Howdy,

Don't make people waste a good hand wash by having to touch a door on the way
out.

Maybe there's a good reason public toilets almost never have lids, but I can't
think of one.

<blockquote>The bacterial mist has also been shown to stay in the air for at
least two hours after each flush, thus maximizing its chance to float around
and spread (2). "The greatest aerosol dispersal occurs not during the initial
moments of the flush, but rather once most of the water has already left the
bowl," according to Philip Tierno, MD, director of clinical microbiology and
diagnostic immunology at New York University Medical Center and Mt. Sinai
Medical Center.</blockquote>

And 3 things should be within an arm's reach of each fixture: an ashtray, a
place to set a beer, and little paper cups for the folks who drink their own
urine.

HTH  =)
