I just got a call on my cell phone from my condo building's front door.

Posted by ty97 Feb 25 '11, 12:39

The women in the unit next door was calling to tell me that my father was locked out on my balcony, and had been stuck out there for hours.

I am in New York. Fortunately, brother was only about 10 minutes away and has a key to my unit to go in and rescue poor dad.

I owe next-door unit a bottle of wine, or chocolates, or something. That was awesome and smart to use the entry callbox to contact me (I've never met this neighbor)

I'm laughing and shouldn't be because it's effing cold in Chicago. Is your dad okay? -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 12:41 4
- He's a tough old bugger, but I'm a little worried. Waiting for the call from home that he's good and doesn't have hypothermia or anything. - ty97 Feb 25, 12:43 3
  - Eff that, I'd owe you a new door. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:46 2
    - Neighbor: "He would like to get a locksmith, but wanted your permission first" - ty97 Feb 25, 12:46
    - this. -- nm - decline Feb 25, 12:46

  - You don't know who locked dad on the balcony. They could have been crazed New Yorkers. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 12:42 10
    - In a shocking sweeps twist, Dad is a born and bred New Yorker - ty97 Feb 25, 12:47 5
      - And he didn't just bust down the door? I don't think he moved out as much as was requested to leave. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 25, 12:50 3
        
        I need to ask what borough. this may explain it. - loosilu Feb 25, 12:56

      - See!? It's always safe to blame the New Yorker. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 12:48
    - So to answer OAE's question: Will and TWuG! -- nm - Max Feb 25, 12:44 2
      - I was pretty wonderful when I lived there... - OAE Feb 25, 12:49
      - New Yorkers drink too much and have shifty eyes. They can't be trusted. -- nm - TWuG Feb 25, 12:47
    - I bet pizza was somehow involved. -- nm - loosilu Feb 25, 12:43
