       @gynostar it is funny, but we've also all done it. Doors should be made with an intuitive user interface that don't require signs to tell people how to use them. For instance, everyone knows not to pull on a pushbar or where there is just a flat surface that can only be pushed -- that's a good design.But we've all seen doors with handles clearly meant for pulling that are labeled "push".

       @nixCraft One hypothesis is that we Americans (originally British colonists) brought the format over from Britain. Apparently, the U.K. used the same format until the 20th century when they decided to change it to the way the Europeans were doing it. As expected, we Americans were like “fuck that, even if we could get all of our fucking states to agree on it, it’d be too hard to teach everyone to use a new format”

       @lauren wow, that a bit harsh coming from a Canadian. Did they at least preface it with “sorry”?
