There is a spectrum everyone is on, where at one end is emotional distress at cabinets being ajar, and the other end is ignoring a smoke alarm chirping every 43 seconds for six months. Somewhere on that spectrum is, "I don't care for the doors but I don't want to be bothered to remove them."

This is so funny. That same friend of mine came over a few months prior and was like "HOLY SHIT how do you live with that noise its driving me crazy"

I'd been living here for like 5 months at that point and had completely blocked out the noise of a dead fire alarm in my basement.

I think there's a metaphor for putting up with crappy code in there somewhere.
