The worst day ever

[MagGnome]

As if things weren't bad enough... (http://www.colonyofgamers.com/cogforums/showthread.php?t=2488)


I was sitting in my room, playing Eets and reading COG, when my roommate came home with his sister. I heard them out in the living room chatting and opening a bottle of wine. A few minutes later there's a commotion and my roommate yells for me to come out. I go into the kitchen, and he points up at the ceiling.

What do I see when I look up? A huge dark spot, which wasn't there an hour ago. In the middle of this dark spot is a hole, and coming from this hole is a steady drip of water. Water that smells like a dog's ass on a hot summer day.

My roommate runs upstairs and bangs on the door of our neighbor. Apparently their drain had clogged and they decided to run the dishwasher and go out for a while. They came home to find their whole kitchen flooded. What did they do? They mopped up the water and cracked open some beers.

I called maintenance. The guy didn't sound too concerned, and said he would come over later. I became very stern and said "Look here, we've got water coming into our kitchen and a HOLE IN OUR FUCKING CEILING." Now he's coming in half an hour. Meanwhile we've turned off the lights in the kitchen and moved everything out to the living room.

What's next? Tornado? Hurricane? Swarm of locusts?

Maybe I should go to church tomorrow.

There's worse things that could come out of a strange hole in your ceiling.

When it rains...it pours? Ouch...sorry...i'll go away now...

Ms. Claus will cheer you up...

Imagine you find a hole in your ceiling and see a little finger poking out. I'd move.

Yeah, it could have been a glory hole.

Sorry to hear about your day, Mag. Let's hope tomorrow is a better day.

Ok, now I can't stop looking at my ceiling looking for...fingers...

Or get out some lube and just run with it...

Yeah but then you need to pay for stilts training and whatnot, I don't have that kind of ambition.

I've played it. I was on Chapter 4 and was going to play more this weekend. "Was" being the operative word there. :p

Seriously, I must have really pissed off some dark ancient god.

[squirrelTactics]

A flaming bus full of toddlers could have come crashing into your building, blowing up the entire structure in a raging fireball of household appliances and dismembered limbs, so you have that comfort to hold on to.

[ADDGirl]

if it makes you feel any better when I walked in the kitchen tonight a spider promptly started it's decent towards the kitchen table and I freaked out

[MagGnome]

My roommate just discovered that the water is going down through the wall and flooding our entry-way closet as well. The floor in the closet is soaked.

This is the shittiest apartment I have ever lived in.

[civil]

Chairs, Cubano. Chairs and tables.

Have you had a lot of experience smelling dogs' asses in the summertime?

Haha, thanks for making me laugh. :)

I have some strange kinks, okay?

Maybe this one will come out of the hole, no?

Cheer up man, things will get better!

But will it "be wachun him hav secks"?

Dude. Screw the super, you need to find a young priest and an old priest.

I actually thought of that when I made this thread.

Alas, I have yet to spot ceiling cat. I'll go into the kitchen and start masturbating to lure him out.

You're so close to getting sigged sir! :D

[Squidbot]

Damn it, Mags, you're having some seriously shitty luck. Fortunately, you've got this collection of reprobates to inject some levity into your day.
"I have a huge leak in my ceiling" leads to "Masturbate in the kitchen in hope of seeing a cat".

Got to love this place.

[MagGnome]

You're so close to getting sigged sir! :D

I made the maintenance guy clean my load off the floor.

It was the least he could do.

Indeed. Without COG I would be sobbing in the corner.

The maintenance guy basically admitted that our unit has serious mold issues. My roommate and I have concluded that we are going to call management on Monday and demand that we be allowed to move to a new apartment in the building. My roommate has had a persistant cough since about a month after we moved in. There is visible mold in several areas of the apartment, and it's obvious that they just tried to patch over it.

[DarkDay]

Time to leave mag, just...leave. Find a bar, sit at it and start drinking. You've earned it.

[Generation ABXY]

Now, I’m not a religious person – you know that – but all of this...

Maybe I should go to church tomorrow.

Seriously, I must have really pissed off some dark ancient god.

...combined with all the talk of sin and abomination in the Prop. 8. thread had me laughing. I didn’t mean to, of course, I felt really sorry for you up until that last line. :D


Oh, and I am sorry to hear it. :(

[MagGnome]

It's obvious that my homosexuality brought this on. :p


Now I'm starving, and I am NOT eating in that kitchen. It smells like an ancient, musty locker room in there. Blech.

[diablopath]

EDIT: I will learn to read threads.

[Gorvi]

This sounds like the beginning to a Cthulhu mythos story. If you see any shoggoths, I think they like cheese. ;)

In all seriousness, that sucks. :(

[Kelegacy]

I bet tons of spider will come through the damp hole in the middle of the night. Better watch out.

[Mr. Murphy]

Ever see the alternate ending of Jacob's Ladder?

...yeah.

[AbeLincoln]

I was in fact expecting the dark hole to suddenly burst with baby spiders crawling everywhere... smelly water, while bad, is probably preferable.

[Wasson_]

that sucks magpie, hope you get your shit strained out. I can't be upset, I've gotta pint of Smirnoff Ice to drink...so yeah, this shit is good. lol.../glug glug glug...

I'd say more but...just play past chapter 4...all answers will follow. And you may want to get some plaster for that hole after finding your answers :p

Mags has alien beings coming out of his ceiling. I don't think you made him feel better :eek:

Now it sounds like you are living in Rapture. Living in a Bioshock world could be cool...

You want shitty apts? The Room...Silent Hill...

Ok, i'll stop...before Ms. Claus catches me harassing you :D

[hunterx280]

I know how you feel man. Last week or so was a pain in the ass for me. First, my poor wife had some serious pains in her shoulder, we were in the ER at 2:30 AM because she literally could not lift her right arm. I did not get a wink of sleep until about 4:30 AM just exhausted physically and emotionally.

A few days later my starter breaks. Sadly, I have no car fixing skills besides basic maintenance. So that was a few hundred down the drain.

Next, I find out that my wife needs new brakes in her car so that was ANOTHER $300 to replace and she will need new tires soon as well.

Nothing life threatening but main was it stressful so you have my sympathy.

[Karmakin]

Rocket scientist there, I tell ya.

You know what I think you need Mags?

You need this guy.

Seriously, fuck you. :p

The maintenance guy didn't do a whole lot. We found water in the entry closet as well, and he sucked that up with a wet vac. I've got two fans running in the kitchen and living room and the window is wide open. It's freezing out, and I'm huddled in my room with the door closed.

The kitchen and living room smell horrible, like an ancient locker room. I got a headache while eating out there earlier.

I'm exhausted, and I think I'm just going to watch a movie and hope that this was all a horrible dream.

Oh, and my roommate and I are demanding that we be allowed to move. We found out that our apartment is infested with mold in every room, and the management company merely painted over it.

Aww, sorry to hear about your wife. I hope she's doing okay.

It sounds like your week has been even worse than mine. If you were in the area I'd buy you a drink.

You should buy some Raid, not drinks. You are going to need it tonight, when you're sleeping and spiders are swarming your apartment.

They like damp. They'll first come through that wet hole, then into your stuff in the closet, then wander into your room...your mouth is damp. Might crawl right on inside.

Lots of them. While you sleep.

[nnanji]

I hope everything goes better for you, but if not... here's my story.

One night, when I was about 6 years old, I awoke from a horrible nightmare about the Spider People From Outer Space Who Attacked with Mysterious Odors, to find that I was being rained upon. Now, I'm not normally a momma's boy, but this was a completely new experience and I wasn't certain how to react, so I wrap my sodden blanket around me and march sullenly to my mother's room.

"Mom," I cry, "It's raining in my room."

"What?" She mumbles, less than amused at being woken by this obvious bullshit.

"It's raining in my room."

""Don't lie," she replied. "It's not raining in your room. Go back to bed."

So I marched back to my bedroom, reassured by my sweet, sainted mother that there was nothing wrong with my world. But, alas, when I got back to my room I found that is was, indeed, raining inside my room. I even stuck my hand out to feel the liquid drops of water on my hand. So I turned around and went back to my mother's room and demanded that she attend to this problem.

As it turns out, the upstairs neighbor liked to use too much toilet paper when she used the bathroom. The resulting clog caused a ruptured pipe and the ensuing rainstorm upon my head. Not only did this explain why the Spider People have such Mysterious Odors, I also had to get rid of everything I owned, because it had... well, been shit upon. Most literally.


Sadly, this was not the only time I had to get rid of something because this women, or one of her pets, shit upon my stuff.

...yeah.

Fucking awesome.

How the hell else did she shit on you?

[Nameless]

Oh, and my roommate and I are demanding that we be allowed to move. We found out that our apartment is infested with mold in every room, and the management company merely painted over it.

Man, I hate that shit. My old townhouse was like that, particularly the bathroom. It was disgusting and unsanitary. We eventually moved out, and apparently mold is a significant problem for them, as I spoke two at least two other groups of students who said the same thing.

Anyway, I do hope all your troubles are taken care of soon, and that everything goes back to normal soon. I wish I could do something to help you out, but besides these small words, I cannot. This is the kind of time, though, where it's worth going back to the old PC games pile, and play a classic. Fallout maybe? It's all the rage, I hear.

[Whunpo]

Man, that is some seriously shitty luck.
Mags, you mentioned that you wanted some spiritual help? I am officially an ordained minister by the Universal Church of Christ (or something like that). If it would make you feel better, I can bless you, forgive you of your sins and all from the comfort of my computer chair.
Anyway, accept my offer or not, but I do hope your living situation improves. I'm lucky enough to have never woken up to a flooded house, but I can imagine that it is one of the worst feelings in the world. Best of luck finding a new home.

[Purple Santa]

So Mags...did you survive the spider invasion? Mags? You there? :confused:

[nnanji]

How the hell else did she shit on you?

She had a dog that used to shit on my books. My books, man!

You're quite the bastard, you know that? :p

My room is already filled with spiders, but thanks for the warning.


nnanji - That's quite the story, thanks for sharing!

Now I am one of them! BLARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks for the kind words and feedback guys. I really appreciate it.

I went out to the living room/kitchen this morning, and it is nice and cold out there. It still smells damp and musty, probably because the air is so cold that it's hard to dry things out very quickly. I'll stay in my room where I am relatively safe. Besides, this is where all the games are. :D

You think you are safe in your room. Until the spiders start crawling through the walls...or some zombies fall through the hole in the ceiling...

Just think, tomorrow is work...it's all good then :p

Well then your spider infested aliens crawling through the ceiling should be looked at as an adventure. It's better than work and the evil sandwich that is there...
