I moved into a flat (I hope that's an
international enough word (?)) because I thought
they were listening to cool ambient music. I was
like "hey, cool, at least they'll deal with my
music", and after moving in discovered it was
actually their fridge.
No great loss, really. It was still a cool
sounding fridge. :)
