the magic of the doormatic
It’s Time For a Pop Quiz. Ready? Go!
Person A and Person B both use a cane to help them get around the house. Person A goes into her kitchen, pours a cup of coffee, grabs a small stack of bills to pay, and heads to her home office, where the door is closed. There’s no table nearby upon which to set her coffee or papers down, so she shifts the bills and the mug into one hand, slightly spilling her coffee in the process, hooks the cane over her wrist to free up her hand, and bangs her leg with the cane as she twists her arm to open the door. She reaches down to wipe up the coffee spill, drops two of her bills into the puddle , picks those up, and finally settles down into her chair with a sigh of exasperation.

Person B also pours a cup of coffee and picks up some important papers, and also heads off to her home office to take care of business. As she approaches the closed office door, it gently swings open, and she smoothly enters the room, places everything on her desk and gets right to work.
