Is It Wrong...

...to think that when an establishment has two doors in it's entryway that one is 'In' and the other is 'Out'? I view the doors like road travel (at least here in the states), where traffic is on your left.

So then, why is it that I'm finding more and more places where one of the doors (typically, the 'Out' door) is LOCKED! Why not just have ONE door? And if you're going to lock one door maybe put up a sign that says "Yes, we have two doors here but one is locked shut. We are waiting until the other door wears out before we unlock & use this one. Using two doors at once just seems like overkill LOL. Please use the door that is unlocked."

I feel like such an idiot when I walk up to a perfectly good door and expect to walk through it only to be snubbed completely.

Also, I did some research and found this:

A panel of experts has concluded that locked doors do not open and thus impede entry/exit.

Weird.

I am totally locking the left doors at our lobby entrance tomorrow and giggling as customers yank their fookin' arms out of socket. I'll even put up a sign that says "pull hard".

yeah the right door from the outside is always locked into one of the buildings on campus
annoys the fuck outta me, i forget every time. not to mention there's two doors and a lot of traffic, you'd think they'd unlock it. not like thieves are gonna try the right door and be like shit, its locked, lets try somewhere else.


Posted by MeLLyMeL on Nov-08-2007 21:52:

I tend to go to the right door.

i am a switch hitter. if im holding books with my right hand.. and noone else is coming out.. i go on the left where my hand is free... but if someone is coming, i switch my books to my left hand and use the right door.

If there's two doors, isn't the door on the right for entrance and the door on the left for exit?

What does "traffic is on your left" mean?

Yes but if you're inside the store then the door on the right is for exit and the door on the left is for entrance.

I should have said 'oncoming traffic is on your left'. But if I look at it that way, I don't have to think about the doors as left or right, just in or out.

I'm so confused.

haha

lol, backwards Energy, you're being goofy.

If you're inside the store and you want to leave you should leave through the door on YOUR right which is the exit door if you're entering the store because when you're entering the store it's the door on your left.

man i was gonna start a thread about something similar the other day, but i'll post it here
you know who needs to die?
those ******s who walk with their head down on the faaaaaar left side of the sidewalk. you're not being non-conformist, you're just being a ****. get to the right side of the sidewalk and stop being a fucking idiot.

i've actually run into several people like this. if i'm walking on the right side of the sidewalk, and they acknowledge me/see me, no way in hell i'm moving.


Posted by Echo of Silence on Nov-08-2007 22:39:

If you're walking slow, get on the right. Left is for fast and passing. Same with driving. I think half the world doesn't know this.

no i'm talking far left
it'd be like if you're driving down a highway
right lane's the slow lane, left lane's the fast lane, and these ******s go in the opposite side's breakdown lane (aka coming towards you in your breakdown lane)


Posted by Ygrene on Nov-08-2007 22:53:



See? Depending on if you are inside the building or outside the building, the 'In' or 'Out' door will change from left to right.


Posted by Boomer187 on Nov-08-2007 22:54:

yea but if you are left handed and open the right door with the handle on the left side you cross your body with the door making it hard to enter.

And that is exactly why I propose that left-handers walk backwards!
