Do you use the "handicap button" to open a door?

There is only one place I visit that has one of these. It just happens to be the liquor store. So yeah, I use it, if my hands are full.

If I'm with 3 or more people and I get to the door first, I will usually push the button instead of holding the door for everyone.

So what doors do the handicapped use? Secret ones you can't see?

Yep. I have no issues with it. Mainly office buildings and some stores. But always try to use them.

Depends, are my hands full? Am I in a hurry and I cannot keep the door open for the person behind me? In these two cases I would use the "button".

If not, why not open the door.

They prob work in an area without doors :p no, just saying that I've only seen non-handicap people use those buttons, and I think to myself "you know, that isn't there for you to be lazy"...but yes, I agree it's handy if your hands are full or if you're in a hurry and can't hold the door for others...

what other "answers" in my poll do you need? it covers all bases, but just not specifically like "sometimes"...if you sometimes do, then yes, you use the button :D

I used them at my college. Mostly because they are placed before you get to the door(by the time you got to the door it would be open) and we would usually have a group of people going with us (going to dinner) so the first person would hit the button and everyone would walk through.
