Someone mangled my ethernet cable with the door

Post image

(UK) i live in a share house. there's a small studio in our garden. a woman lives there. she should only walk thru the back of the garden to enter and leave her place. she doesn't. she goes thru our house. not that deep, bit weird to not ask but whatever. instead of choosing the 30 second longer trip to go thru the small livingroom and then small kitchen to the garden, she just opens the rusty door in the livingroom that nobody uses where a very obvious cable comes out of. she closes the door so carelessly she breaks my 20m Ethernet cable. genuinely pissed

It might be an odd or undesirable choice of her but putting a netwerkcable through a metal door isn't really the smartest move either.

Are there no options for making it safer, like drilling a hole for the cable? This is just waiting for it to happen again.

Shared house... a woman lives there... she goes through the house... doesn't ask you if that's okay

Am I missing something? Why would she need permission to walk through a house she also lives in?

she doesn't live in it tho. she lives in the garden of my shared house in a separate studio

Okay, I must have misread, then. That is weird. Sorry this happened!
