I recently had occasion to reside, temporarily, and for unremarkable reasons, in a rented apartment in the Scottish town of Dundee. The lobby of the apartment building was accessed through a single door, with handles on both sides.

Adjacent to the handles, there was also, on each side of this door, a hand-scribbled sign reading “Push”.

Needless to say, I pulled.

The door did not open.

I pushed.

The door did not open.

I pulled again.

The door opened.

In the friendly pubs of Glasgow, they'd tell me: "Pick a window. You're leaving!"
