If No Sign, Do You First Push Or Pull The Door?
This is truly an amazingly nothing question, but if there’s no sign, do you first push or pull a door?
There is a scientific poll that asked that very question and really wanted to know what people did! YouGov reported the results of this survey of over 6,000 Americans to see what they would say. The Mike & Carla Morning Show thought this very important since Carla Rea has reportedly had problems with doors.
Come to find out that the results we’re pretty even. If there is no sign as to what to do, a little over 51% of those surveyed said that they had a tendency to “push”! So overall, it’s pretty even. Some push, others will pull. But why?
Do You Push Or Pull When It Comes to A Door?
Now, if you want to get even more specific, more men have the tendency to push. On the other hand, women tend to pull! Mike O’Brian said that he is with his fellow brothers on this. Entering an establishment, he will pull. Leaving, he will push first if there is no signs.
The report even got regional when it came to the survey. For example, people in the Northeast tend to be pushers. As oppose to those in the Midwest that say they tend to pull if there is no signs. When it came to those under the age of 30, they said in the survey say that they like to push first, then ask questions later! LOL! Those folks older, total opposite…well of course we are!
One listener, who is in construction actually called in to explain why doors open the way they do in most public building. Good stuff to know and a tip as to what to look for if there are no signs telling you what to do.
The main thing is to get through the door safely right! Included in the segment below is Carla’s battle with the front door here at the station. Although she was okay, it sounds a lot worse than it was! For all the other info on the recent survey and results, listen to the segment below…and enjoy!
