That’s a good point:

I remember living in Monkstown in Dublin years ago in an Apartment complex called Packenham.

Apart from the fact that it had hardly any windows [what’s the deal with that by the way? Don’t architects like big windows anymore or is the developer trying to save money?] it was the same as everybody else’s.

One of the weirdest things was when we got notice to quit we checked out other apartments there. They were nearly all the same. Aggghhh! It made me feel like I was living everybody else’s life too to an extent. It was as if many of the things I did each day were shaped in the same way as my neighbours.

The most completely bizarre thing though was that one of the apartments was at the other gable end of the block from us and was actually a complete mirror image of ours. In reverse. It was like stepping into an alternate universe! I couldn’t handle that at all!

Creepy
