Never mind bed knobs and broomsticks, what about door handles and doorknobs? Some of our interior doors have door handles, and others have doorknobs.
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 on a different door handle 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.

well yes, and no. i agree with you about the sleeve grabber effect. it's happened to me several times! but as we age, i find twisting a knob becomes a problem. the handles are easier to operate -- BG
Yes. Don't get me wrong though, I do like them, especially seeing as they allow me to use my elbow to open them when my hands aren't free. They just don't align with my height.
