I've come to the conclusion that there is something inherently wrong with that phrase, especially if you're trying to work in the media. Think about it or visualise, if you will: There you are, trying to get into a place, and the only access is through the door, which has just barely opened. Then, based on the concept of 'G.Y.F.T.T.D', (that actually seems Welsh!) you place your foot through the gap. Has it ever occurred to you that the door might actually be made of iron10 inches thick and there is a high probability that you might need an amputation afterwards?
Hence, based on real life experience ( I've had a door of a peugeot 505 slammed on my fingers at full force!), I've come up with the 'Ak Stopper ™ '. This device is guaranteed to stop any further pains of crushed feet. Forget trying to sacrifice your foot in order to get in. Place the 'Ak Stopper™' , and not only will it give you easy access in and out of places with your full body, but also with finess.
I know.. I have a hyperactive mind at times

Shop to it!
Ahh, the joys of shopping. We all have one form of shopping or the other that we carry out at least once a week, and also depending on what kind of budget you have.
I hate shopping. Period. Never have or never will like shopping. There are only certain things that I would have no qualms wanting to shop for: Anything photography based; books (including graphic novels, although some philistines define graphic novels as 'comics'. What an insult!!) Apart from these shopping needs, for other stuff, I always go Blitzkrieg shopping. In and out. That's it. You know what you want, and you grab what you need.
However, the Blitzkrieg shopping technique can be flawed every now and then. Ever had one of those shopping moments that you are in such a hurry to buy stuff, that you forget that most important of things: The Shopping list. Oh, yeah: We've all been there. With no list, we try to improvise with the following techniques:
1. Visualise yourself back at home, and rammaging through whats needed for shopping. You then take said 'retrieved' information and hope that said information was as good as what could have been on the shopping list.
2. Use the moblile phone. It helps if you can have a good reception to call on family and friends who are forever raiding your flat for supplies, and then have the audacity to tell you that you've run out of the essentials (which, I may add, was actually nicked by them!)
3. Basket Spy: If you have ever tried the first 2 examples, and not succeeded, you may have, nay, you WOULD have tried the 'Basket Spy'® Technique. All you need to do is look into the baskets of other fellow shoppers on the aisle for pointers to what you might need at home. The catch with that is you might be seen as a stalker looking at their feeding/living habits, when in all fairness, you're just looking for tips.
Enjoy your shopping!
