A "bad doorway" is like that moment when you walk into a room and forget why you’re there, except the doorway itself is actively plotting against you. It’s the architectural equivalent of a prankster who makes you trip over your own feet, spill your coffee, and forget your own name—all in one go. Basically, it’s a door with a vendetta and a questionable sense of humor!
Every time I try to walk through that bad doorway, it feels like it’s out to get me, tripping me up and making me spill my drink!

Get the Bad doorwaymug. Doorway effect is a common psychological phenomenon where people forget what they intended to do after walking through a doorway into a new room. It is also known as the "location updating effect," and it is not a sign of memory loss or dementia. The brain creates mental "event boundaries" when crossing a threshold, which helps organize memories but can cause you to forget your original goal in the new environment.
Man, I'm tired of constantly putting the salad inside the fridge due to experiencing doorway effect on my way to the fridge.
