Doorknob 

In a talk therapy session, when a client brings up a serious or lengthy new topic just as they reach for the doorknob to leave. The purpose of this might be to evade delving deeper into the matter, or to prolong the session, or simply to be a drama queen/king.
Therapist - "Alright then Judy, it looks our time is up, see you next week. Same time."

Judy - "Okay Dr. Lucy. By the way, I forgot to mention that last night I shaved my cat and tossed it in the oven. See you in a week!"

Therapist - "Judy, are you trying to doorknob me again?"
