Trouble Opening Doors
In my office I am the closest desk to the Mens Room. Whenever we have visitors they always end up looking lost and disoriented by my desk, and I have to guide them.

They can find the mens rooms all right--thats no problem. Its the opening of the door that always leaves these people confused and disoriented.

You hear a few long minutes of trying to pull the door open, not really shaking of the handle, just the grunting of trying to pull a door open. Then they look around the hallway for another door that maybe to the men's room.

They finally come to me and say, "Is there another Men's room? This ones locked."

No man, it isn't. The door's a push. Turn the handle and push....

Didn't we have to master that skill when we were 5?

3. Doors can be tricky
I remember reading of some thieves who tried to break into a warehouse. In the morning it was noticed that the door had been dented, but it did not give way. The only thing is...the door wasn't locked. It was a pull door and not push door.

4. haha
that reminds me of the "Wildest Police Chases" where they show footage of bank robbers who think the bank has an auto locking security system and they are trapped inside...all that happened was they are too nervous to try push and pull
