People who fling open doors wildly, without reason and forethought.
Now, I'll be the first to admit, sometimes there is good reason for really tearing at some unassuming door, ripping at it's hinges like your mother is trapped behind it in the final part of some sinister plot to overthrow the Zionist regime.
Err... yeah.
Moving right along.
Sometimes, for instance, you may want to make a grand entrance, drawing attention to whomever may be on the other side of the door, allowing you a enraptured audience as you make the announcement that you have made twelve, TWELVE cakes! You may then bask in their unmitigated adoration of your baking skills.
In a case such as that, yes, fling that door, baby, fling it wide!
But... when you are just, say, leaving the men's room, just open the damn thing. We don't need to see proof of your alpha male mastery of a simple machine. Just for the record, and so we are clear, you seriously look like a douche when you act like that. If perchance you DO have some grand announcement to make coming out of the men's room, trust me, we would rather not hear it.
That is all.
