It’s both a hazard for emergencies as well as a hygienic nightmare. We all see the people leaving without washing their hands!

I believe it’s to do with hand cleanliness. When you enter, you push the door as your hands are dirty (maybe shove it with your arm or something), then when you leave your hands are (supposed to be) clean so you pull the door as it’s a nice clean handle to grab.
I don’t get it either, but that’s what I’ve heard as the reason.
So then we need saloon doors that swing both ways?
I actually think this or just a double hinged *kitchen style" door is the best answer
or use some kind of baffle
If I’m sure about one thing, it’s that people are disgusting. I’d much rather avoid touching the door after using the toilet when my hands are clean. And even in the case that the door is disgusting, you can wash your hands both before and after.
