Automatic Doors

What do you think about automatic doors? I don't think I agree. The convenience is great but there is always that fear of approaching the door and it remaining shut. It's a terrifying thought, hitting your face into a door that doesn't open for you, when you expected it to. I think, for safety, comfort and assurance, I would like all doors to open manually.

"Some of the doors literally don't open until you get right up to them, the closer you approach the greater the fear becomes that perhaps you will be its latest victim."

Inspired by the work on the Unlands Project

Unlands

Buy/pick/gather/acquire a bunch of flowers, pick/choose your position, stay/remain/exist there, motionless/still/without moving for as long as you can. When you are ready to go, leave the flowers on the bench. Alternatively, you can give the flowers to someone (the person who you feel most wants them), preferably a stranger.

Tip: Try keeping your eyes low and use an ipod to avoid potential contact.

Toothpaste

I always squeeze my toothpaste tube from the middle and then regret it. It's not that I don't know that I shouldn't. It's that comfort of just doing it the way you have always done it. But then at the end of the tube (when there is still more inside) the tube is crumpled and you can't squeeze any more out. Although, what would be worse? If I squeeze the tube from the bottom so the tube stays tidy and easy to use but inevitably taking all substance or to squeeze from the middle (the way I have always done it) and deal with the problems.

When My Eyes Aren't Closed

When I close my eyes it isn't so I can't see what I can't see when my eyes aren't closed. I can see what my eyes can't see when my eyes aren't closed and what they can't see when my eyes are open and everything in between that too.
