DITTO!!! Also, if the trash can is on the other side of the restroom after I have used the paper towel to open the door I will just launch it on the floor. The trash can should always be right by the door, and the door should be on the push swing instead of pull to let you out of the bathroom in public. I have never understood why you would do it any other way. Unless of course there were space constraints to consider.
Here in Texas at some of the public parks they put up little signs that say don't use your foot to work the flush levers because it causes damage and ups park fees. I say "too bad" as I kick the button.
I saw a really interesting MythBusters once about fecal coliform bacteria contamination. They set up this big experiment with toothbrushes located in various areas of their studio, and were suprised to find that the contamination rates were just about the same whether the toothbrushes were next to the toilet or next to the coffee pot.
