When is a door not a door? When it’s a mouldy lump of creaky tard

October 18, 2007

Man i am trapped inside my own house.. the front door to this dodgy-ass house is wedged in the door frame. it’s not even locked, me and mayur (housemate) had to slam it shut as he left as sometimes it jams at the bottom and u have to pull it really hard in order for it to close. so he was outside the house and i was inside so we counted to 3 and slammed it together and it shut and we heard something crack… we werent holding down the door handle down so the little metal bit inside the door is stuck out and it isnt even properly in the frame its at an angle and ali had to climb out the window to get to his lecture.

not even the first time a door has let me down; the door to my cupboard in the kitchen had a loose upper hinge, and the last time i opened it the screws came out and the door started falling… but since i was holding the handle it rotated about the other hinge and snapped it through so it was completely detached from both hinges. it’s now propped up against the wall in the living room.

worse still, the back door (the creaky moldy bastard leading into our garden) doesnt even have a lower hinge. to open/close it u have to lift it up off the ground and carefully rotate it into the open/closed position so that it doesnt break free like the cupboard door did.

if the landlord doesnt come over and sort this mess out the ceiling’s gonna fall down ‘top my head i can tell.
