During winter, when collecting snow, you won't run out the shelter without closing the door behind you...
Problem: you click the pile of snow and there is no chance to stop and close the door before accessing the pile.
Same for any talks, especially while it's cold outside.
You have to step outside, than shut the door, and after you've done all this you can finally talk to whoever is watching your spinning around.
But all of this may be intended... just remember you're sitting in a warm home, dragging your mouse while your survivors are freezing to death with all those holes and open doors won't help keeping it warm inside.
