I've always been indifferent to doors, including the revolving ones.. until years back, when I stumbled upon a very compact automatic revolving door at a Victoria's Secret store in Chicago.
It was my first time to go through an automatic revolving door. I have never encountered one before so I did not know how it worked. I thought it was just an ordinary revolving door, which you push to get through. Anyway, this revolving door was very compact that if a lot of people were going through, you tend to be cramped in a small space while moving. Apparently this happened as I was going through. I was in front while several women were behind me. The door was moving by itself, very slowly so my first instinct was to push on the door to make it go faster. I was feeling claustrophobic so I wanted to get away from that door right away. Unfortunately, the door stopped moving and the girl behind me said in a very rude and sarcastic tone, "you're not supposed to touch it." WELL SORRY!!!!! I didn't even say anything to her, I was just furious. How was I supposed to know that I'm not supposed to touch it!?? There were no signs on the door that said "AUTOMATIC, DO NOT PUSH OR TOUCH!" At that moment I felt stupid for not knowing, but I felt furious as well because that girl did not have to be mean.
Since then I hated automatic revolving doors.
