Flat Sharing 102: House Keys


Hi guys! Its flat sharing experience again!

This experience happened in the early days of my flat sharing.

I simplified a collection of situations in which the house keys are involved in this comics strip (I am lazy to draw hhaha)

Basically they would forget to bring keys when they come back home, and would rather shout my name REALLY LOUDLY so that I come down to open the door for them.

I guess the entire village know there is an Alex Yap in 250 Tai Poi Tsai Village now.

What went through my mind :" hey, the cell phone is invented for some kinda purpose"

The other experience is that they would give me a call and say:" Alex, I need to get back home, forget my keys, can you pass me the key..like now?" ....
And normally this happens when I was in a hurry on my way to somewhere. I can always say no, but I am very soft-hearted, I cant imagine my housemate cant go back home and have to stay out until someone comes back.

Unfortunately, they forget keys almost every other day in the early days.
And the worse part is, after borrowing your keys, they would normally forget to give it back to you. And you become the one who cant get in. So you call them, but they normally wont response to you (either sleeping, doing some sports, dint pay attention to phone, or drunk...)

No...they are not really drunk all the time...they are drunk sometimes.

But it really make no difference if they didn't answer their call. Right?

Peace!

[p.s. Luckily it didnt happen as often now =) ]
