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'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.

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.
