They finally told all of us to back out so they could take care of this. Not sure how he missed the turn. Good news is he seemed fine.

I live in an old house and occasionally get mice and one day I left my work lunch bag a little open and one got in so I cleaned it out completely then closed it the next day (today) I opened it to get a snack and noticed stuff was chewed and didn’t see any holes were he got it and then I saw something move, he was living in there.

Heavy downpour in Toronto - buildings pipes burst. Shit everywhere.

Car smells bad but is mostly okay aside from an auto engaging parking break.

By the way, my camera lightened up the photos. It's actually very dark in my neighborhood. Photo 1: Our dark house inside. Photo 2: The people that still have power. Photo 3: The other side that's fully dark, but has a tiny bit of light. Photos 4 & 5: The street we live on that's out still.

The bottom shelf of the fridge shattered when I placed it in the warm sink 😭 And of COURSE a bunch of shards went in the garbage disposal 😭😭

Edit: this was a rental apartment and the leasing manager told me to put a maintenance request in. It seems to have been fixed now. Thanks for the suggestions but that will be that on that for me, I’m not handy enough and have too little patience lol

I just opened this glass where I'd stored my muesli. Three cute little food moths escapted singing "freeeedommm" before I had the time to realize the glass was in fact full of them (also a lot of dead one; I was on holiday for some time...).
What a great way to start the day! And of course, I only caught one of them after they flew away...

Wasn’t around any other cars, heard a small explosion and then shattered glass rattling around above my head. Just glad I had it closed…

What made it worse, is that the company that owns the storage shed saw this mess, assumed that we had “secretly moved out” (although we were still paying them monthly) when it was clearly ransacked with proof of forced entry and tried to fine us a $200 cleaning fee.

They didn’t let us know until close to closing at the end of the month, so my husband went straight there and they didn’t want to let him in because “entry was only for paying customers”. My husband pointed out that he had paid for that month already and they STILL didn’t want to let him in. He had to call the police and at least they are taking it seriously.

I’m grateful that they still have some of what is pictured above in the dumpster that we are about to go retrieve, however I’m gutted that at least $1000 worth of books and way more importantly, the spice jars my dad made for me (he died this June). I’m beyond gutted and frustrated that the company didn’t even contact us to say “hey you have x amount of time to get your stuff before we get a cleaning crew to do it for you” or even used the common sense needed to say hey, this doesn’t look right. It was just handled so poorly and I really hope I at least get the jars back some way somehow.

Small update: they notified us yesterday that we have until TOMORROW to pick up what is pictured above from the dump before they get someone to take it out. My husband went immediately but couldn’t get everything because a lot of it was trapped underneath steel bed frames. Of course they didn’t offer to help in the mess they created, I shouldn’t be surprised. No luck on the investigation so far but I was told it takes time.

To anyone saying lawyer up, I agree. I know that things get broken into, stuff happens. But how the company handled it SHOULD NOT happen.

UPDATE: we dove in the dumpster to find our stuff and found our lock that is clearly cut through that the company said didn’t exist because it “wasn’t a break in”. These people are real idiots. We unfortunately did not find my dad’s jars or my books but I’m going to pawn shops tomorrow.

I was eating a gummy worm and suddenly there's this hard bit happening in there. Sure enough, a chunk of my tooth about this size is visibly absent. I have a dentist appointment next week to replace a loosening filling; I don't know if that's what this is or something else. Either way, it looks like I'm burning some PTO soon.

Is this a roach or a bedbug? No I am not using it, but I just want to know what the hell crawled its way in here

I was gifted this table and rug 4 days ago for my birthday since I’ve just started over and moved into my own house with basically nothing. I just got done walking her outside, before having time to unhook her leash she came running in crazy style and knocked everything off the coffee table. Somehow the candle splattered everywhere and the full cup of water I had up there puddled the floor. 2nd picture was after scraping my table with a plastic card and realizing it hadn’t completely hardened yet so I was essentially smearing it making a bigger mess. 🙃 It was an absolute disaster and pretty much sums up the few weeks I’ve been having. Worst part is that this was the best night I’ve had in a while right up until this moment.

Anyway, looks like I’m off to buy an iron tomorrow to get my rug hopefully clean. (I scraped what I could off before I took the 3rd photo) Lots of scraping in my future. I think I may never light a candle again

Any life saving advice would be appreciated. I’m pretty bummed this happened.

I live in London and this concert was in Bristol. Booked a hotel and everything. I am literally posting this from the train I am taking to go to Bristol for the concert.

ETA: It looks like Ellie Goulding is in Venice right now, probably for the film festival. Wish the concert would've been cancelled with more than a single DAY's notice if she was going to go attend an event in an entirely different country. I could've saved so much money on the hotel and travel expenses. 😒
