When my father owned a garage (in the 1940s) we lived upstairs, in a small apartment on the second floor. He worked long hours, but he was expected to be "on call" the rest of the time. I remember my mother's annoyance as customers, wanting to buy gas when we were having supper, would yell upstairs:
Could you just come down for a minute? I need some gas...
(I wonder if this still happens, if your home is right next to your work...)
This sign - that I saw in quiet
St. Andrews By-the-Sea, New Brunswick is the opposite extreme!
But I guess, if you live in a waterfront town, some days you might just want to go fishing!
