Toilets, why is the handle always on the inside of the door?

Most doors into buildings and rooms generally open inwards for emergency purposes i think? It's much easier for the fire service or police or whatever to break down a door that opens inwards because you only have to break the lock rather than smash through the whole door or knock the frame off the wall. I know toilets aren't locked generally but maybe it is something related to this. Also a fire hose is more likely to get stuck if it's being pulled through a door in a direction that pulls the door closed rather than pulling it open.

Pretty sure they're supposed to open outwards so it is easier for the people inside to escape. The fire service don't care which way the doors open when they get there, they have all sorts of options for getting to where they want in the building.

Sterile things don't clean things, you are thinking of antiseptics / antibacerials that are used to make something sterile.

If you sprayed something in a sterile liquid (ie urine) then it would be just as dirty as before, no more, no less.

I can never understand that if urine is sterile why dose it leave such a rank smell :confused:

I always find it funny washing hands AFTER you use the toilet...where as before you touch everything bad, then touch your willy...wash them before, touch your willy, then wash them after, yet even washing them after your going out, touching the doors and touching other ppls willys and germs as most dont wash their hands...kick the door open...jobs a good un.:p

Did anyone see the TV program where they showed what happens when you flush the toilet after a No.2?

Slow motion poo particles flying upward in a mini mushroom shaped cloud wasn't a nice thing!

Can someone translate this?
 
mythbusters did a simalar test, where they left toothbrushes in the bathroom to see if particles of poop etc settled on the toothbrushes, and they did !!! so those of you who have your toothbrushes showers and toilet all in one room, your brushing your mouth/teeth with poop! ha

@ cactuscake....yes

you should wash your hands BEFORE you touch your willy, as your opening a door, as to which most people touch and do not wash their hands, then you touch your willy, so youve touched the nasty door then touched your willy!....yet everyone always says wash them AFTER....but its too late then... lol...wash them after and your hands will be clean, untill you touch that door again....your willy wont be clean either if you dont wash them before.

Wear rubber gloves when you go to the toilet, sure people may look at you funny but you'll have the last laugh when they get aids!
 
I usually wash but if there's no soap etc, I don't worry cos I always figure, it's clean enough to put in a few other places other than my hand...
