Memo to self: When the revolution comes, outlaw intercoms. Or at least require passing exam to obtain permission to use one.

What, exactly, would this exam contain?

Basic proof that one is able to utilise an intercom without pissing off the person at the other end. Which, in this case, would be moi.

Things that will get one a failing grade:

Buzzing the intercom for longer than half a second at a time; buzzing repeatedly with barely half a second in between the buzzes; any combination of the two. -- Keep your trousers on already. I have to get up, walk around my desk, and to the intercom, and then answer it. This takes at least a second and a half. Patience, grasshopper-san.

Buzzing the intercom, then answering the greeting "Hello?" with "Could you open the door, please?" -- I could, but I'll need your name, first.

Refusing to state one's name or at least the purpose of one's visit, despite numerous promtings to do so; simply repeating "Open the door, please," over and over again, in response to "May I have your name, please?" -- I can't just open the door to anyone, dammit; we've had enough theft and break-ins!

Ahem. *climbs off soap box*

But that would mean they'd have to have common sense. And we both know that ain't happening.

Sadly, I must agree.
