Nothing is more irksome than trying to open a door, and hoping you don’t smash some poor first-year’s face on the other side of it. This common occurrence happens at one of the stairwells to the second floor of D building. A single, heavy, windowless red door stands guard between the stairs and the hallway. However, the door is always closed, and when opened, swings into the stairs. Seeing as half of my fall courses are on the second floor of D building, I have no choice when it comes to taking the stairs to and from class, and have to hope that I don’t get smacked by the door, or become the smacker. Gingerly opening the door is the most successful technique, but due to the single door, and it being rather skinny, if someone is on the other side, things can get awkward. While the D building door duel may have been prevented, nothing can stop the ensuing Canadian standoff.
