The Tin Foil Apartment

Posted by Alex in Pictures on December 4, 2007 at 3:41 am


When your friend let you stay at her apartment while she was away for one week, do you repay her kindness by:

A) Buying a really nice bouquet of flower
B) Keeping the place real clean and nice
C) Wrapping everything - and I mean everything - in her apartment with tin foil.

Guess which answer was right:

From the website:

What was Liz’s reaction?
At 5:15pm EST on November 29, 2007, I received the following email from Liz:

subject: habitat
message: YOU R DEAD!

Story in development. Updates to come.

How many rolls of tin foil did you go through?
Six rolls of 50 ft and 4 rolls of 75 ft.

How long did it take you?
Round 1 = 6 hours. Round 2 = ~10+ hours. I slowed down and lost track of time once I found out she wasn’t coming back yet.

This isn’t photoshopped, is it?
Nope. 100% aluminium foil.

What’s that can?
Ashtray with smoked cigs.

What’s on the back of the door?
Bathrobe.

Why didn’t you sleep on the bed?
Sleepovers are for couches and floors. Besides, I was a soaked mess after the shower incident. It’d be just wrong.

Let me get this straight, she was nice enough to let you stay there….and you tinfoiled her house?!
Yes. My friendship is an acquired taste.

    An incredible amount of waste for a few moments of laughter.

    I did this once to a colleague at work. We got to work early on his birthday, and instead of doing his desk up with balloons, streamers, happy birthday signs etc, we covered everything on his desk in tin foil! was hilarious seeing his face when he came in!

    I just wish I was her friend. I’d invite her over everyday.

    I seem to recall an old post here about the same thing, done in pink wrapping paper.
