A 21-year-old has revealed how people find it bizarre that she genuinely lives in an old people's home, but she doesn't care because she loves it.
The woman, who posts on TikTok with the handle @playboylacroix, moved into a retirement complex after struggling to find any other accommodation in the town where she needs to be for work - but she doesn't work in the home.
She regularly takes to the app to give tours of her unusual living situation, where there's regularly old ladies playing board games and free baked goods on offer.
In fact, people in the complex are so welcoming, they regularly leave food on her door step for her coming in from work and people regularly lock their doors as its so safe.

When asked by her followers how she ended up living in the accommodation, the woman explained that the town decided to open up the free apartments due to a lack of rental properties in the area.
"Because of the nature of my job, I need to be at work. And I travel a lot but it was impossible to find housing. So this town has a lot of people who come here for that reason, and they had no housing other than low income," she explained.
"So they started allowing people to live in their old folks home because it was one of their only rental units that would have openings.
"There’s a tech school in town and there’s a handful of about three or four people my age that live here, but 90 percent of the people that live here are still old folks because they live here since before the city bought it and allowed other people to live here.
"It's still very much an old people’s home - I feel like I'm in Golden Girls."
