Revolving Door Etiquette

I thought there were unspoken rules about revolving doors, like most social norms. It turns out that people are unaware of revolving door etiquette.

First, you have the people who move too fast in the revolving door, like its funny. Just the other day I watched these punk high school children pushing the doors so quick an older woman heals hit the back of the door and basically pushed her through the circle. Rude.

Rule number 1: Move at a steady, normal pace. Do not push faster in the attempt of embarrassing someone, that's uncalled for.

Second, one person per door. PEOPLE! It is not okay to get in the same compartment as a stranger for a revolving door ride. I don't understand why this isn't understood. Wait your turn, do not try to invade my personal space. Thank you.

Rule number 2: One person per door.

Third, Do not stop revolving doors while in motion. Nothing catches someone off guard more than hitting the front of their face in the door they are walking through. It's not like you need to stop for a break, you're going in a small circle.

Rule number 3: Do not stop a door in motion.

Fourth, parents, watch your children. You see this all the time, parents on their cell phone, children running through the revolving door like they are at Disney World. Come on. We have places to go and we cant get there because your 12 children are running through the revolving doors and not getting out. Get off your cell phone and be a parent. Thank you!

Rule number 4: Just watch your children.

Lastly, give yourself enough time to get in the door and out of the door. We aren't trying to trick you, when the door passes you, step in, when the door passes the next opening, step out. It's like people think they are in a fun house. They are so unsure to step in and step out. I didn't think we needed to spell this out, but apparently we do. Also, don't pause long enough that you miss the door and jump in at the last second, that's just foolish.

Rule number 5: Give yourself plenty of time to get in and out of the revolving door.

For all of you who were unaware of revolving door etiquette, here you go, I have now helped you out.
