"He's also a landlord for another property and knows that you need to keep heat on at least 60 to be legal and up to code."

There is nothing like a feud between roommates over apartment temperature. No matter what stage of life you're in, you may very well find yourself living with someone who has a very different conception of appropriate inside temperature than you do. For instance, I am someone who needs a strong A/C on at night, and this proves to be an issue whenever I have to stay with my parents. This is primarily because my mother is petrified of breaking the A/C, so she copes by never using it even if there…

Things can get a little heated with the upstairs neighbor...

Two words: Polar. Vortex.

One mom came to regret her phrasing when talking to her kid. On a snowy day, when you've been outside in the freezing cold , coming inside to warm up is a wonderful feeling. Whether it's sipping on a bowl of soup or holding a warm mug of tea, that feeling of getting warmth back into your shivering body is very much needed. Some people even put blankets in the dryer for a few minutes so that they're toasty warm. This sounds like pure luxury---what a cozy feeling that must be. This is especially…

Old buildings have terrible water pipes. No matter where you live or how swanky your neighborhood may be, if it's old, you're doomed to icy/hot showers that fluctuate based on which toilet is being flushed and which sink is running.

Always be kind to your mechanics!

One neighbor got so fed up with parking issues that he took a strategic approach that no one would ever forget. This person wrote that the story took place around 20 years ago, at a time when he lived in an apartment building with parking space for 16 cars. However, the OP, u/BrightRick, noticed that all of the sudden random strangers were taking up all this parking. The OP tried to get these cars moved through all the usual channels. They talked with police, who said there was nothing to be do…

This workplace definitely needs some lessons on decorum. Originally written in r/TIFU, this OOP shared an embarrassing story that made him feel ashamed of the way he dressed. However, after about a month, the OOP wrote in an update with a pretty satisfying ending. After working with underprivileged clients, you would think the OOP's coworker would know how to act in a kind and respectful manner towards her clientele. But some people view other folks as beneath them, just because they've fallen…
