my entire family goes to bed at 9:30 because i live with fucking old people (im joking. somewhat.) and from then on i have to move around the house quietly. this wouldn't be a problem except that my door is incredibly and uniquely fucked up and nigh impossible to open even remotely quietly

#and it can't be left open because the cat will beeline into my room and make my life hell #every door in my house is absolutely fucking horrible in its own way but my room is really bad #the doorknob is like. dislocated. or just made for a much thicker door because the middle part of it is like 3 cm too long #and i either have to align it carefully or pull on it (makes a very loud sound) and then using a very specific amount of pressure turning #while continuing to pull on it so it won't pop #oh and i can technically open it turning both directions but going right makes it pop so fucking loud it's actually ridiculous #the very unpleasant sound of painted metal on painted metal #kiwifae says shit #my partner of two years is just getting the hang of my bedroom door #my friend came over and literally got stuck in the bathroom cuz she couldn't make the door open again #she literally tried for a few seconds and then just yelled for me 😭#that door also pops open randomly sometimes. i do not know why. it didn't use to.#back when the front door was still semi functional i had to fish the literal latch out of the cavity in the lock with a screwdriver cuz my #mom kept slamming the door and misaligning it even though we told her that's what fucks it up #we can only deadbolt that door now. it literally won't close otherwise. (that's how we lost the cat for five days!)#(back when it still semi worked i was the only one who knew how to close it at just the right strength so it would stick but not fall out)#((why isn't there an eye twitch emoji))#but our other outside door exclusively has a deadbolt. that's the only mechanism.#i'm the fucking door wizard in my house and i cannot WAIT to move somewhere where i have functional semi modern door handles #gawd bless i want to kill my fucking landlady
