Never caught a belt loop but occasionally snag a key lanyard.
Hadn't thought about a dog opening, haven't had a dog for a few years.
Purely aesthetic for us. The house was built in 1999 and my wife felt the old gold colored door knobs looked dated and I'm sure she's correct. Replacing them with modern looking black levers.Quote:

Be happy they found the problem before taking off.
Once I had the privilege of being in the first group of passengers to fly on a freshly delivered SAS Airbus A-something from Copenhagen to Newark. The entire cowling was off on one of the engines before the flight while they "checked everything over again."
We made it.
Levers are also great when you have shit in your hands and need to open a door. I've found myself flailing to grab and turn the round knob with a bunch of shit in my hands, and it usually ends with the door still closed and said shit on the floor.Quote:

Infuriating shit.
Where's that woman when you need her?Attachment 466020
Levers are fucking awesome when both hands are occupied and an elbow or a knee quickly opens the door.
Putting the comforter *back into* the duvet. Like why is there only a 3 ft opening for a king size spread. Annoying.
That's what those little tie-in points are for at the corners...Quote:

We cover everything over and over. Do you read the I-70 bitch thread?Quote:

Can you get a load of people going slow in the left lane, amirite?Quote:
