Things that frustrate us all

JirinPanthosa said:
Had very frustrating experience with landlord this week.

He said he saw a water leakage under my apartment in the basement that was increasing water bills. Now, I only ever go there if I need to reset the circuit breaker which is rare, and there was no leak in my apartment, so I had no idea it was there.

He comes into my unit to look for other leaks and complains about cleanliness. Now, my apartment is not that dirty. There is a lot of clutter, but any dirt and grime is cleaned and absolutely no food crumbs are left out. And if you saw the living spaces of every single person I’ve ever lived with including roommates and parents, you’d say my apartment was on the neat side. My dad’s house has decades of clutter and even a smashed up bathroom sink. By all my experience with any other humans, my apartment is relatively clean. But to HIS standards it's apparently a pigsty. So he goes off on me about not maintaining my apartment and “wasting his money”. I basically have a week to make it look like I have a maid.

And even what he says wouldn’t be too unreasonable, except he’s a person who can’t discuss any issue of any magnitude without adopting a tone that’s condescending and completely unempathetic.

I think I just need to buy a house and not have to deal with this shit.

Yeah, then all repairs and never-ending maintenance are YOUR responsibility, not the landlords, and you'll be lucky if you have money left over to eat.

That being said, yeah, I'm glad I have a mortgage and don't have to worry about rents that keep going up and up and up.....

Money is tight either way but home ownership is the preferred option.

I'll take on all the stress in the world if it's stress within my control.

Just I have no idea the process of buying a house. Financially it's fine for me, just I don't know how to do it.

turning wine into water, I meant. It's all in a day's work for a kidney. ;)

I'm pretty frustrated today for something one can't really rant about since there's nothing one can do: yesterday, I got a letter from a friend who recently had a severe heart attack. 3 surgeries kept him alife but he counts as disabled now as a considerable part of his heart was destroyed and his outlook is anything but positive. And on top of all that he was mobbed and bullied on several boards and on social media and quit them all because he can't deal with his health and the mobbing. He also had to give up his membership in a Star Trek club since he is too ill to travel to their meetings.
I wish I could do something for him, health-wise. And remote-whack those bullies. How much deeper can someone sink than bullying a lethally ill man? :(

Couple of things...

3ds Max keeps losing my custom keyboard shortcuts and I have n idea why.

Last night I believe I was experiencing severe signs or symptoms of angina. I guess the good thing to come out of it was that I went to sleep and woke up a couple of hours later and those chest/back pains had completely disappeared.

I've bought two houses myself, I completely understand how scay it is! All you've got to do really is call any local realtor and she'll be able to help you find a place you like and do sll your paper work, and if you call your bank and say you want to buy a house you'll be put in touch with a mortgage officer! :)

Woke up with a sinus headache that penetrates my entire head.

Oh dear, I just hate those! Aren't they absolutely awful? I've found sudafed often really helps me and relieves some of my pressure. I hope you feel better soon!
 
Woke up in the middle of the night with a muscle cramp in my calf. It hurts real bad, fortunately, it goes away very quickly if you just walk it off for a few minutes. The problem is that it then takes a few minutes to relax and go back to sleep.

Do you frequently delete temporary files? These customs settings might be logged in one. It's not very likely, but programmers are only human and prone to mistakes.

You should tell your doctors about the chest and back pains, particularly your anesthesist for the surgery on Monday. It's possible he has to adjust the narcosis accordingly or use a different drug. Also, tell them you take betablockers - they influence the blood coagulation and that's an important factor in any surgery, particularly with diabetics with whom the healing process is slower anyway.

Not actually taking betablockers right now...but I will be talking to my doc tomorrow.
 
A parent who bring noisy kids with her that and either do nothing or hush them once. Then when they leave, the kids have left a mess and things on the floor and instead of picking up the mess her kids made, she just leaves the mess.

That is annoying. You should make her stand in the corner.

Unless she has compensating qualities, I wouldn't remain friends with someone like that.

Thanks. The most depressing thing about being depressed is being depressed. It’s bonkers, and depressing.

It will get better! Hang in there :)

I hate when that happens, it’s kinda strange some parents don’t know how to be parents.
