i used to work on the 44th floor and people would apparently get hired and then be like "wait no i won't work there." we had two floors so i guess they interviewed on 45 or smth

four is very similar to their word for death iirc so i guess yeah it would’ve been weird living or working on the deathty-death floor

our building has floors 12 and "12A", and each floor has flats 41 and 41A. we live at floor 12 41A and we have gotten an awful lot of newborn baby stuff delivered for my upstairs neighbor apparently named Jill who lives at 12A 41. which i ofc bring up to them i don't need a crib or whatever. this weekend I got a visit from a very kind british lady who introduced herself when i opened the door as "hi im julia the midwife" and i was like man if i am pregnant we have ourselves a biological conundrum.

fart simpson posted:pretty sure finland isnt in north america literally the point of the statement “define we” besides suggesting that they don’t have superstitions like those crazy chinese is just racism besides otis, the biggest elevator company, says that some 85% of their installed elevators worldwide lack a floor 13

when i lived in a suburb as a kid there was a new road behind a school that was slightly problematic for the inhabitants in that it didn't have a name, for like more than a year. e: and this was in the 80s so everything important was sent by post
