Possessed

I think my garage door is possessed. Last night, after parking my car, I was walking into the house when the garage door started closing on it's own. It got about 1/3 of the way down, then reversed direction and headed back up again. When I hit the button to close it, the door didn't budge, but the light blinked on and off a couple of times...if that happens again tonight, I'll have to pay special attention - maybe it's morse code!?!

Anyway, the door did start opening and closing on it's own again this morning. Only instead of doing it just once, it did it three or four times spaced at irregular intervals. Ordinarily, I would think this kind of thing was kinda funny in a spooky kinda way, but the last time the door started to close, I was standing beneath it with the hatchback of my car opened. I was able to slam the hatch shut and get out of the way, but now I'm all worried about having the door come down on Barney (my car) the next time I need to back out (I'm on my bike today).

Obviously this problem is getting put at the top of Stepan's "Honey Do" list.

This sounds like an episode of the X-Files...too bad it was canceled. You could have written the screen play for it.

And why does it go on Stepan's "Honey Do"--why not on your own list? Be empowered! :-)

I am empowered...I'm empowered to ask my sweetie to fix it for me :-)

Definitely sounds like you need a garage door doctor. Sure would hate to have it come down on your pretty PT Cruiser!
