not enough >( IN THE WORLD

HEY GUYS HEY GUYS, POP QUIZ.

If you are in an unfamiliar building, looking for your friend's apartment, do you:

A) Call your friend if you weren't smart enough to write the apartment number down beforehand
B) Knock on the door you think might be right, and ask if the people know the right one if you're wrong
--> C) Barge in and scare the shit out of the awake roommate and don't bother to apologize before leaving

This is the day before her birthday, guys. I know some of you are also friends of hers -- me, I'm skeeved out and angry, but I'm not as scared as I probably would've been if I'd been awake at the time -- so. IF YOU CAN, do something nice for her, she needs it. :\

--for the record, that's MY roommate whose post I linked. WE HAD A STRANGE GUY WALK RANDOMLY INTO APARTMENT LAST NIGHT WHILE I WAS ASLEEP LOLOLOLOLOLOTL

Also, keeping the door locked all the time is a must now. And maybe taking some self-defense courses, if you're still feeling jittery.

I'm mostly angry more than jittery, but yeah. I'm glad I checked my LJ before work, so I locked the door when I was heading out.

How is your building set up to let in people? Can anyone come in, or do guests (people without keys to get into the building) have to be buzzed in by the people they're visiting?

[nekokoban]

Yeah, there's a buzz-in system, and that's only for the front doors. Thing is, over the callbox is a directory, but all it mentions is room number -- call number; theoretically, you have to be able to call the right apartment before you can be buzzed in, because hell if most people I know would buzz strangers into the building.

Creepy.

In my building the person visiting has to buzz the room (or call the person), and the person in the apartment has to physically go down to the front door to let them in. It's a pretty good system and keeps the creepy people out of the building. Though occasionally I've had drunk people mistakingly buzz my apartment (and those things are LOUD).

Well, sometimes our friends come in via the back (since that's where parking is), and if that happens -- it's usually Cora -- Jessi will physically go down to let her in. I admit, I like being able to buzz 'em in from my apartment, but man, can I see the downsides now. >____>
