Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the hell all the doors in the university library are so fucked? Like no, really. First of all, they must have found it really hilarious to make it so you have to PULL the door in and PUSH it when you are leaving, but what about the fact that the doors themselves have the SHITTIEST handles (if you can even call those large fucking pieces of shit handles) and weigh 19320 pounds, so when a relatively small girl like me tries pulling/pushing I make a fool out of myself by struggling to complete such a simple task. Ever think about why so many people feel the need to press the handicap button so often? Because thats the only way you can get through without basically bench pressing a 500 pound door which seems to NOT want to let you through. And the noise the automatic doors make are even worse for the poor people trying to study! GET IT TOGETHER! Who the fuck designed this building anyway? Fucking embarrassment. —Is Anyone Really Surprised At This Bitch?

Oh, no, no… please!! Don’t bring the library/student sock puppets back!!
Sigh.
Exaggerate much, by the way?
I hear, at the law library, the doors is opened by liveried doormen, just outta a Jane Austen novel, and the air is perfumed sweet, and the beer is free and theres rabbits, soft and furry that you kin touch. Ain’t that right George. Tell me agin’ bout them rabbits George. Tell me, please.
“of mice and men”?
Eek, Eek. >: )
They weigh exactly “19320 pounds”? I would have just said “almost ten tons”. More impact that way.
Push the button OP. Problem solved.
19320 pounds? Obviously the OP is not a science or engineering major, nor involved in an architecture program.
People exaggerate when they want to make their story more interesting or as a way of emphasizing a particular point. This point being the weight of the door handles.
I catch myself doing it sometimes and always stop myself because it makes me sound dumb.
Did OP just say “handicap button”?
Snoop, to me, exaggerating to emphasize a point seems dramatic not dumb. But it still bugs the crap out of me 🙂
NTH, yes she dd.
Are ALL dal snots in their own little world?I’m convinced they are with their stupid sweat pants with DAL written across the ass…there’s more than one university in hfx, OP.
Hey. Not all Dal students are snots. 🙂
Actually, you’re right NSNTH. There’s one particular dal student I’d love to cozy up to…and he happens to be from Ontario. OH FREAKING NOES.
I’m so ashamed.
lol PK.
all biases aside, those doors really do suck.
however, if you have a problem with it, study somewhere else.
I totally relate to this post. I too, frequent a certain store and no one can get those fangled doors to budge, without getting into a sweat. I’ve noticed that most people now, use the handi-capped button.
surprised, no. just was wondering if you could actually be that brain dead, not to know how to open and close doors. it is a learned skill o.p., i will be teaching that next year, advanced dumbfuckery, you are invited to be my first student.
omg i think a full judicial inquiry should be called to find out who is responsible for this mockery of door closing …. things 🙂
Well I for one am not brain dead LS.
The doors I speak of are double wide, thick heavy glass and then another double wide glass, 5? feet away. It’s like a very small vestibule. The doors are electric or something. I personally think they are not calibrated properly. The door resists being opened by hand and when it finally does, both doors open but the second set, shuts before you can get to it. You then need to do another dance with the second non budging door. So ya, in this case,people have just learned to use the handicapped button.
