It would never funktion and would jail you for hours

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Even better if the door opens touchless on payment from the outside but has a handle to pull on the inside.

[–] Rcklsabndn@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago

People that are rich enough to pay to use a restroom never have germs on their hands anyways, so they just rinse their hands with warm water to participate in the quaint hand washing ritual that the poor insist on perpetuating.

[–] Kevlar21@piefed.social 25 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Turns out businesses don’t care about cleanliness or your safety beyond the point where it might affect their bottom line and just install touchless sinks and hand dryers to save money on water and paper towels

[–] ptu@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Using wads of paper towel and leaving the tap open waste resources. This is a prime example where being economical equates to being ecological.

[–] general_kitten@sopuli.xyz 2 points 6 hours ago

i work in a business with unlimited access to paper towels, it saddens me how much i have to throw away unused ones

Hey I'm an athlete but these foot pull doors are still extremely difficult. It strains your calf muscles, your hamstrings, your kegels, and your core. Opening heavy restroom doors with this spiky foot pull is not easy or fun or comfortable at all.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I never have a problem and I'm lazy with a large beer belly.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 13 points 5 hours ago

Our office has these and it's always been p. easy to open them. No idea why there is a discrepancy. Maybe something about the balance of the door?
