There’s a door on the 10th floor in the Vox Media office I hate so much. You probably know one of these too. But it’s not our fault.
And luckily, Roman Mars of 99% Invisible magically arrived in my cellphone to send me on a cross-country journey to find out the incredible surprises behind this common complaint:
Don Norman started complaining about doors over 25 years ago. Doors shouldn’t need instructions – the shape of them can guide you through just fine. So why do so many doors need instruction manuals right on the side of them?
When most people complain about something, nothing happens. Don Norman is not most people – he’s a psychologist and cognitive scientist. Don Norman thought about, and wrote about his complaints so incredibly thoroughly that he changed the world. 99% Invisible’s Roman Mars helps tell the story.

I can't believe I just watched a video about door design….
Doors that levitate
It's not life-threatening but it's awful annoying
All these doors were cast magic by discord.
Every entrance door is design to be pull, so that if some emergency things happen doors are easy to open when you push it or going out
It used to be called common sense. This guy has made stupidity into a market niche.
The Vox door probably would cost $300 to fix in New York. So there is the answer to why bad doors remain in place.
The other is the Architect.
Read his book, one of the most humorous and chilled academic material I've ever read.. WARNING: This book will make you more irritable towards terrible designs. U'll suddenly be aware of how nearly zero thoughts where given about use when that fancy new mall installed public bathrooms with shiny metal rubric cubes as tap faucets.
I’ve read the whole book. Had this as a reference for my Human-Computer Interaction class.
The large handles are there to keep people from touching the glass. When there is just a plate people always push on the glass regardless.
i can see someone at vox pulling it too hard one time and breaking it one day
In germany every Door is right
The door is in a hallway, what kind of door opens outward to a hallway? A person is far more likely to hit someone or something versus having the door open inward into the room.
Wait 10th floor
Блять да какого хуя это на английском, ебаный в рот как я заебался я не понимаю тяжело блять
Dan Norman: Points out problems with design & bad doors.
World: we'll name the bad doors "Norman doors"
Jeg er nordmann
Switch to the revolving door.
Why are we focused on doors?
What really annoys me is when there’s a double door and only one of the doors opens
I had already liked and watched this video, but it showed up on my suggestions as not watched smh so weird.
It's you.
I watched some six to eight year old kids have trouble with the gestures and trackpad on the new Macbook I think it was 2018. It makes me not feel so bad when I get fed up with the gestures that just magically changed in Windsor versions with no way of changing them back something that is less obvious show the desktop. And I'm aware of design. I have also not adapted to the new gesture because it's a pain to pinch out literally in my hand and I never get all the points in the right spot to do it until like the fourth try. Oh and I usually end up triggering everything else that I don't want.
I think the Problem with the Vox building door is, that it is a glass door where you can see that the handles on both sides are exact the same. So you have no indicater what you are supposed to do and then it's just a „are you a push or pull guy" or what other doors you're used to thing.
Asian slide door : well, let me excuse
The worst door are the ones that say push when they are actually pull doors
There’s a ‘professor’ for this sort of thing!? I need to get ‘Dr’ in front of my name for SOMETHING
Em Português, PULL é puxar e PUSH é empurrar.
Mas eu acho PUSH foneticamente mais parecido com puxar do que empurrar.
E eu sempre confundo quando encontro uma porta com esses avisos.
Puxo quando é para empurrar e empurro quando é para puxar.
I remember reading that book for programming. Small world
No handles on doors, a lot of fingerprints on the glass.
Why not have doors go in two ways? Like those doors in cowboy saloons?
Why don’t they put a handle on the part that you pull and no handle on the part you push lol
You know most of them, you pull when your on the outside of the room, and push when your on the inside, it’s a door to see if you have enough brain cells to process it lol.
user experience
My school has 2 entrances each one has a 3 double sets only of the them. Only one door from one set can be used.
Imagine one of the spin doors spinning the other way.
