The community I live in is "gated," meaning for the majority of the day you either have to call someone, punch in a code, or use an RF transmitter to open a set of gates to gain access to the community.  While exiting, you just have to get close to the gate, and it starts to open.

Someone must have bumped the antenna for the call box, recently, since you almost have to be on top of it (and quite close to the gate) to trigger it to open when entering.  For some reason, I keep hearing "danger, space doors are closed" in my head whenever I get close to the gates as they start to open:

Maybe I've been watching way too much Star Trek:

space doors

Although, I don't back out of the community, usually:
