why my morning sucked.
Dear Plumbing,
When I got in the shower this morning, it was relatively warm, almost pleasant. Then, after about three minutes, the water got cold. Very cold. Very, very, very cold. Thinking I could fix it, I turned off the shower and ran the water, twisting the dial way into 'hot', hoping it would get warmer. It didn't. Instead, I had to finish washing my hair in ICE COLD water.
Meanwhile, if I ever turn the faucet in the sink anywhere near 'warm', it immediately becomes so scalding hot that I literally have burned myself. Like, touched-a-pan-fresh-out-of-the-oven burned. And the faucet distinguishes temperature only between scalding hot and freezing cold, and nothing in between.
Finally, our toilet doesn't ever stop trying to refill itself. It's purpetually running, and the noise drives me bonkers. It also gets clogged about five times a week.
Plumbing? You can die in a rusty, neglected, pissed-upon pile in our local dump.
With all the hatred in the world,
-me
Dear landlady,
When I tell you my hot water is doing the above, don't get grumpy because I didn't respond to an email I never got. Unless you want me to find the hot water shutoff valve for your apartment and get real friendly with it, get your ass on the phone to a plumber.
No love,
