Doors and Peanut brains
Anyway I digress.We sat there in waiting chairs and this particular pattern among the people leaving the restaurant from the front door caught my attention. Before you read any further of my genius observation, I thought it would be useful to know that especially during closing hours, most of the restaurants and fast food chains in USA have their right door locked (if you are going out) and you move in and out of the door using the left door (again assuming that you consider the door has left and right halfs and the point of observation is from inside the restaurant...hope it made any sense!!).
Anyway, I noticed that every women that left the restaurant used the left door and looked well aware that the right door is locked. But almost every guy was so clueless and first tried to push or bump the right door hard and later realizes its locked and then uses left door knob to get out. Its so uncanny that my friend, who was forced to get involved in this pattern scoop, got surprised as well. We confirmed my observation by watching atleast 10 more people.
This reminded me of something I read recently that men either live in the past or future but never in the present. They always are lost in thinking about what's ahead than actually enjoy or concentrate the path to reach "there" what ever the "there" is and women, on contrary, always are in touch with their surroundings and the present.
I don't know how much this is true, but its sure is a baffling experience I had. Inundated with so many thoughts and theories I got my pick up bags and banged into the locked side of the door, got annoyed and pushed the left door to get out. Before I could turn and warn my friend, I heard a bang on the door. "Men...ain't they sheep" I sighed.

this is strange. however, women do have a problem in identifying what is left and what is right. we make for very muddled direcion givers :) -

Thanks for the comments. I apolozise my writing skills couldn't convey exactly what I had in mind. This ain't about womens direction sense, but their ability to notice small details and having a presence of mind than men, if that makes any sense.

I agree with what you said, about 'men not being in the present'. I do not know if they are thinking about past or future or they just dont think about small things. We on the other hand think too much about the small details and leave the big picture out. -

(Tafosi) Oh yeah...I also forgot to mention that "Men ain't just sheep but also presumptious":-)..Thanks for reminding Tafosi:)

ur writing skills are absolutely perfect. i understood what u were implying. however, the left and right talk reminded me of our deficiency in that department which is what i scribbled down. next time comments will be more direct. no stray thoughts :)
