King Among Men
I just went outside to take out the garbage (I don't go outside for many reasons) and a confused looking guy near a delivery van came over to me.
He asked me if my block of units was unit 1.
Unsure how to answer that question, I said "this is number 4..."
He looked even more confused and said "well, the address they gave me was unit 1, 40-42".
That made more sense.
"Oh, well yeah, this is number 4. Just keep heading down the road to number 40, and look for unit 1 there."
But this didn't help him.
"This is unit 4?"
"No, this is number 4."
And then it hit me. This guy had no concept of apartment blocks.
What kind of delivery guy has no concept of apartment blocks?
What suburb does he live in?
I'm still buzzing from the encounter.
