Bathroom doors should open inward not outward.

Hi

Do you find the following conversation OK? Any suggestion is welcome.

a) I believe bathroom doors should open inward not outward.

b) Why? What difference does it make?

a) Oh, a lot of difference. With the door opening inward, you can pop your head out and ask for water just in case in disappears mid-shower.

Thanks,

Tom

Note that in British English in this context we're more likely to say adverbially inwards and outwards.

We use inward and outward as adjectives (the bus's inward and outward journeys).
