attract moisture.  one lock is seized, the return spring in the other doesn't
work, and i have to tighten the sliding door handle every time I fill up.
whenever it gets below 5 degrees i have to lay every one of my 100 kilos or
so to get the doors to shut.

 thank you for letting me indulge you with my pet peeve. >>

Move to California. We're shaking things up over here.
