This has bugged me for years. You know when you're out in a pub or restaurant, visit the toilet, do your business, wash your hands (making sure to depress the tap with your elbow), dry your hands (preferably with paper towels), then turn around to find that the door opens IN so you have to grab what is surely a filthy doorhandle in order to get out.
Fair enough in a busy pub you can just wait a few seconds and someone else is bound to come along, allowing you to keep the door open with your foot. Or you can (as I do) open the door with your little finger, but still, you're touching it. It really bugs me, what would be wrong with a door that swings out that you could just push with your foot? You go to all the trouble of washing and drying to have it all undone.
I know that you are still accepting change, leaning on the bar and myriad other things that are all probably just as unhygienic but this a psychologically tough one that could be easily remedied.
