    In my country it is illegal to have bathroom doors open to the inside. Same with doors leading outside. It was weird to move abroad as I couldn’t get used to them opening the other way.

      It’s unsafe for doors to open into hallways, so you need to design alcoves for every entrance otherwise, so far more space is wasted.

      Also, use paper to open the door, and a lot of places have foot pulls now, easier for handicapped people as well.

      The best entrance, especially for handicapped people, is a maze entrance, but uses even more space.

      I’ve seen a lot of places add those foot pull handles to doors since COVID. Not the best, but it’s a solution

      This is an additional reason I hate places that use air driers instead of paper towels

    Theoretically, if everyone did the Yes, the But wouldn’t be that big of a But.

    Sadly, I’m well aware not everyone does the Yes. Going into a men’s public bathroom is disgusting; it’s disgraceful how many men I’ve seen leave without washing.
