I was awoken at 6.50am this morning by massive buzzing from my entryphone, then banging on the door.
Immediately fearing the worst, I hid, thinking it was bailiffs (although, what for, I have no idea)... The banging on the door started. !!!!, I thought, they'd got in by buzzing someone else. I'm starting to panic majorly. I wondered why next door hadn't been woken up.
The banging stopped and the buzzing started again, I crept to my flatmate's window (which was open) in order to hear what was being said....
Turns out it WAS next door, they thought my flat was on fire as I left candles burning last night
:o:o:o
I have great neighbours! :beer: But, the main lesson from this is not to ignore your problems and confront them! Otherwise things could escalate!
Have a smile at my stupidity
