What Annoyed You Today?

Could be all summer.

Woken up at 07.30 this morning, with the noise of disc cutters and jack hammers, as the water company decided to dig up the road directly outside my house.
The road was marked with blue paint, indicating the dig area, around four weeks ago, and they decide to do the work over the Easter holiday.
The 'gang' have now departed, leaving a large hole, surrounded by plastic barriers - all of which are blocking the road, preventing an exit for my camper van !
Fortunately, I hadn't planned going anywhere this weekend, but it would have been nice to have been informed, so that I could have moved the van to allow access if i do decide to go out.
It'll now probably be a few days, at least, before someone comes back to do whatever work is required, and hopefully fill in the hole.

I hope it's not like street construction around here which usually takes months or in some cases years for what appears like relatively simple repairs.

The West Central England Anti-Destination League strikes again!!!!!

Dedicated to keeping people from getting to where they want to go in a timely and comfortable manor.

Here in the United States they go under the cover name of the Department of Transportation.

I shoveled 9 cubic yards of sand by hand last weekend and the body aches are just now going away

Well, Tuesday ended up with a spectacular finish:
I was served a 60-day eviction notice.

Nevermind that I have always paid my rent early for the last 24 years, or that I have never had an issue with my neighbors or anything that violates my terms...I am being evicted so the property management can "renovate" my place in order to get increased income. Example, one of the vacated units was renting for $750/month and is now going for $1,050/month.
And this all came about after the Carr Fire tore into my town, creating a housing shortage with the nearly 2,000 displaced rsidents.

Not really happy about this...at all

 

[Airframes]

Heck !
I hope you can get it sorted to your satisfaction. Not a good situation at all !

 

[fubar57]

Sorry to hear about that Dave

 

[GrauGeist]

Thanks guys...it's just a real crappy situation all around with no real good outcome.

These past six years have just been nothing but a soul-draining episode

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Sorry to hear this my friend. Hoping things look up for you soon.

Kickem' in the googlies!!!!!!

Have you thought about offering 100 a month increase in exchange for no renovation costs for your unit?

 

[GrauGeist]

Thanks - I know things could be worse, but then again, things have been worse for quite a while and "better" would be very welcome right about now. Sort of like hoping for some rain after a long drought, you know?

Don't think that it hasn't crossed my mind...

Wouldn't do any good.
They started this "renovation" after the Carr Fire purely with the intention of gouging - some of the eviction notices went out while the hills were still burning.
All the tennants in my building were long-time renters and several of the units that saw the occupants evicted are ready to rent for $1,050 a month, up from $750 a month.

Legalized thievery at it's best.

All we can hope is the new tenants leave as soon as their houses are built , leaving the owners with empty high priced units.

Getting old, I think I made it, I'm officially old!
