Me and my coworker have been observing a trend in human behavior when we go to lunch. I'm curious if any of you have noticed this same phenomenon. I'll try to describe it as best as I can. You know those situations where the line goes out the door and if there are double doors, one is closed and one is propped open. And the people standing in line are obviously going out the door that is open. Now the thing I observe is that 9 times out of 10, people would rather squeeze in the open space left between the line and the closed door rather than just open the other door and walk out with ease. I actually see strangers who would rather brush up against other people rather than just make for themselves a clear path by opening a door. Another coworker has said, "Maybe they don't open the door because they think it's locked." I don't think so because the few that actually do, open it with the utmost certainty that it will open. He also tried to defend these people by saying, "Maybe it's intentional. Maybe the person in line is really attractive." I didn't bother to thank him for the complement since it's happened to me quite a few times which is how I noticed this in the first place. Besides I see it happening to all sorts of people regardless of gender so physical appeal isn't the reason either, ha ha. The conclusion we've made is that Americans are lazy and would rather not use their hands if they don't have to even if it means rubbing their whole body against a stranger to exit. Has anyone seen this? Or worse, have any of you done this?
