    This video made me stop using revolving doors.

    Anyway, I door fail all the time. Even with doors in my house ... .___.

    And I people watch whenever I'm doing something like waiting for the bus, or waiting to meet someone somewhere. I like people watching a lot better when I'm with someone else, because then you can throw around some unnecessary/usually mean commentary.

    I fail at doors a lot. xD

    My ex is Brazilian and apparently the words are different there, or are the same word, or something... so he <i>always</i> got push and pull mixed up.

    I don't people watch much. I'm way too self-absorbed to pay attention to strangers!

    That revolving door was possessed!!


    I'm a bit of flunky when comes to opening the library doors at my campus...Once I tried opening the doors for good ten minutes...Then this junior comes up and opens the door with ease!! I swear those doors hate me for some reason!!

    I don't really people watch as I always feel nosey and rude.

    As for the door thing, the last time I did it was last week. I came across a door that had a handle that I pulled to no avail. I then saw it had a label saying 'push' which makes me wonder why they put a handle on it in the first place!

    I like to try to make eye contact with the hundreds of people I walk by everyday. Even past the point where it would be awkward. I reckon if someone else is willing to make it just as awkward as I am, they might be worth getting to know!

    Wow, I've really got to do that sometime. I mean I do watch people when I'm bored, but I've never set out to go and watch people. I'll do it one day.

    When approaching an unsigned door, to avoid the push/pull dilemma, I glance at the hinges on the door as I approach. If I see hinges it should be a pull and if I can't see the hinges, a push. This usually works and saves me the embarrassment of walking into the door, or being shown up by a child.

    Yeah - I still do this x_x

    However in some cases I swear it isn't my fault, sometimes there are those doors which have the 'pull' bars on both sides... A purposeful design 'flaw'?

    ...who knows

    I await for the day where I don't fail at opening doors~ Seriously, I've run into them a lot xD

    And I love people watching! Especially at Starbucks. Like just sitting at Starbucks and watching people go by. Starbucks is like people-watching/frappuicino/procrastination heaven.
    wheee!

    Non-automatic doors are my worst enemies.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. Usually I'm trying to conspicuously cruise random guys though > _ >
