This shows you just how strong our culture is an influence here. You can leave a door open and cause enough trouble that they need to hire someone else to go manually shut it. I’m willing to bet there are a lot of seemingly innocuous ways to cause friction with these companies. The more people know and exploit them, the better.

Supposedly putting a cheapo luggage lock on a door latch requires a coordinated effort involving a locksmith or a tow truck
