"Those who can laugh at themselves will never cease to be amused."
Today, as I was walking out of a store, the door actually DID hit me on my way out. I caught myself, then stopped to think, "Hey, that door just hit me... on my way out." Then I laughed a bit.This is possible because many of the doors here in Korea are on hinges that swing both ways.
I do like to sit and watch people at a coffee shop sometimes. The door says "pull", but many disregard this. I've noticed that most Koreans will push the door away from them; but most foreigners (myself included) pull the door towards us. I do this to prevent pushing the door into other people, especially if I can't see through the door or if those on the other side might be shorter than the window.
I don't know if this is a cultural, height/body size, or other issue; but it is interesting to observe.
Just remember, when something happens like this and the door hits you - you can get grumpy, or you can just laugh at it/yourself.
Choose laughter.
