I saw your post about your house vs repairman. My house is 84 years old, and last time I had the plumber out here, he was squinting at my shower innards and saying "this pipe looks like it's been at the bottom of a lake for 40 years."

😭😭😭😭😭😭old houses will just have any shit going on. half our plumbing was done by my grandpa & hes got pipes going through cabinets & shit. he had our decrepit dishwasher wired directly into the wall. theres only like 2 doors in the whole house that function correctly. got shit running off the counters bc nothings level. old timey ispy haunted house-ass keyholes. no insulation only cave crickets

#LMAOOO that is such a mood #my house was made in the early 1930s so it's all sorts of weird/fucked up #one of our breaker boxes is in the laundry room by the back door #ya know in a place where one might expect one to be #which means I feel like im being brouled sometimes although now that we have new AC it's a LOT better #the other is in the fucking hall closet because the house was not equipped to have much electricity so they emergency added another #we have clay pipes so randomly our bathroom sink doesn't drain right and our toilet intermittently will continuously fill to overflowing 😒#the floor in the kitchen is at angle so if you leave anything with wheels in the middle of the room it'll slowly roll and slam into the sink #we literally can't open some of the windows because they were painted shut and the last time we tried the handle almost broke off #my room was originally intended for storage I guess when it was built so for some reason it has the least amount of insulation #there just a crack in the bathroom wall too. don't know when it got there. but now it lives there lol #my bedroom door won't close unless firmly pressed it'll just pop open #old houses are wack. and if you add in the fact that this is my grandpa's house that he did a lot of work on #which lowkey is why it's fucky #it's just a different beast lmao #the old house smell is too notch though #god I fucked up the order of the tags and I don't know how to fix it now

have you ever had jury duty?

i don’t live in a country that has mandatory jury service

no, i’m ineligible (underage, not a citizen, etc)

no, i’m eligible but i’ve never been summoned

i’ve been summoned but the case was settled before the court date

i’ve been summoned but deferred to a date that hasn’t come yet

i’ve been summoned and went, but wasn’t selected as a juror

i’ve been summoned and went, but was sent home for another reason

yes, i’ve had jury duty before

Voting ended onSep 5, 2024

#I've been picked for jury duty 3 times but each time I wasn't needed :(#I wanna help goddamn it!!!!!!#I know there's people that'd rather break an arm than go to jury duty #but I'm excited! Frothing at the mouth! aaaaAA@AA #Law is so fascinating to me but law school would probably be too hard so this the most I can do let me do it let me do it let me do it let m

The "I just pretended I belong here and no one has noticed so far that I'm not supposed to be here" fics are hysterical to me. If someone pretended to be my cousin and showed up in my house they would absolutely get my inattentive ass.

Reblog if this would work on you (definitely would for me! I don't even know how many great aunts and uncles I have much less their names, except for the really atrocious ones like the guy who stole from the cemetery)

I forgot to elaborate on the Uncle who stole from the cemetery. For reference, he stole ground from the cemetery.

I don't mean he like, dug holes and took dirt out for gardening or witchcraft.

I mean that he took down the cemetery fence and reinstalled it further into the cemetery, and then he plowed and planted corn in his new extra space. Because he owned the field in the next plot over and he thought that space was going to waste without any corn in it.

And people weren't quite sure but wasn't the cemetery larger, before? It seemed that it was. Did the field next door get larger? Outrageous, you can't just casually ask someone if they moved the fence and planted corn in the cemetery property line if you're not certain, you'd sound nuts.

And by the time anyone confronted him about this, well... What are you going to do? Unplant the corn? Where's the property line? He certainly doesn't know. Is the volunteer cemetery board going to send out a surveyor?

My Uncle said there weren't any bodies there. Well. Technically he said, "no one was using that space anyway," and I want that to mean there were no bodies there. But who knows! Now no one, my Uncle has passed away and the crime rate is probably down quite a bit. I hope the organizations that were suing him throughout my childhood got whatever they needed back from his estate. That man could steal anything. He stole water by the bucket. I mean this literally. If it wasn't nailed down, it was going home with him. If it was nailed down, he had a claw hammer to take it and the nail home.

@bunjywunjy you leave this in the TAGS???

bunjywunjy

oh yeah, this is actually one of the tamer stories about my great-grandad. he stars in a LOT of family stories that got passed down- this is the same guy who ambushed the town drunk with a friend and buried him face-up a couple of feet deep in one of his fields with a stovepipe over his face so he could breathe, and just. left him there for 24 hours. they went back with shovels the next day and dug him back out, dude never drank again, supposedly

letslipthehounds

And now you left this in the tags! I think it provides some much-needed context.

Also, I wish I could have met your great-granddad too.

#I don't think I'd let someone who said they were a family member in my house because I'm paranoid #we'd definitely hang out outside though lol #I've got too many people to keep track of to remember everyone
