Don’t drop your keys when walking through a revolving door.
I made that mistake a couple days ago. It turns out that a keychain with a few keys makes for a nice door stop. I struggled a bit to get my keys unstuck.

how is this door revolving with no people pushing it?
have you been to IKEA lately? They have automatic revolving doors. No persons needed. There’s actually a sign on the door saying “do not push”, cuz people are automatically inclined to push a revolving door. But pushing the IKEA revolving door will cause it to stop. Those crazy Swedes!
Those automatic revolving doors are always mega big ones. Like the IKEA one. And like the one at the Chicago Place mall on Michigan Ave (no, not the Water Tower mall, the CHicago Place mall just a couple blocks south of the Water Tower mall).

And mentioning that when someone explains bad etiquette to you is in of itself bad etiquette. And my tell you this is bad etiquette too. It’s like we are stuck in a forever revolving door–much like the animated gif on this post that just keeps turning and turning and turning.
Emily Post would either be proud or horrified. Not sure which.
