I avoid touching doorknobs at public bathrooms, but for the rest I usually don't give doorknobs a second thought.
And yeah, carrying a hankerchief around for all doorknob is excessive compulsive.
It's also pointless unless you throw the hankerchief out after every use..

That's what klenexes are for.
Just kidding.
But bathrooms are one of the places you should be most on alert. If those germs transfer to your food, you can easily get major stomach cramps, or worse.
On a side note, I usually kick the doors open, and kick the toilet seat up/down respectively, and kick the toilet flush. That handles a lot at least. =P.

Is there a phobia for peeing in public bathrooms? I find if I drink too much and half to go I have trouble going even though my blatter is full. I think it's just a psychological thing for me, because I should be able to go..
I just think too much about the process or the loud surroundings (school, bar, restaurant). It's always easy to do go to the bathroom at someones house though, at least for me because it's quiet and i'm not rushed by a line of people behind my stall door.

Allright! Bathroom confessional thread...
The dorm I used to live in had the most un-hygenic people.
One morning when I went to take a shower, I opened the curtain only to be greated with the sight of a used tampon lying on the shower floor.
And with that, I think I win the Bathroom Confessional Gross-out Award.

Actually, believe it or not, fast food joints are insanely clean. Sure, the lobbies may look like crap, but the back kitchens and everything that comes in contact with food is very, very impeccably clean. I used to work at a fast food joint, and the level of cleaning that is required by managers paranoid over health inspections is astonishing.
As for the phobia thing, I really hate it when there's a long line of people waiting to use the toilet. Even if I have to go really badly, I can't because I *loathe* it when people are waiting on me and are rushing me along. It drives me nuts.
I have no problem touching doorknobs. It's only sketchier touching bathroom doorknobs, because you'll see someone walk in, take a dump, and then stick their hands all over that doorknob. It's not so much being paranoid over germs, as it is just plain nasty.
