You'd see people all day smack into them, push, pull, then realize they were on the wrong side of the door. I bet the architect installed a camera just for laughs.

Handles are for pulling, while flat areas are for pushing. Violates a basic rule of usability: the form should reflect the function. Handles are for pulling, while flat areas are for pushing.

Although I feel strangely emotionally empty after having watched them. Not a cartoon, but one of my favorite 80s videos, in which Hulk Hogan nearly kills Richard Belzer in a headlock. Belzer sued him and settled for an undisclosed amount -- but apparently enough to buy a really nice house in France. I include the long version because it's worth the buildup...and to see what a total psycho Mr. T. is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXCYfpJbaRQ Thanks for doing the legwork on these.

Also I write them more like outlines than checklist. I really go old school and use notepad. Actually, I pretty much use notepad for all my writing. It opens up in a nano-second and their no formatting. Just text. I use them too, but I never refer back to them once I write them. Also I write them more like outlines than checklist.
