domestic outrages chronicle

good idea, harbl! they are taking down seventy trees in my neighborhood because because of the crazy "microburst" last summer. A big and beautiful tree used to block the dumpster behind my building but now it is in full view :(

i did do pilot holes! i think i just hold the drill wrong maybe. idk.

Rub bar soap on the screw threads maybe? If the bit is slipping off the screw head, it might be at an angle instead of aligned straight into it but it could be that the threads are seizing up.

trying to balance uncontrollably blasting radiator heat by opening one's windows to temperatures in the teens (F) requires srs calculation

u don't have temp staff for that

two days for that, what a world

why what class stamp did you pay for

the birds in my kitchen exhaust vent are back :(

we have a rat infestation :(

they shit everywhere (BIG shits!) and oh god the smell of their pee

You win :(

showed up to new place yesterday to find that girl moving out was not even close to being done packing/cleaning/moving out. latest move in estimate is tomorrow? arghhh subleasing!!!

!

Me too!

but its ok our old landlord doesnt need place tonight so its kinda chill

BUT STILL gtfo ur old house I want it pls

like who moves out of a place at 6pm rly

t why are you going to MN? new jobz?

my jobz is making my house be seriously bad. i need some relax/gym/reading time bc i'm going to work tomorrow so i'm not even really gonna clean it up. except a little of the kitchen.

yes, new job! I start tuesday and I wld really like a place to live now pls :(

this girl is in serious denial and doesn't seem to care about my need for a place to live...yet wants me to care about all her 390 reasons she didn't get her shit out in time. lady, I had oral surgery on tuesday and still managed to make sure my place was empty and clean Tuesday afternoon (pro tip: hire help), then drove 1000+ miles. I don't rly care about your sob stories.

that is so rude and annoying for you, good luck with your new job and house and good luck to you too deems. the same thing happened to us once, we were renting off the owner and when we turned up with our truck she claimed we were a day early which luckily we had in writing we were not, and then the house never felt sorted because the handover was such a shambles.

i just addressed a rotten carnations in water situation and now there is a shocking stench in the laundry.

we are in and well ty but we appear to have a catpissy cupboard any ideas obv I'm outraged

take the cupboard outside and blow it up on the lawn

or

buy some carnations and put them in water and leave them in the cupboard for a week (maybe six weeks in your climate which a quick check of the weather channel has just told me is currently 25 degrees C cooler than ours) anyway you will soon forget all about the catpiss or at least think back on it with fond nostalgia.

it is at least that much colder

experience tells me that things go away much less quickly when you buy them flowers pray deliver an explanation as to why catpiss may be the exception

or at least give me a line to feed stace when a pissy cupboard ive only just met gets the lovey dovey treatment that she may herself (despite all outward projection tbf) have been craving this ten odd years

gut feeling sez you'd get yr outrage followed v quickly by a domestic

i am on team stace in this debacle so you will have to cook up your own lines.

yeah it suits you tbph sniff

I hope your pissy cupboard is resolved soon! We are in the process of scrubbing kitchen cabinets and applying new shelf lining too! I'm pretty sure this chick used a rug doctor without actually vacuuming anything first! three of four blades on the second bedroom ceiling fan are sitting on a shelf with a bag of screws. Why are they not attached to the fan? my father is a saint.

previous tenant also appears to have spread bird seed (not salt) on the driveway so now we track bird seed into the house!

all of this seems strange to me but gl in the new place

i like how around the time of the bird seed discovery tza stopped calling that daft nuisance a girl and started calling her a chick instead.

She is German...I expected more precision in her moving out.

you're ignoring the history of unwarranted occupation there imo

ok bird seed is hilarious

it's EVERYWHERE 😭

maybe the ceiling fan blades became loose when she tried to sharpen her beak on them.

chirp chirp!

landlord came tonight and was not pleased with how she left things so i got him to knock $50 off the deposit :)

The Georgetown Ants are back and not interested in the bait that nailed them last time.

those rotten little fashion forward fusspots.

put a wool suit jacket in the wash

I stuck my head into our attic to see about storage space and instead of a dank leaky roof Netherland I instead found a carpeted sklyit den wired with beanbags and reading nests already wired for tv and cable and with the wall bracket for tv already installed.

an Xbox and all assorted gear appears to have been left also.

the ladder to this haven of delight pulls back up after you if you so wish.

herself is, need I say, outraged.

congrats on yr mancave! Just yesterday I came across this clock in the home improvement store. I think it would add to the ambiance quite well.

its an equal opportunities cave anyone can come in and watch sports and play sports games or talk about sports

your use of the plural makes me feel very welcome

you are just that

I'm going to attempt venetian blind restringing. Feeling wary and mentally rehearsing an excellent sequence of profanity.

when will you do it? i could happen by in hopes of overhearing.

I'm debating - would have been Saturday morning. BUT! that is the Pi day of the century, and do I want to remember it as That Venetian Debacle? so, possibly not til Sunday, timed for full meltdown when the JWs come knocking (generally 10ish).

thou art so brave

OMG, it's done and not a single cuss word flew.
