Let me tell you a story about my landlord's girlfriend.
The Apartment I live in is a duplex... a studio built into the side of an old house... My current landlord and his girlfriend have lived in the main house for about 3 or so years now, since buying it from my prior landlord. in that span of time, Linda has caused a few problems, and is still doing so. I have my computer and AC on one breaker at the house, which is also connected to the bathroom in the main house. *every* (and I mean *every*) two to three weeks, she forgets, and uses the hair dryer in the guest bathroom, killing my air conditioning, and snuffing my computer... actually drained my UPS to the point of needing a replacement. I've told her, and David has told her each time that's she can't, but her selfish, beer-addled brain seems unable to retain the knowledge. Since I can't move the computer or air conditioner... this is really the only alternative. I'm going to ask David tonight if he can disable the plug in the bathroom.
Time for some pavlovian therapy. I think if she receive a mild electric shock every time she was inconsiderate, hmm... no, that wouldn't work... she's be electrocuted from the stacking.

Landlord woes.....
My crazy landlords and I share a hot water heater, and every time I take a shower, they decide it's a good time to turn on the dishwasher or flush the toilet (in spite of the fact that my shower is RIGHT ABOVE their kitchen, so they KNOW when I'm in there). Grrrr. -AND- They enjoy parking in the middle of the driveway so I can't get out of the garage unless I make a special trip into their apartment to ask them to move. -AND- They've got 5 people living in their one-bedroom apartment, so they have no problem turning the heat off in mid-January...cuz all those warm bodies keep their place toasty warm, while I sit in my apartment and freeze!
Arghhhhh!
Only one more year to Graduation......
