Is it normal that i'm terrible at timing a revolving door?
For many years I did not know that only one person was meant to be in each slice of a revolving door. Needless to say, it made for very awkward episodes of me stiffly shuffling my feet behind a total stranger.
When that was no longer a problem, I then found myself struggling to enter and exit a revolving door. It seemed everyone else could enter and exit so seamlessly. I, on the hand, was not so graceful. I always ended up not being fast enough and either catching the back of my foot in the door, stopping the flow of the revolving door, or missing my exit and having to make another full rotation.
The last struggle I have is the amount of strength that I should use when pushing the door. I usually end up using too much and making the door spin much too quickly. Of course this makes my aforementioned entering and exiting problem even worse, and you can imagine the distress it causes the other people in the door.
Sometimes it seems I'm the only one who struggles with this, but perhaps others can relate.
