Matthew 0 - Inanimate Objects 23,856

There have been two distressing trends in the technology of doors of late.

One is the removal of Push and Pull signs. Lord knows what happened to the useful things. Was everybody given psychic powers? Well I certainly wasn't, and thus when approaching an unmarked door, I now have no idea if it's a Push or Pull. Statistically speaking, it's a 50-50 chance, but 75% of the time I manage to balls it up.

I either slam straight in to it or strain desperately to pull it open.

And a good percentage of the time, the door is in fact locked, causing a humiliating combination of slamming into and straining against.

The second distressing trend in door manufacture is that many are now made entirely of glass, so that people on both sides can see my feux pas.

More often than not, pull doors have handles, whereas push doors do not.
