Eveyone is getting very close, Let me post the original puzzle again to remind you all.
Two men enter a block of flats, they knock on every second door, then they swear and knock on every second door again. Then they get very annoyed! What is happening?
So, we now know they are delivering a couch, why do they swear at first and then get very annoyed?
Originally posted by iamatigerThey went to all the trouble to get the couch to the right apartment, and for some reason were unable to complete the delivery - either there was a problem and the intended recipient refused to accept it, or they couldn't physically get it into the apartment. They then had to retrace their steps back out of the building with the couch.

They try to deliver the couch, getting people to open their doors so they can navigate the couch up the stairs to the next level.
The person they are trying to deliver to isn't in, so they have to re-trace their steps, once again getting people to open theior doors so they can maneouvre the couch down the stairs.
Then, just when they get to the entrance to the apartment block... the owner of the flat to which they are trying to deliver turns up....?
