Wot - no SLIDING DOORS?
Post: 1
Posted Aug 10, 2003 by Wrinkled Rocker (incurable <biker>)
I feel you have missed a vitally important example of doors in everyday use - the sliding door. Having tried to push, pull, rotate, automate, etc, the door still will not give you access.

Be Severely Embarassed. blush

Only then do you try the other alternative - sliding it. If you try to slide it left, then it will not move. Almost completely embarrassed, you slide it to the right and walk through.
Then of course there is the sliding GLASS door which is designed to walk into "by accident", thereby creating most severe embarrassment.

erm Come to think of it, why don't we just drop the word "doors" and call them "EMBARRASSERS" - it's a more correct description!
