Regarding the "Pull to Open" issue, this is what a friend of mine said in an email exchange:
I've done enough couples counseling to recognize that little exchange as a point-maker for the TARDIS. Yes it SAYS pull to open, and it doesn't mean pull the big door to open, but she's going to use it to criticize him anyway.
You'd have to understand how couples fight to get that what's real doesn't matter as much as what you can pin on someone does. Just one tiny bit of nonsense in a long list of why I'm not married.
