Recent Household Problems

[-Psy-]

List all the things that have borked on you in the last month.

So far...

• The telephone line is now officially, worthless, unusable and you can't hear shit through it.
• The router died when upgrading it's firmware.
• The internet likes to cut out every 5 minutes for some reason.
• Windows sometimes reports a Application Error when trying to load up Steam or Worms Armageddon when I was using them 10 minutes before hand.
• The LCD TV has a odd, dark patch which is really noticeable at the bottom of the screen.
• The washing machine started leaking slightly.

My patience with you also broke.

• My PC can't play games without crashing to a BSOD every time; so it's ****ed and is being taken in on Friday

• The aerial from my phone is now sellotaped in place (it's a v550, old piece of shit I'll be on contract soon however)

• The BT home hub constantly has moments where it stops receiving data- I won't be able to browse any web pages, yet I can still talk to people on MSN.

Technology and I really don't get along, yet I'm off to Uni to study computing and music tech. :cheese:

bah! that's nothing ...lets see, this past weekend I had to demo my solarium/porch from my new house because the previous owners had built it without a permit and it wasnt to code..to make things worse part of the structure covered the hydro meter ...this was discovered during a surprise inspection that ended with my electrician being fined $5000 and an immediate power cutoff if we didnt take it down ..2 large disposal bins later and I now have a gaping hole where the porch used to be ..it'll probably cost upwards of 7-$10,000 to build something in it's place ...oh and this is after spending close to $30,000 on renovations to the house which are still ongoing

 

[Rapstah]

But Stern, now you have a hole! That's awesome! I bet you can do lots of stuff with that.

 

[CptStern]

ya back fill it with gravel so my kids dont fall in ..oh and it's about 6 inches deep

 

[Rapstah]

Make it six feet instead.

 

[CptStern]

so my house slides into it? good thinking!

 

[Rapstah]

I was thinking about being able to use your backyard as a cemetery, but nvm

Put some of that black stuff around it and build a pond!

 

[CptStern]

hmmm not a bad idea although I should extend it and make it into a moat

My internet died on Saturday, still isn't up. Good thing work has internets.

roaches are getting more dominate on the inside, so we laid roach traps...nothing. I still see 4ish every time I walk in there. Need to buy me some roach powder *DO THESE THINGS JUST FOLLOW ME?!*

Part of the roof is leaking over the porch. Not a big problem, since I won't have to pay to get it fixed. WOO for renting.

There is no food in the house to make, and we are all poor. BAH!

 

[mindless_moder]

you should really call an exterminator , we used to have a really bad roach problem and they just came in put a few blobs of gel here and there and we haven't seen them since(the roaches that is).

That's nothing, last week commies bombed my house.

4 weeks (ish) ago my custom built pc stopped working when I plugged in a external hd via usb. I opened up the case and noted to my horror I'd forgot to ground it. I went to grab my forehead with my hand when I knocked my coffee over my wireless keyboard...and then tried to use it! FFS!

/Salutes MB and wireless keyboard

Two weeks later my 360 gives me the RROD!

/Waits for MS to repair 360 (2 weeks and counting)

?sigh?

 

[Krynn72]

Ive had no problems. I win this thread.

Numbers, are you impersonating kirovman again?

Little update on the phone line.

I ring the landline using a mobile phone, answer the landline phone and all I can hear through the speaker is a ringing noise that's all distorted and the mobile phone is still ringing as well.

What the hell? D:
