D'ja think?

To an ordinary human being, opening a sliding shower door is easy. A simple swish and swash and, lo, it opens - or closes. 

However, if you are a teenager you must make it difficult just to add drama to your life. 

How to open a shower door by a teenager:

  1. Reach up and hold the door by the top thereby placing excess pressure on the top part of the door. 
  2. Slide backwards with a vengeance.
  3. If you are lucky, you'll get all the sliding doors to lock together at a 45° angle.
  4. Shout: OMG does nothing work in this house?
  5. Manage to squeeze into the cubicle.
  6. Turn around, put your hand in the middle of the door and try to yank it back closed, but succeed only in jamming the panels even tighter.
  7. Shout: OMG does nothing work in this house?
  8. Repeat action unsuccessfully.
  9. At no point try and straighten the doors.
  10. Get out of shower onto now-sodden bathmat.
  11. Exit. 


Next morning repeat process once a more intelligent life form has, with minimal effort, returned the three panels to their rightful order.
