I’m an open door

I’m an open door.” This is a mashup of “I’m an open book” (a person easily understood) and “open door policy” (a decision by someone in authority to make themselves available at all times). This appears to be the sister malaphor to one I posted a few years ago, “I have an open ear policy”. https://malaphors.com/2016/05/23/i-have-an-open-ear-policy/
Kudos to Andy Jacobs for hearing this one and sending it in!
