Does anyone else make Jedi force gestures before walking through automatic doors at a grocery store?

I snap my fingers as I approach red traffic lights and my confirmation bias is off the charts.
-
If you're driving at night, you gotta flash them brights.

-
only for 40 years
-
Sometimes when I'm with my 5 and 3 year olds, yeah.
-
Working in a grocery store in high school blunted that fun for me, because when you're busy and trying to go in and out those doors can be frustratingly slow. I like to think better of my Jedi powers.
But, since then, I do get the desire to shoulder-check the door to pop it off the tracks - so I can use it as a swing door. I got good at doing it when I'd do cart returns.
-
Wait, there are people who don’t? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if I’m kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and I’m okay with that.
-
That's what I thought, too. It's almost like a second nature to wave my hand across those automatic doors.
-
-
And at stoplights, yes.
"You will turn green"
turns green
"Yeah, I'm a fuckin' Jedi."
"No you're not. You just watched the light on the cross street."
"I find your lack of faith disturbing."

I make Sith force gestures
-
You mean other people don't?!?
-
No. But when a door doesn't open I always think of the Simpsons episode where Bart sold his sole to Milhouse.
-
I don’t always use my Jedi powers, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis.
-
yes
-
No, but I’m going to. Thanks.
-
I like to do a little karate chop
-
I'm more of a toaster magician 😅
-
I used to, but my timing was so bad it was just embarrassing.

I'm a below average height male and on periodic occasion I don't trigger the motion sensing ones and it's awkward. Now I typically always just raise my arm and wave instinctively. Not quite jedi gestures, but eh.
-
I do it to the subway doors sometimes. At least once it made someone laugh pretty hard, which was nice.
-
And automated paper towel dispensers… “You will give me a paper towel, now.” And they reply (in my mind), “To gibba pappa towa, now”.
-
I do it to get traffic lights to change before I have to brake.
-
I just thought everybody did this...
-
Hey man sorry to ask you this but can you put a good word in for me with your dad ?
-
My gestures, if I were to make them, would be more akin to Dr. Strange's sling ring gestures, Tony Stark's virtual desktop gestures, or John Anderton's virtual desktop gestures.
-
I do it on elevator doors.
-
Considering my history with doors, yes I have tried that, along with the Thanos snap and getting in trouble for trying the kamehameha on a school bully.
-
My old town had stop lights that were timed nearly perfectly if you went the speed limit. Only exception was when they were resetting from an emergency vehicle passing (or pedestrian).
I would wave my hand and mutter some Jedi stuff at it and it would change. People still gunned it from one light to get stopped at the next...
