The Design of Everyday Things is a fantastic book by the man the Norman Door is named after.

In the book, Norman introduced the term affordance as it applied to design,[3]: 282  borrowing James J. Gibson's concept from ecological psychology.[1] In the revised edition of his book in 2013, he also introduced the concept of signifiers to clarify his definition of affordances.[4] Examples of affordances are doors that can be pushed or pulled. These are the possible interactions between an object and its user. Examples of corresponding signifiers are flat plates on doors meant to be pushed, small finger-size push-buttons, and long and rounded bars we intuitively use as handles. As Norman used the term, a door affords pushing or pulling, and the plate or button signals that it is meant to be pushed, while the bar or handle signals pulling.[3]: 282–3 [5]: 9  Norman discussed door handles at length.[6][5]: 10, 87–92

Yeah, this is a pretty easy one to tell. No hinges, it's on the other side of the door frame, I don't see a way to think this could be a pull door.

Honestly, I don't get how a simple door could cause a nervous breakdown. Just try opening it.

I'm surprised at all the wrong answers in this thread. The correct way to use this door is to shove your arm through a glass pane and go to the hospital.

Either the door is ajar, or the jar is a door.

Either way, don't fuck the jar, Randy learned the hard way last week...
