It was really nice today when I went to do the dishes and there was no hot water and that I had not been informed that it was going to be off, at least I didn’t try to have a shower cause that just makes for a bad day.
Then I decided to ask the guy outside when it would be back on and he said around 8, five more hours. What’s with not telling your tenants that the hot water is going to be off? —Mad Tenant

This happened to me somewhat. I went to get a shower one morning and no hot water. I called the LL and he said he would call me back when he figured it out. I went to my mom’s to shower and such and the LL called me back a few hours later and said my building was out of oil or something and that someone should be over soon to fill us up. The landlord’s company took over the building not too long ago and I suspect the oil was overlooked or that the previous owner of the building canceled their account or something of that sort. Maybe you also are out of oil OP!
No hot water, turn on a kettle. It’s ok, a lot worse could be happening to you. Don’t say “oh I pay rent blah blah” At least it’s coming back at 8 and at least you have water.
I’ve taken a few cold showers in the past and it isn’t the end of the world.
OMG no hot water for five hours – Call out the army.
Speaking of the army, I saw a pack of men in camo walk down the Robie street, and then a bicycle fitted with a motor going pretty fast (for a bicycle) but still holding up the traffic. Very strange day and totally off topic.
forget about the fact you have clean water delivered to your place.the inhumanity.weak fuck
Get large pot
Fill pot with freezing cold water
place it on stove
turn to high setting
Wait until you hear a rumbling sound (water is now at rolling boil)
dump contents of pot into sink
??did you remember to first put the plug in place ??
If you did, add a little cold water to bring temperature down to what your hands can stand
Do dishes.
Hello Once Again to All My Friends in the Underclass!
Thinking things over, I’m re-considering my departure from LTWWB. I just said I’m thinking about it, so don’t become over-excited.
My reasons for this are, as always, in the interests of raising the intellectual level of the Comments (one can do little about the Bitches which induce, for the most part, little more than eye=watering tedium) so that they might come to approximate what ordinariy passes for human communication. I’m thinking of appearing only so often – one must ration one’s words of wisdom – in order to review the recent vapourings and apply the powers of my rigorous conceptual analysis to say nothing, of course, of my lyrical prose. In other words, I’m thinking of appearing as an “Honoured Guest,” a status I’m sure all will wholeheartedly applaud.
Now, looking quickly over the recent offerings, all I can say is that I hope Paingirl and the Appalling Buffoon consumate their relationship shortly.
Cheeerio!
BUSTED! >; )
Now I gotta buy “bear” spray. *snort*
I think we’re both happily monogamous and pretty comfy with the status quo. Rawk!
🙁
Yo….Ivan, when go shopping, pick me up some Prep-H wll you. For some reason my ass is burning. 😮
It soothes and lubes . Will do Hugo. If you’re going to be bed-ridden (heh heh) can I pick you up a book ? >; )
you forget ivan, your beloved is my bff and you can admit that you’re my shrink…yeehaw
It would be a serious breach of professional ethics, and I’m not terribly hirsute either. >: (
Besides , bein’ a playa would conflict with my current duties as “The Anti-Christ of Hip”. My current tenure ends, Dec 12, 2012, when, apparently, so does everything else.
i’m only interested in brains, thanks for the headsup re: the world is coming to an end…better go get some papier d’aluminium. j’aime dimanche…days rawk
but see o.p., you are living in the wrong place.
A cold shower won’t kill you. Worst case, you wake up from your hot-shower dream.
If this is the only thing you have to bitch about you have a pretty good life.
I never tip my landlord when the water is freezing cold.
