Smack! Ouch! A patio door in the way of my face!

[Begonia]

On my way into our conservatory.....well, guess what?

Correct. The door was closed and not open!

Smack! Ouch! Again! Grrrrr! "&$^&£&*$%!"

How dare that be? Who would have thought it?

Anyone any brilliant ideas as to how best to tell that a totally invisible glass patio door is 'there' rather than 'not there'?

This is why a lot of places have sandblasted patterns in their glass around eye level. Maybe you could do a bit of DIY on your door.

Pretty stickers or frosted glass plastic strips/stickers, this can actually look really good if done right

You can get stickers that are intended to prevent birds flying into them.

Even better, he could get photos of himself put onto stickers and apply them to the door.

Done that,
First thing is checking that no one saw you do it.

Thanks for the suggestion. The solution does have to be to do with something like this but the door is inside the house and in between the lounge and the conservatory.

A butterfly might be more appropriate than a 'wild bird'. Albeit, that thinking about 'wild birds' does linger somewhat towards the further reaches of my imagination. However, Mrs Begonia would not like my best idea and might tear her image down.

Common sense also works

Print this out and stick on door.

THIS IS A DOOR STUPID!

Mrs B so far.....

1. Is the door damaged?

2. Did it hurt?

Grrrrrrrr!

Look at the handle - if it's in the "closed" position it's closed

Did you have your drink in your hand or did you put it down first?
