Last week, I discovered my neighbour sitting on the steps in the hallway 
working on her computer. Apparently, she had locked herself out and had to 
fire up her computer and sit as close to the door as possible to use the

A couple of years ago, visiting Perth, I watched a bloke climb out of an 
upper floor window onto his roof and settle down to work on his laptop, 
seated on the ridgecap.
