David's colleague at a package-processing center was trapped in a small restroom by a faulty lock. When David finally discovered the man, he pried open the door with some difficulty. Even after getting the man out, the lock was still jammed, so they blocked the door open and called a maintenance worker. A bit later, David noticed the door was closed again. He jiggled the doorknob and a voice from inside called, "Get me out!" "Don't worry," David replied, "maintenance should be sending somebody." "They did," said the voice on the other side of the door.
Early one evening a man went to his garage and pulled the lawn furniture out onto the driveway. Shortly after came the lawn mower, some gardening tools, and a bicycle. A curious neighbor asked if he was going to have a garage sale. "No," replied the man, "my son just bought his first car and now he's getting ready for a big date." "So what's with all the stuff?" asked the neighbor. "After years of moving tricycles, toys, and sports equipment out of the way every time I came home from work, I wanted to make sure the driveway was ready for him."
