Anecdote of my new landlord (3 of 3): Talk while repairing deadbolt.

After he put some W-40 on the front door's deadbolt and got it working again, he showed me how to work the door.

"You gotta push in when you lock it," he was like, showing me.  "See?".

Then, he was like, "You could leave it loose, but that way it's easier for someone to kick down the door.  That's not gonna happen in this neighborhood, but hey, if they do, what a surprise they're gonna get, it'll hold and totally kick back at 'em!"

When he said that, too, he seemed almost gleeful, his face just good-natured and radiant.
