How to pass through a door

After holding the door for eight people to pass through a restaurant without even acknowledging my courtesy, I started wondering if this was really common sense or not.

Although it seems a very simple process, it may not be clear to everyone, so I created a graphic to illustrate it. I also thought it would help to add it to the entrances of my school.

If you feel that your work, restaurant, building (you name it) might also benefit from one, here is a graph for you to print:
