Pull

Have you ever thought about how much of a design failure something like this is?


You can just see through the glass that the handle on the other side is identical, so that one is probably labeled "push."

    At my workplace, there is a glass door with a horizontal push bar. Except you have to pull on it to open the door. Only the other side can be pushed. Even though it says PULL on it in big letters, we all forget and push because horizontal bars say PUSH to our brains. If only the architect had read The Design of Everyday Things...

    A Norman door! Even the label looks misleading — wouldn’t you have to turn and then pull?
