I'm thinking this guy wasn't really concerned with being sneaky.

Can I get some WhiteHouseTour~ma?
I have some bad news for you, Omnis. I'm trying to get a tour for late march, and my congressperson's office told me not bloody likely. In fact, tours through January have been cancelled, and she anticipated that they would be in February as well.

I'm still hearing echoes of a neighbor who told everyone she saw that I was "the Biggest Pregnant Person EVAR".

Barb, I've had two fibroid surgeries, one in patient, one out patient. I did a decent amount of research then (about 5 years ago), so I'm happy to talk with you about what I learned, if you like.

People kill me. My office is next to a large conference room. There is a door that leads directly to the conference room from my office. As a result of said door, I always get a lot of noise from events in the conference room. It's a minor inconvenience.
Today, someone actually asked me if I would mind if a group of people used the door in my office to enter the conference room, apparently because it would be less obtrusive than the front door. Really? Did you not notice the shit I have piled in front of said door because I DON'T USE THE DAMNED DOOR. Is this insensitive of me.

less obtrusive than the front door
For them, maybe. Apparently they don't consider people walking randomly through someone's office obtrusive. Have you thought about moving a large piece of furniture there?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Did you not notice the shit I have piled in front of said door because I DON'T USE THE DAMNED DOOR.
"Hey, would you mind moving all that stuff so we can enter the conference room unobtrusively?"
"Oh, see...that door doesn't go to the conference room."
"Yes, it does..."
"No, I know it *looks* like it does, but it really goes to...Hell."
"Hell?"
"It's a portal straight to Hell. At least I think it's Hell...might just be a hell-like parallel dimension. Anyway, no, the door does *not* go to the conference room. That's why I keep all that stuff piled in front of it; because once...
...somebody knocked."

Very few people have made the connection, and no one has had the nerve to ask before.

And I was also afraid that once people think they can come through, they'll be popping in, saying "oh, would you mind, I don't want to walk through the room to get to my seat"

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And I was also afraid that once people think they can come through, they'll be popping in, saying "oh, would you mind, I don't want to walk through the room to get to my seat"
Oh, they will totally do this. Don't give a fucking inch.
I may have a lower-than-usual opinion of people today, but I know the above statement to be true.
