hey have i ever told yāall about my cursed apartment building
cursed how, you say???? well, hereās the thing: no-one can fuckin see it. let me explain further
i live in a tiny flat in a big red brick building with huge windows. it has a driveway with two columns on either side - not a thing you usually see in this area. it is opposite a bus stop and several corner shops. it is on a main, busy road. most significantly, it is attached to a church. a well-known church with a big pink sign on the front.
all things that would make it easy to spot, right???? like if i gave that list of distinguishing features to someone along with my address then theyād be able to find my flat easily, right??? well APPARENTLY NOT
we have never once had a delivery to our flat (outside of the usual postal service) where we havenāt been called by a lost courierĀ
usually, they are about thirty seconds away.Ā āiām by the church and i donāt know where to go from here,ā they say. so we tell them,Ā āitās the building right next to the church!! the one youāre outside. that church. itās the next building along. itās opposite a bus stop and it has a driveway with two big columns.āĀ
without fail, they call back 5-10 minutes later, still lost.
i have answered calls from both lost delivery people and friends where iāve been able to see them standing in front of the driveway, from my window
a friend of mine once drove past my building three times, while on the phone to me, getting increasingly panicked that she couldnāt figure out where she was going. she parked in a nearby road and i had to walk to her car and guide her to the driveway
however, my flatmate and i found this place when we were flat-hunting first time, no trouble, and we donāt know what that means other than i guess this place chose us and the rent is so cheap because the estate agents were so relieved to find the first people in a thousand years who could actually see this fuckin building
today a food delivery person called me to say he was outside the church, was told to go to the next building along, (a 20 second journey on foot) and arrived at my door 20 minutes later, saying,Ā āsorry, i went to the back of this building by mistake. weird right???ā
this building doesnāt have a back
it backs onto the rest of the church it doesnāt have a back where did he go
