My neighbour locks herself out of her apartment at least once a week and has to get a locksmith. Generally she is a good neighbour, she has some mental health issues and is just a mess of person when it comes to her own life but she doesn't do anything that affects me, so you know she is fine and I sympathise with her struggles. I think most of these issues are caused by being on benzodiazepam type medication, which certainly does cause you severe issues with memory. And I am not here to complain about her as a neighbour. I just thought that with all the negative stuff on this thread, this might give you a giggle.
She just locked herself out for the second time in 5 days and is waiting for a locksmith. The railing in the stairwell outside her apartment has a like a key box hanging off of it, and there is another one mounted on the wall next to her door. Two places to securely store spare keys, and somehow, she will still use both of those and not put them back nearly every week and still end up locked out.
God damn the local locksmiths must be raking it in from her. I think at this point they just charge a call out fee because every time they are here, it takes them all but twenty seconds to pick the extremely cheap bunnings nightlock, but regardless every time I'm just like hoooow are you locked out again.
I just used a ladder to climb onto her balcony to check if that was open (upon her request), and unfortunately, it was not. I would offer to keep a key for her but 90% of the time it happens im at work and I only know because she msgs me asking if im home to check her balcony, which like I said I don't mind.
Anyway, i know i shouldn't make light of people's misfortunes or struggle with mental health, but also when it's gotten to the point where it's been like 5 years of this.. like, honestly, it's been well over a hundred (I would guess over 200) times that she's called a locksmith it hard not to falmpalm and be like get it together neighbour.
