Default left hinge door, right hinge storm

For heaven's sake, WHY??

It seems really inconvenient to me, and I'm trying to talk him out of it
(although I expect to lose, as I have lost every damned point on our
current project.)

Does anybody have anything that I could use to persuade him?


Don't do it. It's a pain in the ass. It's a *major* nuisance if you have
anything in your hands as you're coming in the door -- either you switch
hands, or you have to make an awkward reach for the inside doorknob.

It makes it *very* awkward to carry anything big enough to require two
people through the door, and definitely limits the size of things that can be
carried.

And it's just "wrong". Doors aren't normally set up that way. It's unusual.
It's clumsy and awkward. *Nobody* likes it.
