Koohii stories:

1) [PacifistGod] 12-2-2007(335): I always open the doors to the public restrooms with my elbows because I don't want to touch the door with my hands.

2) [mcbainpc] 27-6-2008(270): I always enter the doors to the public restrooms with my elbows because I don't want to touch the door with my hands.

3) [tharvey] 27-6-2009(48): The public trains in Japan are so crowded, to enter you have to elbow your way in.

4) [nakome] 7-3-2008(11): It's bad manners to put your elbows on the table when you eat. So, when I come in to public restaurants, I always make sure that I keep my elbows down, out of the public's eye. (notice: down helps me keep track of where the elbow primitive goes).
