Realistically Speaking

You know you're in an apartment when....

* You are privileged to hear every word of your honored neighbor's disagreeable domestic dispute at 1:00 a.m.

* You compete with your neighbors for the best parking spaces.

* You know which room your neighbor upstairs is currently in.

* You get lost in your "driveway." (Maybe this only applies to me?)

* You can shoot a rubber band from one end of your home to the other.

* You are afraid to move lest you scratch, dent, or otherwise damage the cheap materials your home is built from--leaving you nothing to do but pay for them.

* Your street address, complete with apartment number, is so long that one can hardly put it on one line of an envelope (but if your friends don't put it all, you might not get your mail).
