If there's a handle on the outside, I guess I'd assume that I had to pull it open. If there's not, I suppose I'd push it.

Seeing as how I don't like touching door handles and whatnot, I'd push it open with my foot as I normally do.

I had to open a pull restroom door with my foot once... Needless to say I never touched my shoes again, not like I did in the first place.

I've done silly stuff like that too, then on top of the door being pull-to-open there are no paper towels, they use those stupid hand dryers.

Yes! That is the worst! Especially when they have the air hand dryer because then you can't even use a paper towell to turn the handle. Trying to use a door handle with your elbow is pretty tough stuff.

I flipping hate those! So get this, in the same restroom I opened the door with my foot in, the sink had one of those "hold the button down to make the water run" faucets, so I swung my leg above the sink, and held the button down with the back of my foot. That was a restroom I swore I'd never go in again.

Push would be the obvious answer, people on the other side have to get out the way, if you pull it's you who has to avoid the door.

I pull until there's room to put my head around the door. Once I know the coast is clear, I push the door open and run off.

No offense but is this really the best question you could come up with? Are you going to read through all the responses and take pleasure in knowing who pushes and who pulls? I voted push

Almost everyone pushes. That's the whole point really. Those doors exist so that everyone can push because it's easier than pulling.

I'll push it, unless there's someone on the other side and I don't want to push the door into their path / maybe it will make it easier if we're both going through the door.

There's some glass doors in the library that push and pull (one door, not two doors with one doing each), and there's bookcases on the other side so there's not a lot of room when the door opens.

Pushing provides more benefits I guess. Besides that , don't give it any thought. As it deserves.

I tend to pull - even when it clearly says "push" on the sign. I don't always do that, though :-P

Seems like a "Is the glass half full/empty?" kind of question. I generally prefer pushing a door.

I would probably pull it because really if you could do both and there's a handle to pull then I am automatically going to pull it. The only exception to handles where you can push are those with the long handle like a towel rack.

If there's a handle, I'll pull. I hate it when doors you're supposed to push have handles.
