11 Things People Who Live in Apartment Blocks Will Understand.

1. You somehow get used to the constant slamming of doors

Yep, even the door for the stairwell that's only a couple of meters from your bed

2. Someone, somewhere will smoke weed all day, and the smell will creep into your apartment somehow

You may even be lucky enough to live above that person, in which case, get used to it

3. The lift will break, and fellow residents will be angry, some will even write sarcastic signs

But no one will be angry enough to call building management to see when it will be fixed

4. The horror when you let someone into the building, only to realise they don't live there

*STRANGER DANGER!!!*

5. You'll convince yourself that you'll make friends with your neighbours

....but you won't, which leads to...

6. Awkward eye contact every time you see someone else in the hall

"Don't look, don't look"

7. The unadulterated joy of using a key fob to get into your building

This plastic thing is a key?!? It gives me access to this whole building?!?! (kind of)

8. You will be alerted that your upstairs neighbours are home at 3 in the morning

And you will grow to hate heels and wooden floors

9. The havoc that is caused by the weekly junk mail delivery

Strangely none of the tenants in this gas free building are interested in gas boiler insurance, that's why our entrance hall is now carpeted with your leaflets, thank you

10. The panic caused by having to take out the bins

The smell of a room containing a weeks worth of rubbish for all 27 flats in this building is enough to make anyone believe that maybe someone has dumped a dead body in there

11. You wouldn't change any of it because your apartment is great Photo effects from glitterboo.com
Well, most of the time anyway
