YDI. It's bad karma. As soon as you leave, the power comes back on.

Do you know JFX??? Lol we goes to my school and that's what he says ALL the time and he says that his name is JFX

Who the hell is JFX?!

Please, just don't comment. Ever.

soo, you cant live in your own home without a light bulb?

OP should have just stuck it out overnight. Unless he has an unbearable phobia of the dark, I don't see why sleeping in it would be so terrible.

Blanket = heat, bottle = water, OP = pussy.

water works when the power is out.

#33 in Florida it doesn't

#33 On city water it often doesn't but if you're on well water, you usually lose it.

If its cold enough a blanket wouldn't really give you enough heat. It snowed where I live last night and its pretty cold here. If the power went out and we had no heat we wouldnt just be able to rely on a blanket. So maybe consider what kind of situation op is in.

@33 Stay at my house without power and try to get the water running. I said in SOME cases no power = no water. Maybe not where you live but maybe it is this way where OP lives.

I live in Florida. Water works with no power. Your sink does not use electricity.

2 years ago, there was a blizzard where I live and I lost power for a week. We had no heat, or water because we live out in the middle of nowhere and have well water. It was cold, and uncomfortable, but we survived.

I too live in a rural area where if we lose power, we also lose water because we're on a well. However, i can figure out how to survive without running water. The last thing I want to waste my hard earned money on is a motel room because I'm too big of a pussy to sleep in the dark and not have a glass of water on my night stand for a few hours.

I have slept in -12 centigrade and a blanket was sufficient. There's always the option of TWO blankets. And I should point out that OP lives in an APARTMENT, so he does not use well water. Unless Michigan (OP's state) has apartment blocks that use well water? I don't know, I've never been to Michigan.

#96 "Your sink does not use electricity. " Thanks Sherlock! The pump that pumps water the into my house does use electricity.

#96 "The sink does not use electricity. " Thanks Sherlock! But for your information the pump that pumps water into my house does use electricity.

Sorry tried to remove the first comment because I messed up

OP is in Michigan. It is NOT so cold here right now that a few blankets and warm clothes would be insufficient. Perhaps OP should invest in some candles or a lantern and a battery-operated heater. I can understand taking off if you KNOW it will be a while for the power to be back on. But if you can't last a whole whopping night without power, that's sad.

Water pumps do, though and if you have a well, you need a water pump

But then how could he plug in his night-light?

38, here on Sanibel it's constantly blacking out and we always have water...

I know what you mean... Seriously? Why go straight to a hotel? I had to spend 8 days without power when we had a really nasty hurricane pass through. It's not really that hard...

I can top all of that! One time I was taking a dump and my phone died. I had to go 6 minutes without it.

I spend over a week in winter with no power or anything while it snowed not that hard to live with it even though it sucks

Oh well, enjoy staying in a hotel... I love staying in hotels!! :-)

True, There's nothing quite like playing monopoly by candle light.. and if you start losing, burn the money!

Time to summon some ghosts

Or.. if you have a friend of the opposite sex, You cant go past candle lit strip poker ;-)

Playing "Clue" by the light of a Coleman lantern with my family was so fun. Stupid power companies are becoming too dependable. We haven't had an outage over a few minutes in years.

and watch doctor who....

#7- agreed!

I forgot what FML I.was on, i just saw the "the_tenth_doctor" and I wanted to comment on it. I now see how much of a dumbass I sounded

I don't think you can watch tv if there isn't any power...

I'm curious about this too. Just how long do you wait before you decide that its not coming back?

I'd prefer to stare into space than play a bored game (intended spelling)

Intended spelling, unintended thread? ;-)

I think I'd draw the line in assuming it wouldnt be coming back on anytime soon after a couple months or so..

maybe OP wanted to stay in routine.. like I know I always wind down with the TV on.

Sho Sho Sho.. 3an jad?

.

Nut do you know which 6 hours so you can at least plan your power usage around it? Or is it just random hours?

But do you at least get to know which 6 hours? Like a rolling blackout? Or is it random?

In Egypt it's random. (As far as I could tell.)
