Miscellaneous: Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without...

By Ants everywhere but my pants - 19/05/2016 02:35 - United States - Sun City Center

Today, I left the windows open because I live in Florida without air conditioning because the asshole landlord won't fix it. There was nice cool air from the rain. I've killed about 100 flying ants that have made their way inside. Now I have a hot house with closed windows and flying ants. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I was going to set up my air conditioner in the window. As I opened up the window, I must have disturbed a wasp nest, because a dozen wasps flew in and several of them stung me. The rest are now somewhere in my house with my terrified girlfriend. FML

Bugged

By Anonymous - 11/06/2023 03:00 - Germany - Undeloh

Today, I hate having bugs in the house so I covered all doors and windows in fly screen. This prevents 80% of the bugs from finding their way inside, and 100% of those from finding their way back out. FML

Today, my AC stopped working. It's currently 3:08AM and I have 2 fans running, a cold washcloth on my neck, and a window open. It's still hot as hell. Thanks, Florida. FML

Southern states be like

By F*ckinghot - 19/06/2024 17:00 - United States

Today, as I have my entire life, I live in the south. However, our AC decided to break and now it's 91 degrees inside the house, even with fans on and the windows open. FML

Today, I opened a window that had been shut for a couple of months. As soon as I did, dozens of tiny baby spiders blew in with the breeze, and dispersed in my kitchen. FML

The irony stings

By Anonymous - 08/05/2009 02:07 - United States

Today, I was driving home, it was 80 degrees out. Making a rare attempt to be eco-friendly, I turned off the A/C and lowered the windows. A bee then flew in through the window, hit my cheek, and stung me. That's what I get for attempting to be eco-friendly. FML

Working conditions

Today, I'm sitting in a disgustingly hot office with all the windows thrown open. There is no fan, and the owner won't let us use the air conditioner. The smell of mold permeates the room from the ceiling, giving me headaches by the end of the day. The owner refuses to get someone in to clean it. I can't quit. FML

Today, I turned on my A/C for the first time in a couple of months. A family of ginormous cockroaches climbed out of the air vent and a few clumps of dead cockroaches fell to the ground. FML

No good deed…

By oops - 04/12/2009 17:23 - United States

Today, I saw a moth trapped in a spider web. Feeling gracious, I gently freed it, and then took it to the window to let it out. When I opened the window to set him free, my $300 air conditioner fell two stories and smashed on the sidewalk. The moth flew away. FML

Spoiled for choice

Today, my bedroom in my gran's house gets the most sun in the evenings. There is no AC, not even a fan, and the only place cool enough to sleep is the basement. Which probably hasn’t been cleaned since the '80s, and I have to share it with the biggest spider ever and a beehive in the roller shutter casing. FML

Invest in a window screen. Just because the landowner won't improve your quality of living doesn't mean you're bound to his whims :)

There's only one thing you can do now. And it involves fire... a lot of it

In Florida, AC or some other solutionis legally mandated in your lease. By state law he has to either give you a window unit or screens for every window and some box fans.

Invest in a portable air conditioner :) hell I wouldn't put up with flying ants, I'd grab some thin cloth and duct tape that over the window. Bwuahaha

I absolutely feel your pain on this one. I had an infestation of those nasties last year. Accidentally left the window with a ripped screen open, came back into the room an hour later and walked through a cloud of them. They're gross and I hate them. D:<

Fix the a/c unit yourself, then hand him the receipt and deduct it from Your rent, if he has t fixed it then you can.

If you get a fan, get a Vornado. I sure did, and I love it! My building doesn't even HAVE AC. Or central air, for that matter. Though I did know that going in...but I digress. Vornado fans work wonders for circulating air. Point it at a corner near the ceiling, turn it on, and even at low power it can cool down an entire studio apartment by itself!

Flying ants = termites. I strongly suggest you find a new place to live and leave your landlord to deal with that. Things are about to get a lot more expensive for him.

Both ant and termite colonies produce winged queens and workers when they're ready to reproduce.
