How not to pullWhile in Lisbon, I kept walking into doors. The reason is that they had signs on them saying puxe, roughly pronounced "pusha".
Unfortunately, puxe means "pull". And however many times I got it wrong, I could never remember whether I'd pushed or pulled on the previous occasion.

It gets worse.Pular means jump.
So when on a Portuguese or Brazilian aircraft, read the signs on the door carefully. When It says push, don't push, and when it says pull, don't jump.
