What psychopath architects are still designing bathrooms that you have to pull the door open in order to leave?
It’s both a hazard for emergencies as well as a hygienic nightmare. We all see the people leaving without washing their hands!

Anything in public should be assumed to be dirty. If its not me fuckin it up someone else will.
That's the spirit—things suck anyway so you might as well contribute, right? You're an inspiration to us all.
Its impossible for things in public to be clean. I am not making things worse. I am just not neurotically worrying about things that dont affect me.
You are. Roughly 48 million food borne illnesses per year in the US, in large part due to people not washing their hands.

Also Noro-virus:

A large part of prevention is handwashing.
Also, Cholera:

Have a guess what prevention step 2 is.
You go around with shit particles on your hand, infecting everything. You're a typhoid Mary. Even if you've never been ill after eating some food (which I find unlikely) it's not unlikely that you have made people ill, and maybe even killed someone with a weakened immune system.
I'm not in the us so relax.
The US has relatively low levels of food borne diseases. It was an example.
Also parasites, like hookworm:

Up to a quarter of a billion people are infected worldwide, in large part due to poor hygiene.
Then there's round worm, likely a billion people infected globally. Once again, due to poor sanitation and hygiene aka handwashing.
But hey, you do you.
Just know that at this point you might as well stick your thumb up a strangers ass then lick it. It's fundamentally not that different to not caring about washing off shit particles before eating food.
Mate people are eating a different strangers ass each week. These people never get sick because it builds up the immune system
As mentioned above, people get sick in large numbers, and many die.
You can't 'build up your immune system' by eating literal shit.
You can't prevent cholera or a parasitic infection by licking toilet seats either.
I mean, seriously. Don't believe me, go eat an actual turd. See how you feel.
Look at the difference in sick days between a construction worker and an office workers. Spending your whole life trying to avoid germs is a futile battle.
