Maybe you could name this phenomenon as @jennyson‘s law.

I don’t have that problem. They open themselves as I walk by. Maybe you piss them off.

I don’t why either, but you speak the truth. You should be an observation comedian, like Jerry Seinfeld.

I never had that problem. That bitch is getting torn open the first time around. :-)

A related question: With plastic bags that have their own “zip lock” seal, why is it opening them causes the “zip lock” strip to end up closed on one side of the bag?

Oh don’t get me started. When I take my puppy out for her walks I have this everytime with those poo poo bags. They’re small & slightly reinforced a bit thicker than your average plastic bag. Can I hell open them without a fight.I blow I pull she sits there crossing her legs it takes me so long. Like a scene from Laurel & Hardy, forlorn look at camera! Anyway.. ahem yeah I don’t know why just know it annoys me.

Let me clear this up for all of you. It’s an engineering feature, the same kind that keeps Windows from opening instantly, cars from accelerating instantly when the light turns green, and IT support lines from answering instantly when you have a huge PC problem. The purpose: to give you a few moments to smell the roses whether you want to or not. :-)
