I know have the story of the ultimate idiocy from the state and from bureaucracy.

Upon arriving at my school earlier this week, I noticed that the door had a couple of floor mats in front to of it to keep the door open, however it wasn't working to well.  I really didn't think to much of it (famous last words as far as I'm concerned). Then I overheard something that just bugged me, and still does. The school was told to remove the door stops from its doors because they were.... get this.... a fire hazard! These weren't the wedges you stick in front of a door, these are the swivel down kind that are attached to the door. I have no idea why they (whoever they are, I'm guessing the fire department) made this decision. If anything these door stops should be a requirement, they keep the door open which in the event of fire keep the door out of the way of people trying to exit the building, I would say the door is a bigger fire hazard than a door stop.
