We have a section of our flat where there are three doors all within arm's reach of each other. To me they just appeared to be ordinary functional doors. But no. These seemingly inanimate objects soon revealed their sinister personality.
The first instance of any trouble was my first property inspection with some new tenants. One of the doors had a fist sized dent in the main panel about head height. The tenant said the door had rapidly swung shut as he was walking in and he put his hand up to protect himself.
This was a mystery. No one had pushed the door to make is close. It is unlikely the wind caused it. I arranged for the door to be repaired, wished my tenant well and left.
On my next inspection I was horrified to find all three doors had extensive damage. It was obvious what had happened. These doors had formed an unholy alliance and launched a coordinated attack on my unsuspecting tenant. Thankfully he knew how to take care of himself. He beat those doors to within an inch of their lives. I commented how lucky he was the brick walls didn't join in or he could have been seriously injured.
Not wanting to put my tenant at risk I suggested he might want to find somewhere else to live. Eventually he agreed this would be best.
We had an exorcism performed to remove the evil spirits and put in new solid timber doors. I suppose this was risky. If the doors ever joined forces again, being solid core they could cause some real damage. Luckily, so far we have had no further trouble.
