and today's random question is...

Do you prefer to pull doors open or push doors open?

Pull.

Funny, you'd think push is the easier option, but I think I instinctively pull open doors rather than push them. There's probably some psychological issue behind that.

My instinct is always to push open doors (including the ones that read 'pull'). I wonder what the psychological issues are?

See, I have just analysed the issue and have come to the following conclusion: I pull open doors, because when I push them open I let go of the handle and then the door comes back and hits me in the face. Also, if I push it open, it might hit the person standing on the other side in the face. So basically, it's a Strategy to Avoid Being Hit In The Face.
