“When one door closes, another opens” is an old saying about an opportunity lost and one gained. A joke about ending a bad experience was posted on Twitter by CherrySlushie on December 13, 2011:
“When one door closes, sometimes you want to get a hammer and nails to make sure that bitch stays shut.”
This jocular version has been printed on many images.
