So awesome.
My favorite, but I'm open to new submissions.
This one is extra funny/personal to me, I was in gifted programs from the age of 7 on and I actually do this way more often than anyone I know (and laugh/curse at myself for it every time).
No problem if there's a sign so I'm not quite as bad as Junior there but somehow I just absentmindedly "ignore" tons of door handles
How many sliding glass doors have they busted by pushing into them?If you see hinges, pull. Otherwise, push. I've had to tell my engineering students this many times over the years and it's like a lightbulb when they realize that.

I know plenty of people with tons of books smarts but no common senseLOL. Its amazing how those folks could grasp advanced theories but could not seem to get their belt through all the loops.

Isn't that the truth. My graduate advisor had all 3 degrees from MIT, but little common sense to where you can do nothing but shake your head.
Another point is that fire codes typically require exterior doors of public buildings to open outwards so if you're leaving a building, push. Entering, pull. Grocery and merchandise stores typically just go with automatic sliding doors, since so many of the general public would do the opposite of what you should do and it speeds up customers getting in and out.
Sorry for the thread hijack.
