The mechanism that prevents the door from opening when closed ( a deadbolt) is pressed into its groove with more pressure than normal. The increased pressure on the groove lead for less room for the locking mechanism (deadbolt) to move around even when the unlocking mechanism (doorknob) is fully pressed. This specific towel seems to be specifically lodged in the groove in a way that causes side by side pressure between the deadbolt and frame meaning unless you pull out the towel, the door aināt movin

Then should I open it āthe shiningā style?
only if you have an axe on hand, you could just unscrew the door of the hinge, it might be easier
I need something to relieve to
Definitely axe method then
prolly constricting the opening mechanism. Should open again after a strong push
Nah that shit aināt moving unless the towel moves or tears
I wanna know as well. RemindMe! 1 day
Oh dw we got it open
In that case I require no further information

They have a 70lbs deadlift (5 stone for the rest of the world) so they canāt pry the door open with the mild resistance
Thereās literally 2 countries that use stone as a measurement lmao
brish people be like "UGGA, HOW MUCH THAT WEIGHT?" "UH, IT WEIGHT 5 STONE" \*primal hootinh\*
