17 Stories That Prove Living in an Apartment Building Is a Sitcom You Never Auditioned For
Living in an apartment building is like being part of a big TV show: neighbors, random encounters, and unexpected events make every day special. There’s room for comedy, drama, and touching moments. As the stories in this article show, you might encounter a squirrel or receive a dubious compliment from a neighbor right next to your door.
I was getting ready for a date, did full makeup. I met my neighbor and said to him, “Hi, Arty!”, and he replied, “Hello, madam.” I said, “What do you mean? We’ve been on first-name terms for a while now.”
To which he replied, “Oh, it’s you! I didn’t recognize you without the bags.” I asked, “What bags?” He said, “Under your eyes and the trash ones.” Not everyone will understand We were buying our first apartment with my husband, the deal went through, and we got the keys. So, my husband went to work, and I headed to the new apartment to assess the scope of cleaning to be done before moving in. I washed all the floors, lay down on the now clean floor, and started dreaming about buying furniture, hanging up a TV, and getting a cat.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door — the neighbor from downstairs. “Finally, you’re home,” she said, “Maybe it’s enough with the noise already, because I can hear you breathing above me from the ceiling.”
That’s when I realized why the seller gave us a discount and left the new wardrobe. But the neighbor didn’t get a chance to ruin our lives; she disappeared somewhere.
