I have notice some people do not wash there hands after going to the bathroom, although I always do, I realize it is almost pointless because the moment I touch the door knob to leave the bathroom I am recontaminating myself, and even though some washrooms have tried to deal with this problem by removing
doors altogether, I know I will encounter their peepee germs somewhere else like when I am forced to receive there money, or touch anything that is open to the public.
My idea it that hand sanitizer dispensers should be built into doorknobs in public areas from bathrooms to malls. When the knob is turned it would activate a pump inside the door and excrete a small amount of antibacterial hand sanitizer onto the person hand through small porous holes covering the knob. In this way anyone entering a public area would have germ free hands unless they choose to wipe the sanitizer on their pants.

Isn't it fun to imagine what the last person *not* to wash their hands is leaving on that handle? |
|
| |
Maybe mandatory sensor-based or foot-triggered door openers would be a less grody solution to having the door slime everyone on their way out. |
|
| |
Or strategic placement of trash bins, so it's easy to use your paper towel to open the door and toss it on your way through (as I often do). |

Instead of pulling a Home Alone and sterilizing through heat, couldn't the same be done with a massive dosage of radiation? |
|
| |
Sure, this'd lead to cancer eventually, and radiation-resistant bacteria are bound to spring up, but sniffly noses would be gone forever! |
|
| |
What about cleaning your hands just outside the bathroom? |
|
| |
Why, that's accomplished via osmosis from your frosty, sweating beer. |

Yuck. Could have been worse though, I suppose. You could have said "ejaculate". |

I saw this product advertised in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Weekly. |

Personaly, I was always taught NOT to pee on my hands. And I shower regularly so it's not Mr. winky doing the contaminating. I'd be more worried about what was already on my hands. |

You say it like it's a bad thing.... Why? |
|
| |
I like [breuk1]'s suggestion. A sink outside the bathroom (and one inside, too) would solve the problem. |

While you were in the bathroom, or before you got there? |
