Imagine being drunk as shit and instead of going to the toilet you just move the mattress aside and go just straight shitting diarrhea down into your bathtub.

My car was stolen earlier and yet this is the worst thing to happen to me today. I hate it.

[-] Hank@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Aw man, what kind of car? Hyundai?

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 19 points 1 year ago

Seat Leon. 18 months old. FML.

[-] Hank@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

Damn that's a sweet car, my condolences. A friend of mines Octavia RS got stolen a couple months ago.

I know this is an old comment, but what happened with the car? Did insurance pay for it?

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

My partner went all “Burt Macklin, FBI” and paid £60 to activate the Seat app. You can honk the horn remotely from the app so Burt Macklin kept doing it at night to piss the thieves off. It just so happened that they hadn’t turned the GPS off when the car turned on we could track it. It was taken to a super dodgy estate of car garages about 10 mins away from us. We called the police and told them exactly where our car was - we weren’t overly impressed by the police response at this point so my partner caught an Uber down to meet the police (who were just wondering around aimlessly). My partner showed them the app, showed them the map and then honked the horn for them, where it beeped from the other side of the shutter. Then the police got a warrant, the garage owner came down, opened up and cooperated. He “had no idea” it was stolen, despite the clearly visible tape stuck on the number plate to alter the registration. He wasn’t arrested but I assume he’ll be charged with handling stolen goods if he doesn’t give up the name of the person who brought it to him. He handed over the keys and the police took it in for forensics to be done on the tape. They finished with it yesterday. Tomorrow the insurance are collecting it and changing the locks and replacing the keys. Then we’ll get it back!

The funniest part of the whole thing is what it was doing in the garage… literally 3 months after I got it I stupidly scraped the rear passenger side. It’s a motability car (I swap my disability benefits for a car on this scheme, a bit like a lease) and that damage would have meant I didn’t get the “good condition bonus” of £350 when I get my next car in 18 months. The thieves had bought it in to get the scratches fixed and the garage owner had started the job. The insurance will fix the damage when they replace the locks, all covered by the £100 excess I paid for the cover car! It was still a massive ball ache, and they stole other stuff from the car, but it could have been a lot worse!

Seems like my asking was in perfect timing. What a roller coaster! Glad you are getting your car back.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

It was weird timing. And thank you!

I don’t know why, but you assuming it was a Hyundai fuckin cracked me up haha

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 year ago

You know you don't have to say everything you think, right?

[-] brainschaden@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I bow to you words of wisdom or experience. I don't know yet.

Pissing into a plastic bag, throwing it in the shower like a water balloon.

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

You've got that special something

The beyond being mould, I presume.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

Don’t forget mildew and wood rot!

[-] AnAngryAlpaca@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

And you get to sleep in moist blankets...

[-] LordOfTheChia@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Moistness wouldn't be my only concern. I hope they put the toilet lid down before flushing everery time...

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago

In Germany we call it Wohnklo (live-in loo). Used to be a joke but I guess these days it's just reality.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

And we thought the double-decker couch was a monstrosity.

[-] darq@kbin.social 21 points 1 year ago

Like a London sublet for £500 a month in Zone 3.

[-] Beelzebubba@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago
[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 11 points 1 year ago

It’s the way the London Underground is split up, in kinda circles from the centre point. Zone 1 is a fairly small area of central London, zone 2 is a little further out etc. Zone 3 is the closest most people could possibly afford to live. My sister lives in zone 5 and works in Westminster. It’s about a 45 min commute on the tube.

[-] darq@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Hey that's not too bad! I was in Zone 3 with a roughly 60 min commute, including walking times to and from the station. Actual train time was probably 35 minutes on the Central line.

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, she’s lucky there’s a fast train that cuts travel time right down. And she can almost see the station from her flat.

[-] overzeetop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

$2500/month in Manhattan, opening bid. 2 months up front plus last month plus 2 months as security deposit. Must show 4x rent as minimum income.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

For £500 that's a shared bathroom.

[-] darq@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Ain't that the sad truth.

[-] Frenchy@aussie.zone 16 points 1 year ago

Someone please tell me that shelving unit isn’t structural.

[-] SomeoneElse@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

It looks pretty damn structural 💀

[-] cobra89@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like the bed has a leg behind it fortunately. I totally had the same thought at first though.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like a gap between the top of it and the bed and a post behind it, so I don't think it is.

[-] pglpm 13 points 1 year ago

I can't stop imagining a TV screen beside the shower, just outside the photo...

[-] SomeoneElseMod@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Some family friends of ours have a built in bathroom tv. It’s actually pretty cool!

[-] orbitz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Heh that was in the man's bathroom in a home improvement episode, before smartphones that was the dream..so you didn't have to read shampoo bottles or remember your Mad magazine.

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Mount a TV to the wall, get a hot plate and a mini fridge and you’re good to go!

[-] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

It's not practical, but it does look cozy.

[-] HowShouldIKnow@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago
[-] Hupf@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

A water slide, if you will

[-] rothaine@beehaw.org 6 points 1 year ago

$2200/mo. First, last, and security deposit required

[-] wildtamaskan@yiffit.net 3 points 1 year ago

What if... what if we slept on the bathroom loft together? 👉👈🥺

[-] Thedogspaw@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

This isn't what I meant when I said I wanted to live near bed bath and beyond

[-] Sensitivezombie@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

That's some fancy ass jail cell

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 1 year ago

When you're in the tub and it starts raining on you because your roommate peed the bed.
