I am ashamed to admit that this was actually kind of interesting.

My door touching is somewhat skewed by my job since I'm constantly going in and out of rooms.

Bedroom door knob: touched 5 times
Apartment door knob: touched 5 times
Apartment building door knob: touched 5 times
Car door knob: touched 6 times
Building Access doorknob (n/a because it's a handicapped door that opens)
Main Office Doorknob: touched 2 times
Professor's Office Doorknob: touched once
My own office doorknob: touched 0 times since the door was already open

That's it so far -- will repeat most of that process again late afternoon when I return to campus for my late class and appointments.

Interesting essay. I wonder how many, if any, of the touches will end up making him sick? There's some nasty, nasty, nasty hands out there touching the same handles you and I do each and every day.

Amen.

"Sometimes it is not clear whether using a door or drawer should be considered one or two separate actions. For example, walking through a door and then pulling it shut often seemed like one smooth, automatic action. I decided it was often unnecessary, inexpedient, and tedious to photograph and then display both actions...but I did do this at least several times."

This guy does it in one smooth motion. Oftentimes, to comical results.
