Do you push or pull the door open?

Hi mimpz! I am big pusher, lol! I sometimes saw people looking at me because theres a sign that says 'pull' and I'm pushing it, lol. But now I'm looking at the door first if theres a sign, before I do my first move, lol.

It's a push with my weight behind it. And there have been instances where the door had to be pulled and the signage not being very visible, I have tried pushing and walked into it. Once it was a Glass door and I can't describe the noise and the stars and the embarassment that followed. And of course the the egg on my forehead.

What if is SLIDES mimpi? What do we do then?? I am not quite sure what I would do generally to be honest but I think I am probably more of a door pusher myself. I do get a kick out of seeing people push when it says "PULL" and vice versa though! lol. Sad but true.....

Hi Mou Well, its nice discussion in mall or shops, i follow the instruction written on the door either "Push" Or "pull" but at home and in General i mostly Push the door as its easy to go in flow. But there are some door which can br open out side so have to pull them. Simple Take care

I think I have a tendency to push doors when there is no instructions. Very rarely pull it.

good discussion! i usually pushes the door when i about to enter and pulls it once i exit. given that there is no instruction posted on the door. once there is instruction i follows it.

I am a very pushy type.And you know that.

push baby,,i always PUSHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I'm a door pusher when there are no instructions. I find it easier to walk in pushing the door than trying to use more energy to pull it. I've also been known to 'pull' at doors which need to be pushed and vice versa. I'm too busy trying to figure out which is 'push' and which is 'pull' to realize what I'm doing!

I do wants to push.... for me it's better and a convenient way , I just feel I don't have to make too much effort in pushing rather than pulling.

Push.... I always push

Push or pull... Push or pull....mmmmm??.. Mostly i behave like your Mom.. Not Pulling it..

if there's a door which works either ways, i'll push instead of pull. seems easier hehe

in this thing, i always used to determine before keeping my hands on the door. because in my showroom, many peoples pull the door, which give a bad hit for the door at the top. this makes me much angry that these peoples dont even have time to read what had been wrote on the door. so as i think this way, how will i leave others to think the same on me? but if the door works on both kinds, generally i pull!

My natural tendency is to push the door, if no instructions are available. If it does not work, then only I pull the door.

hahha... reading all those responses, i'm not ashamed on saying that i'm a pusher! Even though it's clearly state in the door to 'pull' it :) when i go to a mall, most of its glass door doesnt have any how-to-open-instruction, so i push. Why, it's easier! Glass door are usually heavy :) And, it usually open both ways. I mean, even if it said 'pull', it will still be open when we push it. But recently i started to make a habit of reading the instruction. Especially when i'm on the minimarts. Their doors do have the instruction and it's big! But of course, that's if i'm not too lazy to pull the glass door lol. Good topic! Now i know i'm not the only one who's 'pushy' ;)

When you are inside the room, you need to pull the door. If you are outside and trying to get inside the room, then either someone will pull the door for you or you can push the door to get in. But it also depends on the space and its function. So for example, a utility room or a closet,or any small areas, the door needs to be pulled. And for some who maximize space, they prefer sliding doors. This applies to all structures in residential and commercial. Exit or Emergency door is important for most commercial buildings for safety reasons, you need to push the door when you are inside and wants to go out. And you can pull the door when you are outside and want to get inside the building. People inside the building when in panic tend to push than pull. I just thought to share this to most of you that doesnt know why some door needs to be push or pulled. But to answer your question, i tend to push than pull a lot. Since i dont get much visitor or sometimes my door is always open, so i dont need to pull a lot. have a great day too mimpi! :)

Well I always try to follow the instructions ,especially when opening doors which open both ways which are seen in malls or other public places.....But when no instructions are there,then I usually push it outwards,as mostly I will be having my shopping bags in my hand,and I try pushing gently with my foot,if my arms are not free....

I just wanted to stop and congradulate you! I do think this is the weirdest discussion ever posted. If they gave rewards out you would win for this one!! I don't mean that in a bad way either. Happy mylotting! :)

hi there, push or pull u mean those dooor whic open both sides like in malls or big shops..I will first read what is written on the door if it says push then push.If it says pull then pull.If the door is two way I always push the door when going in and going out. but if not written then it is first push than pull.
