Aw Dana, I'm so sorry.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Story?
It's the side door (facing the street) to the back yard and garden apartment.
You enter with a keypad code not a key.
Matilda and her bestie, Iris, were in the garden apartment and wanted to get snacks.
So they went out to the local corner store in a light rain.
Matilda did not bring her keys.
When they got back they used the code and it unlocked but the door had swollen in the rain and they couldn't get it open. And the rain started coming harder. And she did not bring her keys so she couldn't go through the front door and then back down to the garden apartment.
So they threw their tiny little 5'3" 110 lb bodies at the door (imagine the scene in Princess Bride where Westley is futilely throwing his body at a door to break it down until Fezzik needs to smack it down). Eventually they break the the woodframe around the door. After which it won't lock or close properly and our street facing door has been held close only by a 20 Lb barbell rammed up behind it.
Anyway it's now being replaced.

Aww, that's sad. I hope the replacement is to your liking.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ah, well, needs must. Good story though. "Remember that time...."

New door is up! It looks fine. Tomorrow they finish painting it and put in the keypad lock.

What's the plan for Pittsburgh? It's one of my favorite places.
