    If you wanna do it the correct way, you gotta do it my way. Firstly, you light up a cig then you spit on the floor AND only after you've done that you can proceed with full force kicking the door open, voila! You've now been fired.

    In the house I grew up, there was a policy that if a door was found shut, we should shut it back before we leave. If it was open, we leave it open.
    Is there anything like that in etiquette?

    it just occurred to me that the process isn't symmetric between either side of the door, the "room" gets more face time, which i guess makes sense if people tend to be in rooms and mere hallways tend to be on the other side. but if there are two rooms..does one have to make a guess as to which room has the more important people? :-D if the queen was waiting for you in the hallway would you have alter your passage so that you're facing the queen with the maximum amount of time? does anyone leave her in hallways... :-)

So, when opening the door and entering the room, you do not turn around and make any such manoeuvre to change hands, you change your hands behind your back always facing the people in the room.
