The germaphobia in me really want a version that is activated by a pedal that you step on.

But then, I'd probably be too afraid of shared water fountains to begin with.

I have to use paper towels to open doors, and probably use hand sanitizer afterwards on top of that. This is just... (no words to describe)

I'd rather not touch the bathroom door handle especially knowing quite a few people walk right out of a stall and skip the sink. It's a very easy way to get sick.

My brain decrees that touching a public door handle will kill me so this is my life 😓

You may want to talk to a psychiatrist about screening for OCD. There's nothing wrong with staying sanitary, but you deserve to live life without your brain forcing you to do things you don't want to =)

The bottle filler is activated by proximity. I think that's totally doable for the other part, too.

I just use my knuckles, maybe even with my sleeve or shirt covering them.
