Convenient for me? No, I either stand there forever or leave with semi-wet hands. Paper towels work much faster and more effective, but the decision is made by facilities.
(i.e. a fire in the bathroom creates a vacuum which prevents the door from opening outward. maybe that’s idiotic)
1. Inward opening is probably less inclined to disperse bathroom air into the hallway outside.
2. You're probably less likely to smack someone with a door opening into a hallway. (Or course, someone entering might do it to someone exiting a bathroom but most people are probably at least somewhat trained to exercise caution under those circumstances.)
3. If anything, I'd think fire code would favor door opening out given that's the general rule.
