The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”

Along these lines, I recently learned:
Painstakingly is pains + takingly (as in “took great pains”), not pain + stakingly.
Helicopter is helico + pter (“spiral wing”), not heli + copter.
In linguistics, this phenomenon is called rebracketing.
It’s a mock search engine results page.
Click on the link with the text “then it shows me something” to continue.
I suspect it’s just an autocorrect typo for “beginning to work”.
