I've asked people why one door is locked, nobody knows why. It would seem in a situation where a fire is occurring, this would be incredibly dangerous.
For example, my apt buildings lobby has three different exits. Front, side, and rear. The rear is mainly used for large deliveries. Anyways, the rear entrance is always locked, the side entrance is locked at night from 9-6am and throughout the entire weekend. And the front entrance, only one door is left open. I know it's unlikely, but if a fire were to occur at the front, I'm not sure how I would escape. I suppose I could hop the wall in the rear of the building. |
If your apt building burns with the doors locked and you become a pile of ashes, it won't be a total loss. The government will put together a committee to go around and check apt exit doors to ensure this never happens again. It will be something like an Emergency Tower Safety Check Committee. |

Almost, if he died in a fire, they would put together a committee who would indeed go around and cite all the problems and give advice on how to make te building safer.....Which all would ignore! |

| I believe they secretly love to bump each other. They enjoy the human skinship. |

But you see this instinct with all kinds of modern appliances- including doors. They keep them wrapped in plastic, avoid using them so that they can one day sell them as good as new. |
Seconded. They'd buy a roomba but never use it for this or that reason. They'd buy a dishwasher but use it as dish storage because the power bill goes up if you do. On and on and on.....
How about they NOT buy crap they'll never use?  |

| Most new apartments come with a full oven under the gas range, but no-one has a clue what to do with them, so they just lbecome kitchen ornaments. |
