I thought this thread was going to be about the cubicle doors opening the wrong way – I experienced one of them that didn’t have a lock on it so I used my foot to hold it closed but it just swang wide open for all to see me hovering (not wanting to place my bum on the seat) to do you know what!
But, yes, I too think about all those doors that you have to open once you’ve washed your hands! problem with them opening outward is that you could quite easily boot a door and there be a person going to pull it open from the other side. this would with hit them in the face (worse-case) or break their hand!
