Default Screen doors make me scream

Can anybody tell me how long you have to live here before you stop walking into the screen door? I do it everyday and even my missus no longer finds it amusing or endearing. I actually broke her fathers screen door last week - they were all very nice about it but I felt like a bit of a tw*t (or twod as my OH says).
And why do americans seem to think that you are perfectly safe in your bed so long as the screen door is closed. Are these people insane?!?!??
Oh so much to learn ((

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took away my old man...
When I heard that song years ago, I didnt know what a screen door was!

Memoties of a really old sparks song:-

A picket fence, I leaped it
Through your screen door, I gotta meet you...

It's about OPERA!

They are a pain yes, especially getting back in with bag's of shopping, so if you put it on the hold thing then you just end up with a house full of flies My front door is locked as well and the screen door being shut at all times while I'm in the house, best to be on the safe side

"Somewhere a screen door slammed
Somewhere, someplace, somebody's killing a man..."

Was just listening to that at the weekend.....

Could be worse I guess.
