(no subject)
Here is how you know I live in the shittiest apartment in France:
THINGS THAT ARE BROKEN
1) The oven. It has apparently never worked for even a single day of its existence. It serves as storage for pots and pans.
2) The toilet seat. It swivels and I always end up getting smacked in the back by the toilet lid, which, gross.
3) The toilet flusher. For some unknowable reason, you can no longer push down on the button, but rather have to pull the entire thing, fixture and all, up to engage the flushing mechanism.
4) The heater in my room. This is why I have halfway moved into the kitchen.
5) The fixture you put the shower head in. Because it was shoddily, shoddily screwed into the wall and not held in with screws or caulk.
6) As of today, the shower head itself. It has disconnected itself from the cheap, plastic tubing and we can no longer shower. The shower head was technically already somewhat broken (it had a crack in the back that water would spurt out of), but now it has been rendered completely useless.
It is at this point that I am insisting that someone get a motherfucking plumber, because I can buy new plastic casing or silicone glue for the shower fixture, and I can live with a slightly wonky toilet, and I'm probably going to buy a space heater in January, but I cannot fix a fucking shower.
I should point out, also, that whoever built the shower also put no plastic lining under the shower door and no silicone sealant along the base of the tub, which is why water kept leaking down into our neighbors' kitchen from our bathroom.
Whatever contractor did the work on this apartment should be publicly shamed. What a shitty-ass apartment I live in. I already pay for all the cleaning supplies; I don't want to sink my money into making this place livable, too, because my roommate is too broke and way too flighty to give a damn.
On the other hand, our cleaning efforts were successful, so it looks awfully nice this morning.
