Are you pissed off? I'm pissed off. Vent Thread.

So, this is what I walked in to at my apartment a little bit ago:

Did your upstairs neighbours turn on every tap in the apartment and leave for a week?!

[Nadia]

That is absolutely out of control. The other day we experienced some leaking from the bathroom upstairs down into our bedroom and into my roommate's closet. I rather thought it was a big leak until I saw yours, and now I feel that I can hardly complain.


I am not one to complain about the heat usually; as much as I complain about the cold during the winter I can only welcome hot weather. But it seems like I have been drinking water endlessly, and whatever the matter I am still dehydrated.

Ughhhhhhhhh me tooooooooooooo.  I admit, I do have a tendency to bitch about the heat anyway, but I've tried to be consciously aware of it so as not to make a massive nuisance of myself.  This is RIDICULOUS though.  I step out the door and I break a sweat (not literally, but damn close).  I have to have the AC cranked to max to make a difference in the apartment.  The bedroom is unbearable, and the kitchen is worse.  Only the living room is even LIVABLE right now.  I've been living on watermelon for two days because everything else sounds too heavy and dehydrating.  Anyone want to send a thunderstorm down this way to break the heat?  I'm not sure if that's meteorologically accurate, but there seems to be a relationship between the storm and the break in the heat, so I'm willing to try it!

I'll go with yes. We got a thunderstorm today and I actually felt like eating food. We went out and got pizza and garlic bread. Also, I am thinking of taking a shower and wearing clothes. Before it seemed completely pointless to shower. I have been moving around and even cleaned some today. The rest of the week consisted of being completely idle while in the house. We don't have air conditioning. As soon as the rain started coming down we headed outside.

I will get in on this WTF, heat? gripe-fest, too.  Yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded at Dulles airport.  (At the other two regional airports, it was merely the second-hottest day ever recorded.)  With the humidity, the heat index for the whole DC area was 121, also a record.

Kristin chose a bad time to visit the mid-Atlantic.

[Nadia]

It's cooled down a lot more here now that's it's rained. It's actually below eighty today and it feels great outside. Aaaannnd...I shouldn't complain because when I'm hot I'm too hot and when I'm cold I'm too cold, and when I'm right in the middle I'm still complaining. BUT my friends and I are supposed to go hiking today and the forecast calls for rain at the exact time we planned to head out. I feel like Mother Nature is just laughing in my face. She's like, "You wanted it to cool down? Well take THAT."

[chimera]

Ugh, all of that makes me glad we visited last year rather than now.  Our weather has been fairly temperate though I'm thinking we're due for some broiling (again) at some point.

[dee]

I love the NW. Yesterday was hot as hades but today is another gloriously temperate, rainy day.

omg, I'm so sorry sin. *hugs*

*hugs* for Jason. You need a new lawyer.

[kristin]

Car troubles are so stressful.

[r00]

definitely one of the worst kinds of stress.  I so agree. 

[videodrone]

So I'm wondering if my downstairs neighbors will get the fucking hint to pick up after their dog if I start picking up after the dog and leaving it at their front door with a note attached saying, "Hey you forgot something."

One of the reasons we left a day early. It was already about 100 degrees in DC by 10am on Friday.

you will so be my hero if you do this.

So being that I'm such a nice person I get food through my work for my friend's freakishly large dog. Even paying cost he eats $100 of food a month. Anyway recently I ordered the food but she couldn't make it to my work in time to pick it up, knowing that she always pays cash I paid for it myself and took it home so she could get it at my place the next day. She for whatever reason didn't have cash with her so wrote me a check....which bounced, so not only do I still not have the money but my bank charged me a fee for the bad check

Also she just returned from Vegas where her phone was stolen so I have to communicate through fb about it all. Boo

[boom]

Dude that is a serious party foul. If she doesn't at least offer to cover the bank fee she needs to be 86'd.
