Funny Garage Door Story

At least I think its funny.  Probably funnier if you were there...

So, I'm renting a room from a classmate.  I have a garage door opener that I occasionally have a bit of trouble using - nothing major, I'll just double click it and the door starts up or down and stops and we have to repeat the process.  Sometimes I almost drive thru the garage door thinking it should be open by now...

So last night, I come home at 1:30 AM from a clinical rotation and hit the g-door opener - nothing.  I stop before plowing into the door and hit it again, it rises about 8" and then begins to go back down.  Weird, I'm SURE I didn't double click, so I hit it again, it stops, I hit it again and it begins to rise, just to suddenly stop and begin to go back down.  Now I'm like "what the heck?" this thing is definitely wonky and I'm going to have to call & wake up my friend to let me in.  I try it one more time and it begins (and continues) to open up.  YEA!

Inside I see someone moving - which scares the poop out of me considering its 1:30 in the morning!  And low & behold its my friend looking terrified back at me!  She had just gotten home from her job and couldn't figure out why in the world the garage door kept trying to open so she kept hitting the button to close it!

Fun times!
