JesusDoes anyone else make Jedi force gestures before walking through automatic doors at a grocery store?
MrJameGumbNo. Literally no one does this but you. Congratulations đ

JeredinWait, there are people who donât? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if Iâm kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and Iâm okay with that.
SeanThatâs what I thought, too. Itâs almost like a second nature to wave my hand across those automatic doors.
đMaximum DerekđWorking in a grocery store in high school blunted that fun for me, because when youâre busy and trying to go in and out those doors can be frustratingly slow. I like to think better of my Jedi powers.
But, since then, I do get the desire to shoulder-check the door to pop it off the tracks - so I can use it as a swing door. I got good at doing it when Iâd do cart returns.
Frequently
I donât always use my Jedi powers, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis.
No. But when a door doesnât open I always think of the Simpsons episode where Bart sold his sole to Milhouse.
And automated paper towel dispensers⌠âYou will give me a paper towel, now.â And they reply (in my mind), âTo gibba pappa towa, nowâ.
I like to do a little karate chop
My gestures, if I were to make them, would be more akin to Dr. Strangeâs sling ring gestures, Tony Starkâs virtual desktop gestures, or John Andertonâs virtual desktop gestures.
Sometimes when Iâm with my 5 and 3 year olds, yeah.
I do it to get traffic lights to change before I have to brake.
No, but Iâm going to. Thanks.
spittingimageI used to, but my timing was so bad it was just embarrassing.
Slow down a bit, like youâre trying but itâs heavier than you thought and youâre kinda struggling with it
thenextguyI snap my fingers as I approach red traffic lights and my confirmation bias is off the charts.
If youâre driving at night, you gotta flash them brights.
Iâm more of a toaster magician đ
Lift / elevator doors. Often small single finger swipes so others donât notice.
I just thought everybody did thisâŚ

Call me Lenny/LeniConsidering my history with doors, yes I have tried that, along with the Thanos snap and getting in trouble for trying the kamehameha on a school bully.
Iâm a below average height male and on periodic occasion I donât trigger the motion sensing ones and itâs awkward. Now I typically always just raise my arm and wave instinctively. Not quite jedi gestures, but eh.
You mean other people donât?!?
I make Sith force gestures
Hey man sorry to ask you this but can you put a good word in for me with your dad ?
And at stoplights, yes.
âYou will turn greenâ
turns green
âYeah, Iâm a fuckinâ Jedi.â
âNo youâre not. You just watched the light on the cross street.â
âI find your lack of faith disturbing.â
My old town had stop lights that were timed nearly perfectly if you went the speed limit. Only exception was when they were resetting from an emergency vehicle passing (or pedestrian).
I would wave my hand and mutter some Jedi stuff at it and it would change. People still gunned it from one light to get stopped at the nextâŚ
I do it on elevator doors.

I do it to the subway doors sometimes. At least once it made someone laugh pretty hard, which was nice.
