I already know the answer: infidelity.

How insulting must it be to find out your significant other is cheating on you with the door? Oh yes, the women love that big handle, and the men do, as well ;) How they make love to that door when their significant other is gone. That door does things their significant other only wishes they could do. They unleash their passion with the door. Oh yes! They love it, so!

But the door is a slut. Both parties know it. They know the door isn't loyal. It can't truly love them both. So it loves neither. And they hate the door for it. So they slam it. They slam it each and every time they touch it. They slam it for pleasure. They slam it as payback. They slam it to cause it pain. The door will be slammed because they door must be slammed.

And the cycle continues.

It's not the door, stupid. It's Mr. Moon.

So I replaced "the door" with "Mr.Moon" in WhenInRome...'s soliloquy, and am now vaguely disturbed.
Thanks much.  >:(

Maybe, it's those bright fluorescent lights that they have in their homes.

When in Rome...

I prefer the window to the door.

It slides open wide and brings a breath of fresh air. I don't have to wonder if its locked nor look for the key. And the view is more attractive.
Help others, especially animals. Say what you think, be considerate of others. Appreciate more than deprecate. Teach well, jump on teachable moments. Enjoy Korea as it is, without changing it. Dwell! Yet, at times, change your life for the better. "The most important [thing] is to have a good day."

They're sleep deprived because of their fierce opposition to memory foam pillows. Anyone who has been in Korea for more or less a month would realize this.

Gawd you Savant. You'd be laughed out of the building as windows don't have keys; doors do have a knob, and you are free to polish it.

Humor aside, there are windows with keys out there.

You all need to move beyond the hunt-and-peck technique: practice touch typing enough and you'll never lose track of a key again.
