Another Earthquake! + The Difference 5

Another earthquake in Milan today! I was just hanging out in my office, trying to work...

Outside my building, when kids drop stuff people put it on the garden walls or bollards in the parking lot. This really cute froggy turned up a few days ago. She's on top of another lost thing, a red hat. I thought to myself that if no kid took her in a few days I would, since it was so sad that she was there, but luckily the owner noticed!

So, changing topics: doorknobs. They are weird. My building is technically condos, so I think people maintain their own units. The doors are on the whole very similar, but there are a few different kinds of doorknobs, none of them the conventional round kind. Here's pictures of the two most popular ones in my building.

This first triangular one is probably the most common. I kind of get it, the shape makes it easier to get a grip on. And this second one is the kind I have on my door.

Level styles are quite popular too. I really haven't seen a plain round doorknob here in Italy!
