"Probably, but I have several questions."

  • Were you always a doorknob, or is this some kind of witch's curse situation?
  • If you were always a doorknob, how did we meet and what was our first date like?
  • If this is some curse, what did you do that warranted polymorphism, and how do we change you back. (Would you even want to go back?)
  • Could I be cursed to be the door that you're installed in?
  • How would intimacy work between us? I'm simply not creative enough to incorporate a doorknob into this
  • Being presumably immortal as a doorknob, or at the very least having a much longer lifespan than us mortals, how would you move on after old age claims me?

You forgot the most important question of all: in this scenario, am I also a doorknob? It turns out that solves a lot of the other issues...

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Are we on the same door or houses across the street?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 2 weeks ago

We are destined to forever see one another yet never to touch again... wow, shit got dark quick!

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

Ah, I can answer #5:

drops my pants and backs up to the doorknob this is for you, babe... all that knot training is going to finally pay off

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Could I be cursed to be the door that you're installed in?

That sounds kinky as fuck.

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You’d have to watch everyone as they take her for a turn

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Mmm I'm listening

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Adding to that last one;

Are you an antique door knob or cheap one that will fail in 10 years?

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

You could always incorporate the door knob anally.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

Not creative enough to incorporate a doorknob into dat ass?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 61 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I'd love you better as a doorknob...

turns out to be the wrong answer, and I can't find the undo button 😞

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you tried jiggling her a little? Or maybe lift while turning?

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Try some WD-jelly

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

What, then everyone can touch you! I'm okay with that, if it's what you want. Wait, why are you mad? What did I say? How am I in trouble for trying to make you happy? You asked the question, I'm just being supportive...

I can stick a doorknob in my ass.

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

This unironically my favorite paparazzi photo of all time. It’s entirely relatable on so many levels and I feel like I’m in his shoes.

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

You made my day.

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

It’s so funny. I’m wondering if Affleck knows about it’s popularity

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ah ok so it's not from a movie. I was wondering that.

[–] LuigiMaoFrance@lemmy.ml 23 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 weeks ago

Is there a keyhole?

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

‘What makes you think I loved you to begin with?’

[–] MrOtingocni@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

That's not the face I'd make.

It would be a face of mild amusement and care as I pulled her into my arms to tell her:

"Yes, baby, I'd love you even if you were a doorknob. You'd be the most beautiful doorknob in the world to me. I'd even have to hire a butler to open all the doors in front of me because you would be the only doorknob I'd ever want to hold in my hand."

Because at the end of the day, coming home to reassure the person you love is a simple and gracious act and is worth every hour of any 14 hour shift.

[–] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

You would also polish the door knob every day...

Nah, sappy yes, but I only laid it on thick in response to the OP who been spamming misogynistic boomer jokes.

Bro oughta take that shit somewhere else.

[–] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's cool, the doorknob can still peg you if you're motivated.

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

If it's one of those handle type door knobs you're in for a wild ride 💦💦💦.

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago

No. What kind of sick fuck loves a doorknob?

Mad at me for a week. Tells every friend and family member that I don’t love her unconditionally for the rest of our lives. Brings it up at my funeral…

[–] mushroomman_toad@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

When has this ever happened to anyone?

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Coming home after a long day only to deal with your partner's emotional insecurities that have built up over the day and morphed in sometimes weird forms? Enough times.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 6 points 2 weeks ago

It's a daily thing for me, but I knew about her anxiety when I married her.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 points 1 week ago

Depending on your interpretation it literally happened to me. Long Covid has me tied to my bed 24/7. I have even less to contribute to my family than a door knob. But my wife still loves me.

[–] AlfalFaFail@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

"Ha ha ha... That's a really interesting question because you, as things currently stand, are definitely not a doorknob?"

[–] kepix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

my gf asked what would happen if she woulbecome sone dune worm monster instead. im like "the physical attraction would probably go away, but i would keep in touch cause that would be so rad". she looked at me, and kinda wanted to laugh and be mad at me, but instead she let it go 😅

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

Haha women am I right?

I’ve got one, “When you’re back home after a 24 hour nursing shift and your bf hits you”

[–] hash@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Throwback to a totally unqualified health class sub telling a bunch of preteens:

"You know why they call some girls dooknobs? Cause everybody gets a turn."

[–] HenriVolney@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well that's really fucked up

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

lay off the salvia girl

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago

"If you were a doorknob, I'd start drinking heavily... so that way we can get turnt together."

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 weeks ago

This question is less hypothetical than you think.

[–] DudleyMason@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

That's why you don't date nurses...

/S

[–] Kenny2999@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, at least I could unscrew a doorknob

[–] ApeNo1@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

“So what you are saying is any Tom,Dick, or Harry that comes to the door gets a turn?”
