Things I’ll miss
Friday, May 9th, 2008 | Thoughts
With us planning to move into a professional let next year, I think I’ll miss the querks of a student house. After all next year we will have…
- Front doors that stays open when you open it so you can carry things in
- Streets that aren’t lined top to bottom with cars 90% of the time
- Streets you don’t need a four wheel drive to safely navigate over the potholes
- Hallways you don’t have to swim through due to the amount of leaflets put through the door
- Door handles that you can twist without having to push it back together first
- Bathrooms that don’t randomly have woodlice appear in
- Kitchens that don’t randomly have slugs appear in
- Kitchen taps that release water when you turn them on rather than within about 5 minutes of turning them on
- Kitchen floors that you stop sticking to once you’ve cleaned them
- Washing machines that don’t randomly stop working and randomly start working again later
- Ovens that light when you turn them on
- Microwaves that turn on when you try to put them on for less than 2 minutes
- Irons that allow to entire your entire item of clothing rather than the bit within a foot of the plug socket
- Telephone lines that were installed within the past 200 years and so can actually carry a signal
- Surfaces that you can clean the dust off and come back to an hour later without discovering they are once again covered in dust
Then again, maybe not.
