Flaps
The phone is equidistant from all other points in the flat. Thus, when it rings, you and all other inhabitants are also at equal distance from it, regardless of your starting position - a strange time-space phenomenon. There is always more than one person arriving at the phone to answer it.

It rang for the 3rd time that afternoon, so, determined to get there first (for the win) I leapt up out of my chair, bounded across my room, and jumped straight into the guitar amp. Big cracking sound as toes collided with amp controls, kicked a volume pot right off it, evil wide graze right along the side of my big toe, and hopped back to the chair to wait for pain to subside. Thought about pros/cons of having broken toes and getting frozen peas on the job. Decided coldness of peas would only add to the pain rather than distract or soothe.

There were skin flaps. ARGH.

(ps. it's better now.)
