Have you ever walked into a glass door ?

[Dave7]

I just saw a YouTube compilation and it brought back vivid.....very vivid memories.
I was 16 years old so approx 64 years ago. Rushing into Sayers cake shop Liverpool. Glass door with no markings on it**
I can still feel the pain and shock as I literally bounced off and found myself flat out on the pavement.
**I'm sure you could sue them nowadays.

I have, I had a big nosebleed as a result. Not my greatest moment.

 

[tyred]

Yes I have. There's a glass patio door on the front of my parents house. I was bringing stuff in from the car for my Mum and had left the door open.

My brother had closed it while I was out at the car, and I came carrying a box and walked straight into it

No, because I'm not a bird.

I did get distracted and walk into a lamp post once when I was about 14, but... Ahhemmm, nothing to see here, move along now! 😆

The bloody rotating door at work. It's finally being replaced after 11 years. It's automatic, and has a habit of just stopping. Sometimes it stops quickly and bounces back. Walloped my hand once and nearly face planted another. It's a common issue.

Oh aye, those things in shopping centres and so on - You always have to be ready for anything with those!

Yes, and more than once in my present house. The door to the conservatory is a sliding glass one with little suction cup ornaments hanging from it to make it visible.

They can fall off.

Yes, at a job interview for uni placement at a posh tech firm!
I was called in to a big meeting room where there's about 5 people on the panel, step towards the door, looks like it's open so I go to step through... BANG! Rub head, retrieve bent glasses, wander in. Say I'm fine I'm fine, proceed with interview. Didn't get the job but don't remember much about the interview. I must have been a bit spaced.

I should have pretended to be out cold, then started talking about sueing, unless they gave me the job.

I did see one of our (previous) dogs walk full on into a lamp post once, complete with an audible 'Donk!' and a small "yelp". He fell back, looking slightly confused, but then, his eye sight was failing and he was quite old at the time.

He just got up and kept walking as if nothing had happened! 😆

D'ye reckon that that was part of the interview test? 😆

If it was I failed it comprehensively!

Nothing to do with glass doors, but I once made the mistake of trying to exit the interview room by opening the door into a cupboard.

I didn't get that job for some reason.🤔

It wasn't for the Narnia Incorporation then?

A long time ago. Our venture scouts were staying in a school near Cheddar Gorge. Being 16 year old halfwits, we were messing around in the school in the dark and one of the lads ran through a 6ft sq panel of georgian wired glass. He left a silhouette like Wylie Coyote. Apart from a bruised elbow, not a mark on him. School Caretaker was a star, put it down to a little mishap. we thought we were (deservedly) getting the bill.

Back in the 1980s (in the days before toughened glass), one of my brother's friends, who was around for a playdate, ran straight through our patio doors. I seem to remember there was quite a lot of claret, but that he was remarkably and mercifully relatively unscathed.
