No it is the double door they use to exit the building so there is plenty of
room and some of them make a special effort to move to the right side of the
door frame and reach up to touch something. It is quite obviously not
something they do for practical reasons.

I will guess there is an upside-down horseshoe there (it would appear
to look like a U). The superstition is that such an object is to be
hung above a door and touched for "good luck."
