In-sanitary logic
The other day I visited the local Wal*Mart while waiting in the return line with some friends I suddenly had the urge to "explore the facilities" (which I blame on the turkey and gravey the cafeteria served up). This restroom was pretty high tech. The toliet flushes by itself, the paper towels automatically dispense, even the soap and water are hands free. Thousands of dollars invested so that you and I can feel sanitary when we leave and continue our shopping experience. Here is the thing that gets me though. YOU STILL HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR! Hello, if one person decides that "hands free" means no hands, (i.e. they dont actually wash their hands) the whole process was in vein. The auto flush, the electric hand dryer, even that little tissue paper seat cover that fell in when you tried to set it down, all a waste of time because some grimey fingered bozo decided he was a lye-0-phobiac. So now the handle to the door (which for some reason opens in, heaven forbid we be able to push it open with our hips or legs or something) is covered in redneck trucker greese.
So really what was the point of all the sanitary gymnastics? Either make the door open out or put in an elec. door. Or you can just except the fact that your shopping at wal*mart your probably related to greesy george anyway so it's not that big of a deal.

*note the sarcasm* i absolutely adore public restrooms.
You are supposed to save a bit of paper towel, which auto-dispenses, to open the door with. Then you can throw it away at the nearest trash outside the rest room. BTW, many restrooms now have no doors--just a maze at the entrance to retain modesty.
Amen to paul's comment. And if they just have those air-dryers, I get pretty flexible and open the door with my foot. Which makes no sense at all since I'm one who touches everything, even and especially particularly sharp bushes. Hmm. Bright yellow food for thought.
