Pregnancy tests? I can't think of a good reason they would be locked up.

Because people would steal rather than face the embarrassment of taking them to the counter.

Now that makes sense.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My bathroom ceiling is caving in!!!!!

Holy ass. SO SCARY. I was in the shower when water started dripping on me from the ceiling. I looked up, and it was bloated like a balloon expanding. I still have conditioner in my hair, I think.

Aiieee! This is the bathroom in the place you are moving out of though, right? You're not in the new place yet?

Glad you're ok Allyson. That doesn't sound good.

Yikes Allyson. You should check to see if your neighbors have a leaking shower and aren't aware of it. But, hey, didn't you have this problem before?

My coffee was free at Starbucks this morning because it's Earth Day and I had my own mug.

Ugh. Yeah, four more days of this place before I move.

I'm just SO MAD.

Oh man. A friend here had that happen. Except it did fall on her (and her cat.) Old building so it was craploads of plaster too.

I would be so grossed out.

The status is NOT quo.

I had the wall of a hotel room fall on me once. There had been a flood upstairs, apparently. Huge chunk o'plaster, three feet across, WHOMP on top of me, my luggage, and everything else. When I called down to complain, the front desk had to audacity to tell me that they couldn't help me right away, but couldn't I just "kick it to the side for now?" Um. No. Got a room upgrade that night, yessiree.

This was in Ann Arbor. I've had a grudge against that city ever since.
