No big surprise for me! The other person in the hall

I have been using this strategy for several years now ever since I lost my vision.  It all has to do with combining my senses of smell and hearing to help me decipher or determine if there is anyone else around me.

This is what I do whenever I go out early in the morning to take my garbage to the chute. At that time the hallway in my condo building is dead quiet and I can even hear my footsteps echoing along the carpet as I walk.

I quietly open my door, slip out of my doorway, and gently close and lock my door.  Then I proceed to walk as silently as I can down the hallway, carefully carrying my garbage bag.

My antennas are on full alert.  I have deployed my senses of smell and hearing as I walk and I am ready to discover whether or not there is anyone else in the hallway.  On most mornings there is no one but a few months ago there was someone standing in front of the elevator as I approached.

I said good morning and he responded but I could tell that he was shocked that I knew that he was there.  He asked me how I knew that he was there and I smiled and said that I had smelled his sweet-scented after shave!  He laughed and wished me a pleasant day.
