Shot 63: Do Not Disturb

Let me guess. First thing you think of: sign on the handle of a hotel room door. Yeah, me too, but that's not our only option. No one said their had to be a sign involved at all. "Do Not Disturb" implies that there is some kind of dire consequence involved should we decide to. Usually there is. For instance, you wake a sleeping baby, good luck trying to get it back to sleep. You nudge a table with a castle of cards, time to clean up. You open a suspicious looking door in a seedy warehouse and find the mafia behind it, you're probably going to be shot. But not all are threatening. Some may just be a simple request, like asking not to be bothered while reading a book. Though, some readers can be extremist.
