I usually take to covering the door handle with my sleeve (though I suppose I just get all sorts of **** on my sleeve instead).

And I don't like sharing foods that other people have dipped their hands into either, it's just not pleasant.

I personally.. when wiping my hands dry..

At minimum open the restroom door with the paper towel in hand before leaving a washroom..

Most restaurants are good enough to have a garbage can by the door.. so the towel is deposited there.. if not.. on the floor (no choice)..
