Last night, when my family ate at KuruKuru sushi (YUM, sushi...), I failed to open the restaurant door. Why, you may ask?
Because I have an crippling inability to read, which results in humiliation in front of large crowds of diners as I stubbornly continue to push on a door labeled "Pull". It's a regrettable talent.
Certainly, I felt like I was doing a considerable amount of work. But work is defined in our textbook as "the product of displacement and force", and that door clearly wasn't going anywhere. Since the door wasn't moving, there was ZERO displacement. And everyone knows that zero times anything will always equal zero. No matter HOW MUCH FORCE I used trying to get that stubborn door open, it just wouldn't budge.
Therefore, I was doing zero work, and still managing to humiliate myself. It almost leaves me wishing I had been doing some kind of work, because that would mean, well, that the door was opening...
Interesting.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Awww. Kira! It's totally fine, I do that all the time too! (Sometimes, I even pull the push doors! :O) Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for your last sentence, that would also mean you're breaking the door...O_o
XDD. Either that or the sign was wrong, and I was right....
