Conversation.

As I exited the grocery store the automatic door hesitated so long I almost walked straight into it.

"This door is a little slow on the uptake." I commented over my shoulder to the two employees who almost ran into me when the door had neglected to react quickly enough.

"It does that to me, too. I think I don't have a soul." The taller man said.

I laughed. "Yes, that's definitely MY problem."

Oh, sweetheart, you know that's not true. You just misplaced it after you drizzled it in choclate sauce.

Go look in the fridge for it.

If those dorrs were looking for people with souls, they wouldn't even open half the time!

It's just a ploy to delay you and have you ask yourself, "Am I really ready to leave this shop or is there still some extravagance I need to get?"

They open for souls...thats why I always have to open them manually. ;o)

This weekend I went to a place where the automatic doors opened OUT... and quickly. Had I not jumped back I would've taken them in the face. How absolutely stupid is that?

Or, you are a vampire who doesn't register to mirrors, cameras, and motion detectors. ^_-

*giggles* I'm always quoting the Simpsons or referring to them in real life!

Elevator doors that don't open fast enough are disconcerting as well, don't you think?

Tai, you must be just a slip of a girl who doesn't register on the door's sensor :-)

And here all this time, I thought it was my invisibility device. Ah well.

I do, however, adore blackcrag response/advice.

We have a door here like that too.
Durell ALWAYS chooses it over the one that slides open easily...why I wonder??? Hmmm

Maybe you should have given the door your soul - er uh sole of your shoe.
