Also, doors should be always pulled when you go in and pushed when you go out.
Note that, with standard door hardware, this would introduce a security hole. A locked door which opens outward is trivially easy to open without the key, because you can slide a credit card or other jimmy over the latching mechanism. When the door opens inward, you can't get to the latch because the door jam protects it.

What part of "He insists he didn't say anything until after the verdict" don't you understand?
And this is explicitly mentioned in the summary, you don't even have to RTFA to see it. Do you just read the first line of all your email before you respond.
Now who is the idiot?

Fixed that for you.
