A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

They should have a trash can outside the type of public restrooms where you have to turn a door handle to get out so you can throw away a paper towel if you use it to open the door. (self.showerthoughts)

Even doctor's offices don't do it. I get that it could mean double the trash to empty if you have one both inside and outside, but just for the purposes of public health...

They should just all have those foot handles.

That's what I was thinking. But also, those bathrooms that have a turn at the entrance so you don't need a door are helpful. Walmart, and other places, often have a bathroom with no door. Not practical for everywhere.

The foot handles are great, but they sick if you have nice shoes. Even padded ones - which are rare - can easily rub through and you can find yourself with a ruined pair of nice shoes.
