    first off, the clean handle should be on top. the nasty handle shouldn’t drip onto the clean handle.

    second, as you are leaving a public bathroom, reach under your shirt/jacket (hopefully something untucked. ) use the fabric as a barrier for your hand and grab the handle with the front of the shirt/jacket.

      the clean handle should be on top

      I thought so at first too, but when you think about it, that’s the first handle everybody’s going to grab without reading the text, so that would defeat the purpose.

      But now you have dry urine smeared over your sleeves.

      Better than on my hands, but…

        i didnt say sleeves. the underside of the bottom of your shirt. or go to a haberdashery and get yourself a hanky.

          Ok. Your first one is “tomatoes, tomatos.” The second is my go-to solution of sorts as well: use a paper towel, open the door, and dump the paper towel in the nearest bin. This usually works more often than not.

      If you are lucky enough to have a paper towel dispenser, dry your hands with one, use it to open the door, then prop it open with a foot while you throw away the paper towel
