      Or doors that swing outward so you can push with your elbow or shoulder or foot or something

          The s shaped entrance is a lot more expensive to construct and consumes more space, so I understand them being very rare. But a simple foot thing is so easy to attach, why is it also rare?

            The S shape takes more space than a single door, but it is way cheaper to build than a door.

              are curvy walls not harder to build than installing a mass produced door in a rectangle frame?

                The s shape that I’m familiar with is generally referring to squared walls that have a S shaped path where the walls don’t allow for a direct line of sight like this. But yes, curved walls would also be easier than framing and hanging doors.

          Most places I’ve seen bathrooms with outward opening doors have them set back in an alcove so that it’s not opening into a general walkway.

      I loved the things they put to open doors with your feet during covid, just little metal nubs.

      In the rare case I could catch one with the tread on my shoes, the door closing mechanism was too powerful to actually pull the stupid door open. If I have to lean into pulling it open with my hand, some friction surface for my toes isn’t going to work.

      The crazy thing about doors you open with your foot is that premium areas like airport lounges have them. Like, rich people know they’re good, so they put them in spaces they go, but nah not for your average public facility enjoyer

    My “favourite” ones are the Dyson ones where you have to do extra work by moving your hands up and down. Lol

      I was working in a brand new building and the Dyson air blade hand dryers there were amazing! They were so powerful that you only had to put your hand in, have it turn on and it wiped the water off your hand as you pulled out.

      I guess the awful ones haven’t been serviced like ever and aren’t strong or focused enough to do the job properly.

    Not only do they not dry your hands well, they spread germs all over the place.

      Wasn’t this shown to be biased info?

      Paper towel companies literally funding research which paints hand dryers in a had light, or something like that

    There’s currently a disinformation campaign happening between hand dryer and paper towel manufacturers and it is just the weirdest thing: [YT link]

    I’m a fan of those foot things that exist in some places now to pull the door open. Though every time I use one, I fear for a moment that if someone enters the bathroom at the same time I’m leaving, I’ll fall on my face.
