Did you have to ask them to let you watch porn

The hot and cold taps were the wrong way round on the bath one place i lived. My housemate ran himself a cold bath and didn’t notice until he got in lol

Ah mate, I forgot about your internet issues! Weirdly our tap in the kitchen does hot and cold in one direction, and the ones upstairs do it the other way. Confusing! Ah, rented accommodation.

All good here, just capping off a large piece of work as mentioned oop thar, just the 14821 words of typing this evening! Arg.

yeah I messaged the letting agent and said ‘there’s a child lock on the internet, would you mind removing it’. she knows. I know. I still don’t have porn.

:joy: i actually text her about it when the gas went on, like ‘err… the gas is fixed and everything is working but the bathroom sink doesn’t have hot water’. Realised an hour later that it was labelled wrong and had to text her again. Bet she’s delighted I’ve moved in.

I mean, getting the taps on right is pretty basic stuff, i don’t think you’re the idiot there

One place i lived had a shower head that on its highest setting was eye level on me, an average height woman. Why do they let people with no common sense install bathrooms?

the shower in my last place was a good half a foot shorter than I am. people are stupid. And i will give these stupid people £500 a month and pay their mortgages for them until I die. Stupid idiots.

I lived in a truly decrepit houseshare once where the rear ring of the hob gave you an electric shock if you turned it on. Obviously, we reported this to the landlord who sent his mate round. Said mate looked at the cooker, took the knob off and went, “If you can’t turn it on, you can’t get a shock.” That was the solution.

Also, the washing machine broke and he just … took it away. Washed my clothes in the bath for about three months. Loved my time.

And people wonder why anyone could possibly complain about landlords, huh. I do sometimes look at chunks of my life and think, “Why have bits of it been so shit?” and then I remember, it’s my terrible choices lol

(In fairness, at the time I was mostly working as a musician and that was pretty sweet, but I was also hella depressed so swings and roundabouts)

Just remembered that my ex lived for quite a long time in a place that had no lighting. It broke after he moved in and I think needed extensive electrical work doing and he didn’t want to move out because it was cheap, so the landlord just… carried on taking his money while providing a 19th century standard of accommodation.

That’s fucking horrendous! Every dinner a candlelit dinner I suppose.

#116

Lol as if any of the arseholes I’ve been out with in the past would do candlelit dinners. Don’t think that one even ever cooked me dinner. He didn’t have a table to eat it at either.

I’m definitely due a full holiday body shutdown.
