"I'm Claustrophobic!"
Another dark Russian humor Drabble
A man answers the doorbell in his high-rise building apartment and sees his beautiful neighbor, clearly distressed.
"I locked myself out!" she says, "I was taking the trash out and forgot to take the keys. My dog and cat are inside. They must be freaking out!"
"How can I help?"
"I'm pretty sure my balcony is unlocked..."
"Ah, OK, then go through my apartment and climb over the balcony to yours."
"I can't do that, I'm claustrophobic!"
"Claustrophobia is a fear of confined places. Where exactly are confined places on the balcony?"
"In the coffin! The coffin is extremely confined!"

Hi there! I have come to you from Vocal + Assist! A great read. Subscribed and hearted. Obvious lesson. Don’t forget your keys when living in ‘high rise.’ And don’t pick the creepy guy next door! But I suppose I see a wider contextuu of my own gratitude. I only live in a a complex 63 units - a 3 stories high apartment complex and I am close friend of many. And one has my spare key! Pauline 🌸
Yeah, she would have to call the fire department before I would help, lol. I'm not necessarily afraid of heights but they can make you dizzy. Fun story, Lana!
Ah! The noise I made when I got it! I like these funny little stories. Nicely done 😁.
Ohhhh, because she might fall down and die! Hahahahahahahhaaha! Loved your story!
Haha, that was a clever little twist at the end! Love this! 💌
Funny, Lana! And I think Andrea's right but I'm thinking "confined"? It's good to see you doing these Drabbles.
Love it!! Just change the word confided to constricted. (Or did I misunderstand?) ❤️🥰🥰🥰
Wonderful! My mind wasn't operating at 100, so it took me a second to get it, but it is perfect!
haha love these mini Lana treats and like Cindy, I think the logic checks out!
My kind of logical thinking.
