Then those revolving doors, if the person behind pushes it too hard, I get pushed around too fast!
Oh and those pull along plastic shopping baskets, I tried pushing, the handle retracts, I end up head first in the basket!
Any more?
Dogs aren't allowed on them anyway.
So, we use elevators and we are all fine with that.

When I read your title it reminded me when I was a young girl they had a push me pull you animal on TV and I was convinced it was real ! I think it was first TV show I ever saw and I believed everything I saw for ages. Looked for years for a llama with a head at the front and the back

Thank goodness my shopping days due to Internet shopping are limited to small local shops these days where my feet can stay firmly on the ground

I love your description of the plastic shopping baskets!!

It felt like I was being rushed down to the Bowles of the Earth. 
I couldn't get out of there fast enough...….Shudder.

Re: Push me pull me!
We were on our way to Scotland and we had an overnight stop about half way. Dog friendly hotel. Max is now a seasoned traveller but that was his first long trip and his first hotel stay. And his first encounter with an elevator. We were concerned about he would react.
He waltzed right in like he owned it........
It's just one of those many things that make us realise how lucky we got with our rescue.

Your imagination runs riot at times.
