    1. If the door of the bathroom is open outward, sometimes if you forget to close the door when you go to the toilet, it will be embarrassing if someone comes in, and if it is opened inward, you can still resist it in time.

    2. The door shaft that opens outward will be exposed on the outside, which will be unsightly.

    3. The habit of people going to the toilet is usually to open the door inward, which is the habit of people, so it is more appropriate for the bathroom door to open inward.

    4. If the door is opened outward, when you finish going to the toilet, if someone happens to pass by, it will be easy to bump into someone.

    So in general, it would be better for the bathroom door to be opened inward.

    Doors that usually open outward are those with evacuation requirements, such as the main entrance and evacuation exit of the building. At the same time, public spaces such as auditoriums and theaters that accommodate a large number of people are also required to open the door outwards to avoid being unable to open the door in case of an emergency and when people are crowded around the door.

    However, other types of rooms do not have this requirement. For example, classrooms are also rooms with a lot of users, but because the users are more fixed, they are relatively familiar with this space. In addition, classrooms are usually connected by corridors, and if the door is opened to the outside, it is easy to have people in the hallway being hit by a door that suddenly opens, as mentioned in the problem supplement.

    In spaces such as theaters, doors are not opened and closed frequently, so there is no such concern. At the same time, in the event of an emergency, an open door may affect the evacuation in the hallway.

    The bathroom doors mentioned in the question should be open outward, which should refer to the doors of each toilet compartment, not the entire bathroom. Usually, the bathroom door of a public building will not be closed, so the opening direction should not have much impact on emergency evacuation; At the same time, due to the small space of the toilet cubicle, the door can be opened outside for the convenience of users. Doors in homes often open inward, also for reasons that are familiar to the occupants, and they can be opened inwards to avoid disturbing other spaces.

Generally, it is better to open inside. This makes it easy to bump into a family member passing by when you open and close the door. Otherwise, you'll have to shout before you go out and open the door: I'm coming out, there's no one outside. What a hassle!
