Me: “Sorry to bother you but I’m having trouble with my air conditioner.”
Landlord: “What’s the trouble?”
Me: “Well, I tried to turn it on today but it’s emitting this obnoxious smell that’s making me nauscious and doesn’t seem to be putting out any cool air.”
L: “Did you turn it on correctly?”
Me: “There’s only an on/off button. I pressed ‘on’.”
L: “No no. Didn’t you use the remote?”
Me: “The remote only has an on/off button too. Again, I pressed ‘on’.”
L: “That unit’s less than a year old. I can’t imagine anything is wrong with it. I’ll send someone out to show you how to turn it on.”
As she’s going on about my ineptness in starting an air conditioner, I decide to try it one more time. When I press the “complicated” power button again, the unit literally has a small internal explosion and nearly sets my coffee pot on fire.
Me: “umm… So, when can you have someone out to look at it?”

Seriously?!?
Jami, if you’d open your windows instead of using the AC, you wouldn’t have these problems. You expect too much.
Hey what are you doing with a coffee pot anyway? didnt you like give that shit up? huh? huh?
I gave up coffee past 10am. Didn’t you read the fine print, Tina?
Well excuse the hell out of me,Jami!
Tina, see list of rules, subpart B, articles 1-3 and ammendments 3a and 6c for the fine print regarding Jami’s coffee consumption hours.
