Why Do People Push On The Glass?

Have you ever noticed how, no matter how large they make the handle on those big glass doors in shopping malls, etc, people still have to press on the glass part to open them?

If not, put your eyeballs on this.

The handles are there for a reason, people!!!

Its about hygiene cause if the glass is clean people will inherently prefer to touch a clean area than the handle where you can't tell whats in there...

You are supposed to buy 3 packages of hot doggies(24) and two packages of buns(24).

I used to press on the glass, but at some point I realized that some underpaid person had to clean that glass. I try to always press the handle or the edge of the door, or something that's not glass.

I smear bananas on the glass and then sit back and scratch my balls.

I'd think it would be better to scratch first to avoid the banana residue problem.

I think they have the mismatch for us pet owners. I figure if I am making hot dogs, I can keep my dogs busy eating the 4 buns and have just enough hot dogs and buns for my guests assuming I don't use the above method.

I have just one question, what happens if you buy a Dodger dog? That is quite a bit of dog with no bun.

Then you have to find the extearmly rare and beautiful Dodger dog buns. (no I'm not kidding, I have seen them for sale).

Besides... your in Anaheim...

NO DODGER DOGS FOR YOU!

Go watch Disney baseball and eat sushi.
