Automatic doors are designed to make you look like an idiot, right? You must have had the same experience.

You walk up to an establishment that has automatic doors. Some of them swing open, some of them slide open. No, that’s what they are supposed to do.

You walk up to the supposedly sliding door and your nose is about three inches from the door glass, so you put your hand out. “Swiiissssshhhhhh” the door opens. And you are standing there like a dum-koff with your arm sticking out.

Or you approach the swing open kind, get a foot away, nothing is happening, so you are about to push the bar that says ‘push.’ “Wraaackkk” the door suddenly swings open, and there you are - standing there like a dum-koff with your arm sticking out.

Not getting me on the way out. I get my purchases, arms full and I approach the door from the other side. I walk up to that door looking like I know how automatic doors operate. A foot away, three inches, – nothing happens. Nothing!

I look around watching everybody watching.  With both arms full I attempt to reach out and push the door. It doesn’t move. With packages in had I push harder, and harder.

Embarrassed that I am not strong enough to push open the average automatic door I say to myself “*&%^” and go to the other door.

Then I notice the little sign:
