- 11:07 a.m. People are dumb... GAWDDAMNIT!! My roommates are so fucking dumb!!! We live in this building that is about 100 years old. The wiring in the house is old, and we have circuit breakers in each apartment. The circuit breaker in the house is always going off on this one fuse, which is irritating as fuck all when you are on the computer and all of a sudden the power goes out. Why is the circuit breaking? Let us evaluate the situation: Roommate 1 has: A computer, a TV, a mini fridge, and an air conditioner in her room. Roommates number two and three have: Set up the computer in the front room as a network computer so it always has to be on if you need the internet, a TV, a blow dryer, and an air conditioner in their room. I have: A computer in my room and a blow dryer. Period. ALL of these devices are plugged into the same circuit. Now you say “Meryle! Why don’t you plug stuff into a different circuit?” The only other circuit available already has the fridge, the microwave, my floor fan, and you can’t use the microwave and my fan at the same time. So the other solution would obviously be: a) take one of the air conditioners, put it in the front room, and everyone keep their doors open for air flow. Then stop using the other air conditioner. GAWDDAMNIT!!! There it goes again! I just lost a bunch of what I wrote! Anyway, the other things to do are get a router so that the computer in the front room doesn’t have to be on all the time, and Roommate one puts her food in the main fridge, and keeps the fridge unplugged, except when she has overflow from the main fridge. I tell this to roommate one; she looks at me suspiciously and says “….. I’ll think about it.” Roommate number two says, “Uh yeah, well I’m really busy, I have to get up for work tomorrow, and uh… I don’t have time for this.” And when I explained the wiring in an old building she says “well why don’t we just get the land lord to fix the problem?” Uh well no, that would require the ENTIRE building being re-wired and trust me that ain’t gonna happen. “uh it’s all because roommate one has a mini fridge in her room.” And then when I told her about the Router she says “uh well, who’s gonna pay for that, you know our budget is tight….” Well we all are, between four people it ain’t much. And for Christ sake roommate two! You and Roommate three pay $367 a month between the two of you, you shop at Chinese grocery stores and eat luncheon meat, hot dogs, and ramen, BY CHOICE not necessity, Roommate number three works part-time at the LCBO (which I know pays well) and you work part time at some business office/temp agency thingy. Trust me. Even if you two work 16 hours a week, the amount of money you spend on stuff, still leaves you with a minimum of $500 at the end of the month. Do you really smoke that much pot? I mean GAWDDAMN!!! These people are what is wrong with the world! They would rather blame the other roommates appliances, have to turn on the circuit two or three times a day (thus inconveniencing everyone in the house) then get rid of their creature comforts, or move “their” possessions out of their room. God forbid you have to leave the door to your room open. God forbid we don’t fuck up the hard drive of peoples computers. Fucking greedy, selfish, pinheads!!!
