  • Buddha riding on a dinosaur after Jesus Christ what NOW?

    So my parents are renting out the house for the summer. I get the joy of somewhat cohabitating with them, in that we share the yard and internet connection.

    Because there's no phone jack in my apartment (above the garage) they also get the phone, but my mother tried to turn off the ringer so it wouldn't ring for them, just me.

    Here's their list of complaints so far. For reference, they moved in--for the week thank Gods--yesterday.

    Yesterday.

    * The oil light went on on the pontoon (the upgraded pontoon we gave them.)
    * The kitchen window doesn't lock
    * the house smells like smoke (it might be possible, both my parents are smokers. They did what they could.)
    * The AC doesn't work when the windows are open
    * the fridge doesn't get cold enough

    Here's how they've directly affected my life.

    Three of my bunnies escaped yesterday, and they watched two of them escape, and decided not to do or say anything to anybody. One is still missing. (Unfortunately, I'm calling this guy dead. He's been gone for nearly 30 hours.)
    They unplugged the phone--the only phone I have!--because it was ringing and they didn't like it.
    They unplugged the internet. Then claimed they didn't. (They did.)

    I'm sure this list will get added to.

        Trying to air condition the world?
        (That's what I say to my elderly mother when she opens the doors and windows an leaves the AC going.)
        (She always makes a frustrated noise and replies "I just opened the door - turn it off will you!")

          Can you get a really long phone cord and move the phone to your apartment? Or a cordless with a second charging base?

            I'm getting my phone moved tonight. Right now I have no phone, so the world is gonna end. XP

            As for the bunny, the neighborhood is keeping the eye out. I'm really hoping he surfaces soon. I don't really blame this fully on them... I just wish they'd said something.

                Bunny came home! I am so relieved. One of the neighbors several doors down found him.

                        Why stop there? Sounds like the erstwhile demi-neighbors need the full Cask of Amontillado treatment. Or at least to put a cork in it.
                        Cheap, fast, good. Pick two.

                          Just roll with it. (I really was drinking that beer as I typed that, though.)

                          Because....that's what they had available at the bar I was at!

                              They had every right to complain about the construction next door. It sucks. They start at like, 8 AM sharp, and don't stop until sunset.

                              Instead of complaining, they're watching it and videotaping it. (I admit I'm kinda curious myself. The house they're putting in was built off-site, and is being dropped off there.)
