Hot Water

I'm about ready to shoot someone in the head.  Have you ever heard the expression "in hot water?"  Meaning that you are in trouble, or will be soon?  Well, right now, the managers at my apartment building are in very hot water with me.  First, this place is way too expensive.  I'm only living here for half a semester, but I'm paying the price that a full semester would cost me anywhere else.  Second, there are no fans in the bathrooms, or windows that open.  If you're going to charge someone an outlandish amount of money to live here, then at least have windows that open.  I don't know about you, but that seems like a huge fire hazard to me.  And they are going to grow mold very quickly without fans in the bathroom.  Third: The fire alarm goes off twice a week.  And each time, the managers send out an e-mail after the fact, stating that it was just a test.  Uh-huh... really likely.  At this rate, if the building ever really does catch on fire, none of us will evacuate because we're so sick of it.  And then we will all die.  Fourth:  We have run out of hot water for the third time this month (month meaning the last thirty days).  It's a college apartment, so utilities are included in the rent.  If I'm paying for hot water, I think I should be receiving hot water.  

Vent over.  Please resume your otherwise fulfilling internet browsing.
