Can we just talk about how several restaurants have double doors and keep one side locked? Why did they go through the trouble of installing the double door entrance instead of a single door if they’re only going to have one functioning? Oh, yes! Because it’s funny to watch people approach the door full force only to find that it’s locked and thus bounce back with a look of shock and embarrassment that sometimes causes a human pile up. I must say, it makes me giggle every time – especially when I do it. And it’s always when the restaurant strategically props one door open for you, pretty much telling you up front in neon flashing lights, “Hey, use this one – the other one is locked!” Oh yeah? I’ll prove you wrong, Door-that-is-already-ajar. Sheesh, and you can forget it when you see someone else approaching from the outside wanting to enter the fine establishment. You do the little stutter step to avoid going through the same door and then BAM! You picked the locked one. And then, to make matters worse and perhaps a little funnier (in my opinion), the person feels bad for breaching your personal bubble and wants to make it up to you by holding the door open for you (since you obviously failed at accomplishing this task yourself), but they stand in that awkward spot, you know the one - practically in the middle of the door frame, to hold the door open behind them, forcing you to again burst your bubble boundary (Stranger, danger!) as you squeeze past and thank them … tip of the imaginary top hat and slight bow to you, good sir!
