Revolving doors

They come in a number of sizes don't they. You'd think that wouldn't create a problem but it does.

At John Lewis they have the very large automatic revolving door which can fit about five people comfortably at walking pace. At the other end of the spectrum Jenners has a push one which can fit no more than one person. You know where you stand. Literally.

It's the inbetweeny size doors which are a potential minefield. The door at Debenhams probably accomodates 2.5 people. This is no problem if you're out as a couple but if you're on your own do you take that leap in with a stranger? Because it's an automatic they often do that sudden stop start thing. And that's the potential problem.

Inadvertent bumming.

Can you imagine the door stopping and you're suddenly thrust forward into the rear of someone else. If it was a woman you look like a pervert and if it's a guy, well, you still kind of look like a pervert.

Ye be warned.
