My new Reo trick

[Renrav]

You see, I used to carry a zippo with me at all times, and was always fiddling with it. This might be one of the reasons I enjoy the Reo so much; If you're nervous or bored you can slide the door up and down and annoy anyone within earshot of you(just kidding, I would never do that on purpose...probably). Recently though, I accidentally figured out how to actually fling the door completely off, one-handed. I don't know if anyone else will find this interesting or fun, but I'm enjoying it. I took a picture to make this easier to explain. I start off with it closed and lightly resting on my ring finger. While holding the body with my index and middle finger I use my thumb to slide the door down against my ring finger, so it looks like this:

Now all I have to do is keep pressure applied with my ring finger, and when I let my thumb slide off, scha-link! I usually just do it with just enough pressure to slide up and right back down, but it's easy to make it go flying off somewhere. For this reason I try to be careful in my car, since I've had to go digging between my seats searching for my Reo door more than once.

Anyway, I don't know if this particular nervous habit has been mentioned before. Hopefully someone will find this amusing. If so, I apologize in advance to anyone who has to spend any time near you(my girlfriend hates this)!

drives my husband nuts!!! I love this...I do it often while stressing. Makes me feel better. Keep schlick-clicking!

Haha, I've only had my REO Grand for a week and I've already found myself subconsciously sliding the door up and down too! And yes, it does drive people nuts!

I knew there was a reason I liked you people!
We all have the same nervous tick!
If you get brave move the finger down below and if the door is traveling fast enough going down it will bypass the magnets completely!
That door is like a mini Gheotine<SP?>

On the metal REO's I put my thumb in the squonk hole and flick the door up, then let it fall back down!

On the wood REO's I usually just put my thumb on the door and push it up and let it fall down. I like falling wood better! LOL! It clunks!

Oh, and it can be heard over the phone. I have been called out a few times for clunking a wood door!

I do like how the metal door annoys the general public, especially when your stuck in a doctors empty waiting room with an annoying receptionist!

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one! That was fun reading, Rhapsodies, thanks for killing a bit of my workday!

The bad thing though, is that I now have something else to learn...just a few minutes ago, while reading those other threads, I did something else new: I was (of course) flicking my door up, it came completely off and the atty/drip tip "caught" my door through the hole!

I haven't been able to repeat this yet, but I can't stop trying. Good thing my boss is not in the office at the moment.

My Reo is also fairly new, while in class when it is past time for a break I find myself fiddling with the door of the Reo, the instructor quickly dismisses us LOL Small Business class is so boring with such a monotone instructor!

I do this constantly too, Karen. It makes me happy!
