This is why people moved en masse to suburbs. You go to your car and drive away, rarely even see a neighbor. I've spoken to a neighbor once in the last year and it was because we were both shoveling snow (it was yesterday). We shoveled for an hour in silence but we kept getting closer to the street (she's across the street). At some point we were only about 20 feet from each other and the silence was awkward. At least it was just a 30 second convo.

I grew up in a suburb and that was the only time I HAVE regularly felt like this. I still wince when I think of the loud Greek lady across the street who shouted my name whenever I tried to leave the house. Egads.

I need this explained. Is this a bathroom?

I think it's her front door and her neighbors are talking in the hall outside her apartment. (The keys doesn't really make sense with her wanting to 'go')

In Europe you often have doors that lock with keys from inside as well. And no knob/autolock.

The good part is that there is no "I forgot my keys and locked myself out" because either you couldn't leave without your keys or you left your door unlocked.

The bad part is when you are late to your engagement because you can't just leave the apartment unlocked/you are locked in and your room mate Julia misplaced her keys and borrowed yours to go out for an hour and she's an hour late already. Fuck you, Julia. Also fire safety.

Some houses have a deadbolt that has a lock cylinder on both sides because it’s more resistant to breakins. My house is like this and I need a key to leave unless I want to jump out of a window

Have they not invented fire in your country yet?

My relationship with my neighbors is that we're great friends to the point that we don't even knock coming into each other's apartments, especially considering we regularly take each other's dogs for walks while the others away.

For me, it's my roommate and the never-ending rant about 'stupid' things going on at work.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

That's why I don't leave the house. 😎

Never really got this myself. Maybe it's not a rational thing since who gives a fuck?
