    Deep in the Lone Star
    Yesterday morning my wife & I attended our daughter's (4 yr old) first horse showing. My wife agreed to help w/ concessions. My wife is blonde & lefthanded. Not a big deal, I agree. So another blonde "horse mom" stops by & notices my wife is left handed & asks "You're left handed & blonde? Me too!" My wife answers "yes." The other mom's next question was "Do you ever find that when you open doors you walk through & get hit in the forehead by the door?" Alright, no tact, nothing. I laughed, A LOT! I just couldn't stop. To my wife's credit, she kept a straight face. This was the first time either of had ever met this woman. That's a great first impression. What do ya'll think?

    I had to look at a door to see how that was possible, then laughed my ass off visualizing her getting hit with the door.
     
    I am left handed, not blonde, I needed stitches after splitting my eyebrow open opening a door. Only did it once. It was the front door to my house. I'm not sure what made that day so special.
     
    I imagine this happens when someone left handed opens a door- that opens toward them and with hinges on the right- with their dominant hand. This would cause the door to swing into their body instead of across their body, as these doors do for us who are right handed. As a rule of thumb, find the hinges and use the hand closest to them to open the door.
