Did you know it is possible for a door to get so hot that it swells shut? I sure didn't!

I can't open my front door. I learned this yesterday after yanking on the knob so hard that now my entire left side hurts if I inhale too deeply. The day has been punctuated by random screams as I perform tasks such as opening envelopes, throwing a bit of paper into a wastebasket, or putting on a cardigan.

At least nobody can break in.

I have a similar problem with my door, though I can at least open it. I does take some pushing and pulling to open and shut the thing.

I hate this damn heat. When I left work yesterday, my car thermometer read 127.

That's EVIL. 127? Not acceptable. Seriously.

I think that the Arctic Circle is looking *LOVELY* this time of year...

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm thinking of nice ice flow about now

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

This is why you should get rid of your car thermometer. It's not helping.

[nitasee.livejournal.com]

I would, but it's part of the whole electronic overlord dohickey thingamabob system.

But…how can YOU break OUT??

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

That's the other problem...

(My house has a convenient second door. In the back. We call it the back door.)

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

HEE!

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY CAN SOMEONE HELP ME CRACK A WINDOW OR SOMETHING?

That happens to our front door all the time in the heat. Right now I have to use both arms and all my body weight to yank the fucker open and slam it shut again.

I'm twice your size (in metric that would be 20-25 Decavalis), so you can imagine how stuck this damn thing is. I'm afraid I'll pull the knob out.

[kirbyfest.livejournal.com]

Mine does this. Annoying as hell.

I wish I had something wise or funny to say. As it is, all I can think of is OUCH. *pets you*

[amilyn.livejournal.com]

Dood.

I actually DID know that...but...OW!

[ramalama.livejournal.com]

I did know that. Sounds like you might have sprained your solar plexus. (IANAD) A little salve will buff that right out. (NSIANAD)

[annlarimer.livejournal.com]

:D That's not where the solar plexus is. DRYANAD.

[irisbleufic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the bathroom door in one of the houses I grew up in used to do that. Annoying.

Holeee spit.

I think the place you live, is a lot like hell. Only maybe you still have hot coffee.
