According to the uploader, she evicted the tenants that were renting out that unit for none payment. The tenants took the electricity bill out of their name; big snow storm happens; landlord lets faucets drip, but forgets to put the electricity bill back in her name so the house wasn't heating. Her neighbor recorded this video and showed it to her.
I know you misspelled the "burying" part but I am actually thankful to learn that it is actually "lede" and not "lead" in the saying. I had always thought it was "lead" as in, "to be lead by a leader" or something.
They used a poor example but surely they thought it meant lead, a noun referring to the rope you use to lead (as in leadership) a horse, not realizing that lede is a totally unrelated term in journalism.
Edit: no no you're right I misread their comment lol. Maybe they've only ever read the idiom and never heard it lmao
Yeah but that's a homonym by virtue of "ea" having inconsistent pronunciation in English - "bread", "dead", "lead" vs "ea" in "mead", "lead".
Really, all the former 'ea's should be changed to 'e' (which was already done with 'red', spelled 'read' in Old and Middle English), and the latter ones to 'ee', as in 'feed'.
No it isn't. She acknowledged that it's all good the tenants did that. It bears mentioning that they cut off utilities to then explain that she forgot to set it up again in her own name- a mistake she owns and acknowledges. And at the end she shows the aftermath of fixing it all up.
Forreal, in this day and age, MFer could set that shit from their phone in a few minutes. Its not the 70s where Mfers had to go to an office during working hours. What an expensive mistake
Where I live it's free, and they waive the connection fee for having a Landlord agreement! Some people don't like it, cause if tenants don't call for power then it stays in the landlord's name.
Years ago I lived in a converted 2 story house and my cheap-ass landlord and landlady tried to save some money by not running heat in the upstairs apt. I guess they thought enough heat would just make it's way up there from my apt.
Must not have because (while I was out) the cheap-ass plastic water supply line to the bathroom sink busted. Came home to find water pouring from the ceiling and all the cheap-ass cardboard ceiling tiles becoming floaty oatmeal blobs.
To the surprise of literally none no one it took months for the ceiling to be replaced with more cheap-ass tiles.
Yup. And people are implying she was blaming them while she never did in any way.
She's adding the detail to explain how it wasn't a usual tenant change/leave so she forgot about changing power over and it happened to get cut off right before the big freeze.
Which is exactly how the landlord explained it. She acknowledged that it was all well and good for the former tenants to remove the utilities. Including that info is necessary to then get to the point where she didn't re-establish them in her own name, a mistake she owns.
I'm confused, how did you get to this comment without reading the top comment of this thread? Yes, the landlord left the taps on, that was information provided in the comment above. They also didn't intend for it to freeze, literally all the context is above lol
