Hazardous Door Handles

Never mind bedknobs and broomsticks, what about door handles and doorknobs? Some of our interior doors have door handles, and others have doorknobs.


On two occasions now, I've had trouble with door handles, or rather, my t-shirts have had trouble with door handles. They're at the exact height to be able to slip under my sleeve as I walk past, and I've found this to be hazardous when I'm carrying something I don't want to spill.


The jerk is so sharp and unexpected that my sudden stop results in what I'm carrying to propel forward - last night a wine glass flew off the tray, smashing on my tile floor of course (Ha! Lucky we brought so many of our glasses over in the container)
.

Last week as I was taking a rotten mango outside on a cutting board, a different shirt got caught and stopped me in my tracks, jerking the mess off the board onto the carpet. Argh! I feel like such a klutz when I do these things.
