Doors with personality

Have you ever paused to contemplate the major crisis it would be if all the doors united in rebellion? What if every door we used decided to have a mind of its own: opening and closing as it desired, as well as locking and unlocking whenever it pleased? We would suddenly have a very difficult day ahead of us. Imagine going to the refrigerator to get yourself some nice cold milk. Yeah, that's not gonna happen today. Work? Nope, you are gonna be locked inside. Who dares to take a shower? We are so dependant on doors. So now I can see you contemplating to yourself..."How in the world did he get on a rant about doors?" Well, believe it or not...the doors were in open rebellion against me today. Carefully weigh the evidence as I enlighten you with my experience. Exhibit A: I was awakened this morning when my aunts maid turned on the light. We both nearly died as the awkwardness of the situation settled in. THE DOOR WAS OPEN (I always close it at night). Exhibit B: At work we use magnetized cards to get into otherwise restricted laboratories. Two of my co-workers were having trouble getting in because the door simply didn't like them. Exhibit C: I arrived home from work to find the door locked (and I don't have a key) so I called my Aunt on the phone to get her to unlock the door. Soon I can hear her on the other side yell...."It is unlocked!" She tried locking and unlocking the door several times, wiggling the knob, even pushing and pulling on the door. I did the same on my side. Our efforts were in vain. I eventually had to go in a different door. What made the door lock that way? We still can't figure it out. Doors....I'm on to you. All those within observation of this blog, beware of your doors, their day draws nigh.

hahaha, oh man. You're a very humorous writer. But with that fact aside, I'm sorry you were in the wrath of doors today.
