I'm no longer a particularly fast walker, but I have the same problem with automatic doors. I like your magic trick. Maybe it will work for me, too.

I'm no longer a fast walker, but I have the same problem with automatic doors. I'm pretty sure they are sentient and a bit evil. I like your magic trick; I think I'll try it.

You have to walk up and down in a specific spot in my local shop sometimes to get the doors to open and I'm the slowest walker you can imagine.
