Our first apartment was across the street from the doughnut shop. It had
several interesting characteristics:
- Our second apartment had the ground-fault "interrupter" miswired so that it would fire whenever you turned anything on, but ... it didn't stop the flow of electricity either.
- That same apartment's front door latch didn't go all the way into the striker, so you could bump the door open easily.
- AND the hot and cold were backwards on the water heater, so the hot came out the bottom and the cold came in the top. You pretty much had to take a shower with one hand on the handle, adjusting the temperature as the water mixed.
- AND the kitchen cabinets fell off the wall while I was making clam fritters. We never HAVE had clam fritters. I shudder to think what would happen if we did.
- AND there were gaps in the walls between apartments so you could clearly hear what people in the next apartment over were saying. The couple next to us, well, one wanted to marry and the other not. That was their favorite fight.
