Aug 17 2009Fail: How Not To Use An Automatic Door

NEW POST YAY, GW LIVES!!!!

This idiot with the door however.....

....nurrrrr

Good God... An Engineering student?!

@3 I think so

THANK GOD YOU'RE BACK GW !

I CAN NOW GET MY LIFE BACK ON TRACK !

I SOLD MY HOUSE, WIFE, CAR & EVEN YOUNGEST CHILD TO COME AND FIND YOU !

Guess I won't be needing to anymore...
Well...

**** D=

I think this trait of charging things head-on is what spawned the invention of turbans.

Its genetic.

worst song ever

Haha. That standard school learning done fail the 'smartest'. Hope you had a good weekend binge GW!

this very easily could have happened at the office i work in.

While he failed to properly use the door, in the battle of student vs. door, the student, much to my surprise, actually won. That door shattered under the pressue of his attack and he seems to be ok. That door will never stand in his way again.

You know what happens to people who walk through automatic doors in the muslim world...

An Engineering student?! Absolutely "Fail" - in every sense of the word.

I'm gonna start a "I hate Firewall's" club, i been waitin for a GW post all weekend and the first one up i can't see due to F... FW... FML... or FMW FW

@13

Welcome to the club.

Wow, glass door, I know it opens somehow.... I wonder how I can get through withough looking a complete spoontard.

Head Down, Run, Smash. Stand around rubbing head.

fail

I hope that knocked some sense into him.

goddam
I meant without

Maybe that's how you're actually supposed to use automatic doors, and we've all been doing it wrong this whole time.

I bet this guy feels like a 'Doork'

I'm skeptical about this one. Didn't he have to use the door to get into the building in the first place?

Ahhh, how was everyones weekend.... what did I get up to?

Got a reckless driving ticket for speeding (like a boss)
proccedded to get drunk for hte weekend (like a boss)
scrapped my knees to all hell diving on a rock volleyball court (like a boss)
ate some brats (like a boss)
burned a camping chair (like a boss)
hit a small bucket of golf balls I stole from a driving range into the St. Croix river off a cliff (like a boss)
jumped in after those golf balls into the river via a 40 ft jump (like a boss)
promoted synergy (like a boss)
tried to stand an entire tree that was knocked down in the river back up and sprained my wrists and hurt my back (like a boss)
threw an aerobie frisbee accross the entire saint croix river (like a boss)
drank an entire bottle of the cheapest possible vodka (like a boss)
had ax and hatchet throwing contest and won (like a boss)

@19: I came here to say the exact same thing. I'm thinking that this is fake & that it was all for a gag. If you look, you can see that he stops juuuussst short of the pressure sensor area (or whatever it's called) before making a mad run to the door & lunging at it.

Besides, like you said. He was already in the building, so he must have figured it out on his way in.

The first post of the week is a video I can't watch. Awesome.

@STOMPY that sounds like quite an eventful weekend, great job. I once launched a baby over the st. croix river from the back of a dumptruck with broken hydraulics(like a boss)

Later reports noted the student left uninjured due to using a novelty eagle head attached to the top of a form fitting hat.

*sigh* More idiots.

And just think! One day he will be building a car you drive!

He could have followed someone in earlier.
If he was up to no good on the way out... I would think he'd look around to see if anyone was watching him first.

confused guy is confused.

I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!

Moo

It has been my experience that some people that we regard as geniuses generally have little to no common sense. Like my sister, who asked me the other day how to send a package through the mail.

Oh those crazy Pakistanis. They are always great at a party.

New post please!

He doesn't even try to open it manually?

There is a person on the bottom left corner of the screen who doesn't move or react to the breaking glass?

And at the very last frame you can see a novelty eagle in the reflection off his eye off the other students saved by the bell trapper keep as seen in the reflection of a broken peice of glass, just open in photoshop and click on "enlarge sector g-45.4354" and than click "enhance"... it looks like this...

@28 I want an X-Muslim comic on my desk by Friday.

engineering student? really...? i want to see his grades.

I did that once, except it was a shark aquarium, not an automatic door. Oh, and the aquarium also didn't break and I got a concussion and a broken nose. Oh yeah, and my girlfriend left me.

i thought i was gonna hafta enter the labyrinth with plastic jewelry to bribe hoggle and save the GW from the clutches of david bowie.

i actually LOL'd at this one
i'm getting those stares from coworkers again...

@21: It is a little odd, but it's also possible that in the past he always walked through the doors closely behind other people, assuming that they had some way to activate the door that he hadn't yet figured out.

Also, I don't think there's a pressure plate there. As far as I know, nearly all automatic doors nowadays use infra-red sensors - what most people think of as motion sensors - rather than any kind of mechanical devices like pressure plates.

Somebody should've let him know it's not platform 9 3/4

@39

Sad HP fan win.

@39. Nice. It does actually remind me of that scene quite a bit.

I suppose the most interesting observation was why said student decided to bum-rush some five feet to the door. Hesitation is ALWAYS the universal response to caution/confusion, which wasn't the case here. Very interesting...

What does that tell us?

DONT hire Paki engineers! They don't understand the mechanics of moving glass and modern electrical systems......just mud huts. Damn Pakis

last time I tryed to walk through a glass door the only broken thing was my nose

:(

those doors are confusing http://kyle143.mybrute.com

I wonder why he stands on one foot for a while..

@46

He's using his knee/thigh as a "table" to go through his papers.

haha xD welcome to modern world (the hard way)

Words fail me. Isn't that like day one stuff? These people can make Nukes but they cant open a door. I am scared.

Chances are he was trying to injure himself for the sake of sueing, and then settling out of court for some decent money. He waits till the room is empty, looks over his shoulder and waits for one person to leave view of the door - and then charges at ONE door, headbutting the weakest edge. He then STANDS AROUND and waits for people to come and see so he can tell his story about how "the door didn't work and I'm really really hurt I'm going to sue."

Probably more likely than an engineering student who SOMEHOW has never used automatic doors before. Pakistan isn't all sandhouses, America. They have skyscrapers and technology too.

I think our nukes were made by similar geniuses...

Btw, wouldn't it be freakin' awesome if we painted this guy's face on the tip of one of our missiles??? Lmao!

GW, thank you for this. I will treasure it always.

Think of this the next time your company gets the bright idea to hire Pakistani engineers because they're cheaper than their American counterparts.

Note to self: avoid bridges on next visit to Pakistan.

Evil Ash hit the nail on the head. Nobody is that stupid, not even good ole Dubya. The fact that he hangs around afterwards and waits for a crowd that he can show his injuries to indicates he is trying to assign blame.

Lawsuit - perhaps. An excuse to skip finals - moer likely !!

can anyone smell COMPENSATION!!!

nope. Obviously a terrorist.

Must See

All I can hear when he is ramping up to go through the door is the Indian chants from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

Molla Rom Seega Rom!!

That´s Jihad baby!!!!

Has anyone considered his leap portal might have failed?

@50 THANK you. I've seen this video posted on a few sites now and that is exactly what I've been thinking. The waiting and looking around until 'the coast is clear' is key. He also ducks his head down like he is preparing to become a human battering ram. Clearly he did it on purpose, most likely for some kind of lawsuit.

@62, Coming from Pakistan, I can assure you taking this to the courtroom wouldn't be worth his while. 3 years, 2 wives and 6 children after, he would probably win but then the defense attorney would file an appeal and.. need I say more?

lol

I DECLARE A JIHAD ON ALL DOORS! AHHHHHH! Ouch! Is this paradise? It looks like the Engineering Building. Why are all my virgins dudes. Why are they yelling at me and not servicing me?

I wanted him to stop, fall to his knees and pray to allah to get the doors to open, THAT would have been funny !

This is SPARTA!!!!!! he looks like leonidas if you look at his beard and face alittle bit lol. This is how it is done in sparta!!!!

"Just go through the door."
