Door Handles and Wedding Rings Don’t Mix

[W1SE]

So I guess I have been opening my door wrong. I should be grabbing the outside and not putting my fingers through the inside.

There is only one obvious solution to this. Please tell your wife I’m very sorry.

You don’t need to go that extreme. You could just take the ring off.

Speaking as a former bike messenger who has been “doored” a few times in my life, this is very good advice for all.

Don't the Dutch wear their rings on the right hand?

I'm surprised at how many random, but useful, things I learn on these forums. Going to start practicing this technique!

I am going to have it fixed with my service appt next month. Then I will put a piece of PPF on there.

Good enough.

How did you even do this? I paid attention today when o-ending my door, and I can’t even fit my third (ring) finger in the handle. I typically just use my index finger. My index and middle were the most I’d comfortably put in the handle. My ring doesn’t get close to the metal in normal use.
