In a building like a hospital or school, you may have noticed a strange thing; a door that is right next to another door. Why would someone do this, you may, but probobly shouldn't ask. (If you already know why double doors exist, feel free to skip this condescending part) Sometimes more than one person needs to go through a door at once, but a doorway isn't a very wide thing. As such, a super genius developed another kind of door: the door that is actually two doors, the amazing double door. With two doors, even more people can get through at a faster pace.

They can, but they usually don't because they're stupid, inbred crack babies that couldn't point out their own country on a globe. For some reason, where I live, when people see a perfectly functional double door, the majority will open only one door that everyone will wait to go through until someone who's been visited by that magical ghost common sense comes along and opens the other one. It's amazing how long this can take, it's like most people are some kind of molemen that can only see text messages and what others are wearing.

Riddle me this; what's a door that never opens?

Time's up, did you guess? That's right, it's a wall!

I once heard someone yelling at one of the molepeople to open the second door, the mole gave it a light push, which didn't open it, and said "it's too hard!" I hadn't thought the simple act of shoving something was difficult, but humanity's collective value seems to drop every day.

BOTTOM LINE: Double doors. DOUBLE. DOORS.

That's this week's Rant, I'm Jester, Goodnight.
