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.

At first I think you were jokingly referring to them as demons. Now I realize you’re actually serious…

Well, daemons, but still...
