I was walking to lecture and normally there are several doors leading to the lecture hall, but for some reason all of them were locked except for one... when I tried to go through the only unlocked door, my wave function just collapsed! I'm scared and I don't know what to do...

Assume the position. (Thank you master may I have another one please).
 
I have this under control. No one interfere.

Can we watch?
 
I don't get this post.
But, then maybe I do.
 
Ah? (message too short gosh - with just ah?)

Are you sure there weren't two doors? Maybe you went through both. Just sayin'...

This is good news! You won't interfere with yourself!
