When I returned to my room today, I was in a hurry to reach the bathroom. But I couldn’t get the lights on and remembered that I had to put the key in the holder to turn the lights on. So I ran quickly to get it, shoved it in, and leaped into the … door frame.

I was once again caught by the short bathroom door frame as my teeth shuttered against each other and I cursed out loud. I sat there, thinking, “I just want to go home to where the door frames are a normal size (and I don’t have to put the key in a holder to turn on the lights).”

Ever since we noticed the trend of short bathroom doors, we have been asking our hosts to try to figure out why this is the case. Roger hypothesized a good theory that it was to designate to guests which door leads to the bathroom. He suggested this to a host, who completely denied it. There is no reason for the short door, and so I have hit my head on them many times (though none as hard as today).
