Was I supposed to open doors using nothing but my elbows?
Yes, actually.
My mother called me with directions to her new apartment...
"Go into the lobby and hit '614' with your elbow. I'll buzz you in."
"Go into the elevator and hit '6' with your elbow."
"Get off the elevator, turn right, and go down the hall to Apartment 614. Hit the doorbell with your elbow. I'll let you in."
"Why with my elbow?" I asked.
She replied, "You're not coming empty handed, are you?"
