The Doorknob Condition ensures privacy

You know how most people put a tie around their knob or a "Do Not Disturb" sign to ensure privacy?

Although I still prefer my method of keeping people out: building the door out of a giant angry bear.

Check out more shots of this thing in action after the jump.
