I live in an apartment building, with about 100 units. The supers are great… I don’t have any issue with them. They know my daughter and I by name, treat us with respect, and I even baked cookies for them at Christmas. My issue, is with the building owner. About a month ago on a Saturday morning, I went to do the dishes. To my surprise, there was no hot water! I found this odd, considering Heat & Hot Water is included in my rent… but thought nothing of it, waited a little while and sure enough, there was hot water about an hour later. Then this past Saturday, the same thing happened. I called our fantastic supers and they explained to me that there was an issue with the Hot Water pump and that all should be rectified within an hour or so. Ok, cool. No big deal. Luckily I don’t work on Saturdays and my daughter and I usually chill out in the morning with no rush. Then this morning happened. 6:45am. My daughter throws up. I go to clean her up with a warm bath. Guess what. NO FUCKING HOT WATER!!! It’s a Goddamn Tuesday! My daughter is covered in puke, I need to rinse said puke out of jammies, bedding, HAIR, etc and what am I suppose to do? Bathe her in freezing cold water? How do I have a shower for work? Wash my fucking face even? So, I found myself heating the kettle with water and filling my kitchen sink so that I could get her cleaned up the best I could and get myself ready for work. WTF is the goddamn issue with the hot water? The supers are obviously trying to do everything they can to fix it for us (They live there too!) and yet, from all I can figure, Miss Fucking Snot Nosed “I got this building as a fucking wedding gift” won’t spend the money to fix the fucking water pump! So, FIX THE MOTHER FUCKING HOT WATER PROBLEM!!!! I pay rent. I am a good tenant. Is there something wrong with having hot water – am I being spoiled by demanding it???? —Tired of Cold Showers

Okay, Ima gone say it if no one else is – Poor Survivor just can’t catch a friggin break. Plus, the new man in her life – he’s a bus driver. BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA
I’m so very lonely >: (
Well atleast you don’t live in MY building. The hot water works but only for exactly 3.25 minutes. It takes SKILL to shave pits & legs and rinse shampoo & conditioner before the water runs out. And forget Leisurely Orgasms under the detachable shower-head – they’re definitely a thing of the past.
OP – you have several completely legal options at your disposal. I HIGHLY recommend that you call the Tenancy Board and address the issue directly with them. If you’ve got a stuck up twat for a landlord who won’t fix anything, then bitching on here won’t do you any good. Calling the Tenancy Board and having your rent held in trust certainly will though. Good luck!
let’s see now, kettle, microwave oven, pot on stove. there are 3 ways to have hot or warm water in about 2 minutes. next time use head instead of mouth to start a bitch you won’t win. i have the same thing happen here from time to time. shit does happen o.p., and if you use a little ingenuity, you can win.
a golden shower booger? man that was cold, or maybe just warm for you.
no_fool, you are a female, i thought you were a guy.however, with the orgasm thing, i could deffinately help you there, and no water would be needed, til later. i await your response.
Did you ask what the problem is. They could be waiting for a part or the whole thing needs replacing and have to wait. Both of these are beyond their control. They appear to be working on it. Before going off half-cocked, check into the why.
And I, with you, Foodie. Because when the vodka plays and the balaikas flow – all men are as brothers. Or something like that….
OB – Got a cow?
Shower substitute, Booger?

Um if you live in the same building as me I can tell you right now for about a month i have been experiencing the SAME thing. I went to have a relaxing bath after working all day and going to the gym and there was just luke warm to cold water about two weeks ago. I had to get my boyfriend to put the kettle on about 3 or 4 times and even then it didn’t do much!(i do not have a microwave so that was not an option)
. I live in a building down town between sobeys and the super store.
The water has been like this for a while now and I too have been complaining about it a lot. the other night i went to do dishes and same thing! Washed my hands after i got home from work around 5 pm last night and NO hot water even on 100% hot.
Its definitely a piss off when you pay for it and your not getting it. I was thinking of writing a bitch but seems you have beat me to it!
Atleast you don’t have cockroaches, bedbugs, tarantulas and wasps running rampant around your building. I’m moving out on valentines day. I’m moving into my new home and gonna have a great lay! Oh yeah
Call the tenancy board & fill out the paperwork. Like everything there is work involved in filing a complaint but it is worth it.
I don’t have a hot water tank. I’ve got this coil thing… that cold water from the well goes in one end & after going through this coil steaming hot water comes out the other end. Its oil fired & instead of heating water & keeping a tank hot all the time, it only runs when its making hot water.
Oh yeah, you don’t run out of hot water .
Although I suppose you could, but the oil has to run out first…or the well go dry ~;)
Sounds like the landlord’s going to be in hot water!
just finished reading an old bitch from november las year. from anon. it was fucking hilarios to say the least. but thanks guys for having faith in the old horny dog. and yes, i will keep trying to score here. that’s what life is all about, right kitty, and alex. you guys might ned a good larf, so if not too busy, go back and reread,”stop trying tp pick on ltwwb boards”. bluenoser must have had a kin in his undies that day, but al is forgiven b.n., in b.c.
Life sucks – Why did you think I was a guy? This comment thread is hilarious! LOL @ bedbug guy…. I would suggest you BURN everything you own so you don’t bring the bugs with you to your new place. And take a HOT SHOWER in Javex. Hope you get your well-deserved shag. Booger picker – I can eat way more pizza rolls than that little bitch!
