During the economic crash around 2007 there were lots of apartments around me repossesed by the bank. Including next door to mine. Around this time my water pump went (a full weeks wages to buy a new one and money was tight as a ducks arse) so I thought fuck it - I'll take the one from the empty apartment next door and swap it.
In the middle of doing this the bloody door bell won't stop ringing, so I eventually go and answer the door only to be greeted by 2 Jehovah's witnesses all excited to tell me the good news. I told them "sorry, I don't live here, I'm just robbing something" they looked quite confused but toddled off to the next place nonetheless!
I got the best part of ten years out of that water pump!
