Same Experience

to the editor:

just read this to my friend ("sos etiquette," sept. 2) who is visiting, and she can totally relate. she had an old doorknob come off in her hand, and was trapped in her bathroom with no phone. she had to climb out of the window, onto a small landing (in 27-degree weather) and throw mini shampoo bottles at her 80-year-old neighbor's window. she never could get her attention and waited for what seemed forever for someone to pull up outside in our building parking lot so that she could yell for help!
