That is NOT fun. Especially when you're crazy and instead of thinking it was some idiot drunk person, you start panicking that maybe your building is on fire and start looking for the fire trucks.

I've been on an old school Britney kick lately, so one of her songs was the first thing I thought of when I read your title. I guess that's pretty sad, huh? ;) Hmmm… I've been on an old school Britney kick lately, so one of her songs was the first thing I thought of when I read your title.

I used to live in a hamlet of 10 houses, and no-one came by ever, because we lived at the end of a really long and bumpy road. Now we've moved to a little village, where there are actually signs of life. The first time we got carol-singers I pointed to their approaching forms and fearfully asked my dad 'What the hell are *they*?' Luckily I still live in the back of beyond so we only tend to get seasonal door-to-door callers :P I feel your pain Amber.

Usually I have no problem keeping up with the expressions you use. You know, because I'm all wordly and what-not. For example, we used to just call the refuse receptacles trashcans, but now my husband and I both have taken to calling them "wheelie bins". But now, I am forced to ask - what exactly is mono-blocking and what is a tablet? (I can't think of anything for tablet other than a pill or some sort of book.) Okay.
