All i know is that they all drink protein shakes.

I creep to the front door and peer through the spy hole with the light off in the hall way. No one comes round unannounced that I actually want to talk to. Send me an email, it’s easier to ignore.

boke

Haha…

i have my flat intercom switched off almost always now. no one buzzes it except people looking for a different flat

“oh hi mate i was looking for 3/2 but they’re not answering”
“well fuck off then.”

Almost a daily occurrence around half 8:

~knock knock knock knock doorbell doorbell knock knock knock~
Postie
Stagger bleary-eyed to window
Look out bedroom window, point at trunk by porch
Postie puts parcel in trunk and gives me a thumbs up.

JUST PUT IT IN THERE ANYWAY FFS

Half 8? I’m calling bullshit on this.

I haven’t had any post delivered before 11am in over a decade.

Nah bro, we’re great here. I think we’re the furthest point on the postie (Derek)'s route so he drives out here then works his way back towards the depot. Always before 9!

Well fancy that! Where do you live?

Outskirts of Winchester

Very nice. Fair play to both you and Derek :+1:

a porch trunk is it

Thanks Lawnie!

I’m flat 10, but to buzz flat 1 on our intercom you have to dial “01”. Obviously nobody does that, so they dial “1” and realise that it doesn’t buzz anyone, so they put in a zero which buzzes me. Absolute pricks.

We’ve put a note up next to the intercom explaining this, which doesn’t seem to have helped at all.

Nah boiiii, it’s outside the house, next to the porch. Full of spiders, the garden waste bag, old bottles, etc.

do you mean a bin

Have you tried putting “POLITE REQUEST!!!” on the note?

FFS I’m not taking a photo. It’s a big trunk, you could fit a person in it. Particularly a 13 year old person. Named Max. Who is scared of spiders.

Excellent. Though reading that it looks like they don’t actually pull the trigger in Leon and in BBII it’s a bullet hole not a spy hole… I haven’t seen any of the other examples.

I don’t do the notes. No idea who does, come to think of it.
