I know that I never really intentionally enter through the exit door, but there are many times I do by mistake. I always realize right after and awkwardly say oops and realize there is nothing left to do but keep going.
I think I enter through exit doors because I either do not realize that it is an exit door, or the entrance door is inconvenient, blocked off, or too far away.
The times that I enter through exit doors is because the exit door is on the side I am closest too and I am too last to walk a few extra feet. I know that this is extremely lazy and pathetic but I do not feel that it is a big deal to enter through a door that says exit, especially the automatic doors. Most of them open anyways so I just walk through them.
Sometimes, I don't even think about which door I'm entering. If there are too many people trying to get through the entrance door, I just go through the exit to get around the crowds.
When I am in a rush to get groceries, I usually don't pay attention to the enter/exit signs. Also, if I am too close to the exit side when I'm trying to enter, I keep going because I don't want to look stupid.
I feel that doors are made to be walked through, and if its more convenient to walk through one instead of the other then I will walk through that one.
Sometimes, I do not pay attention to the signs on the door. I also do not realize when the exit sign is on the right and the enter sign is on the left which is a reverse to how direction works in the United States.
I sometimes enter through an exit door just because it is the closest, it is already open or I am following my husband and that is the door he went through.
Most of the time, I don't realize that I'm going through the exit door until there are people coming out. I don't really mean to do it, I just guess I am not paying attention at that moment.

I enter through the exit door because sometimes it is more convenient
I know that I never really intentionally enter through the exit door, but there are many times I do by mistake. I always realize right after and awkwardly say oops and realize there is nothing left to do but keep going.
I enter through the exit doors because I doesn't really matter to me which one says enter or exit
I enter through the exit door mostly because I am in a rush and don't take the time to read the signs.
I think I enter through exit doors because I either do not realize that it is an exit door, or the entrance door is inconvenient, blocked off, or too far away.
I usually either don't care or just don't realize that it is an exit.

I think it sort of makes me feel like a rebel.
I usually don't even notice when I am entering through the exit doors.
Sometimes, entering through the exit is much more convenient than finding the appropriate entrance.
Sometimes, I don't even think about which door I'm entering. If there are too many people trying to get through the entrance door, I just go through the exit to get around the crowds.
When I am in a rush to get groceries, I usually don't pay attention to the enter/exit signs. Also, if I am too close to the exit side when I'm trying to enter, I keep going because I don't want to look stupid.
The exit doors open the same as the enter doors, and if there is not a crowd exiting the exit doors i don't see what the big difference is.
I enter through the exit doors because they are usually closer to where I am at the time and a lot of times I'm too lazy to walk to the enter doors.
I feel that doors are made to be walked through, and if its more convenient to walk through one instead of the other then I will walk through that one.
I am either not paying attention or just get slowed down by all the people heading towards the entrance, so I cut corners.
Sometimes, I do not pay attention to the signs on the door. I also do not realize when the exit sign is on the right and the enter sign is on the left which is a reverse to how direction works in the United States.

Usually don't recognize what i am doing at the time
I am too lazy to walk to the entrance.
Wal-Mart is the only place I have ever been that has entrance and exit doors. I really do not pay attention to the door I walk towards.
because it is convenient
They are still doors that perform their primary function of opening.
Most of the time, I don't realize that I'm going through the exit door until there are people coming out. I don't really mean to do it, I just guess I am not paying attention at that moment.
