The Trick Using Aluminum Foil on Door Handles
The Strange Request
My neighbors, Mark and Linda, were leaving for a two-week vacation. Just before they boarded their flight, I received a voicemail.
“Hey, could you do us a favor? We forgot to wrap our front door handle in aluminum foil. Would you mind doing it for us? Thanks!”
That was it. No explanation.
I laughed at first, thinking it was some kind of joke. But they sounded serious. Since they had always been good neighbors, I walked over and wrapped the outside door handle in aluminum foil exactly as they asked.
As I headed back home, I couldn’t stop wondering.
Why would anyone cover a door handle with aluminum foil?
The question stayed in my mind all evening.
