Title: Common things your household lacks
Post by: strongbad on August 02, 2010, 01:09:09 PM
FUCKING CALLER ID
There are so many phone calls that I would not answer if I had caller ID. I would like to have it.

Post by: Patrick Stickles on August 02, 2010, 02:50:31 PM
i dont have caller id so i just dont pick up the phone, usually its never anyone important anyway

my house has a laundry chute, most houses dont have one of those, which is kinda opposite
Title: Re: Common things your household lacks

i would definitely slide down the laundry chute at least once a day if we had one.

I mean its not big enough for people and its like entirely vertical, so its not much different from having a hole in your floor that goes right to the basement except its cramped.

Oh yeah, my house doesn't have a garage either. The people who lived here before my family moved in apparently converted it to an additional personal room, albeit rather large and not cooled very well by AC. We tend to use that room to store junk and keep some pets in. Cars are just left outside on the driveway.

Basements don't really exist in Florida as far as I know. Being close to water level and stuff.

If the house is too hot, then the only thing to do is go somewhere else
I've never been to a LAN party but I assume they're in regular rooms
Laundry rooms tend to be next to garages. Mine is in an open area just past the kitchen. Water heater is in the same area and I don't think we have a dedicated furnace.
Though many people have an extra room they use for work, my house is relatively small and we just use personal rooms or the living/dining rooms for work sort of stuff.

You really use basements for all that? doodhuh;

Post by: Boogus Epirus Aurelius on August 02, 2010, 09:33:12 PM
My apartment's pretty bare bones. I didn't grow up with a dishwasher, so when I found out my place had one, I was all stoked. Doesn't work though.

I dont have cable or anything either, so the tv rarely goes on unless I'm watching local news or if I need some background noise.

Speaking of laundry chutes, my best childhood friend had one and we'd throw toys and shit down there all the time. The entrances were also wide enough for us to fit inside, so we'd slide down the motherfucker and get out on the floor below or something.

Not only do we have a laundry chute, we have a fucking COAL CHUTE and a frickin' COAL ROOM. Yeah, suck it.

Other intersting things: Two staircases (for five sets of stairs in total), a steam boiler, asbestos, real plaster, ye olde radiators that need to be bled every time thr boiler turns on and off), 3 fireplaces, lines for gas lamps (the lamps are all gone though).

Things we don't have:
Air conditioning
Water softener ( I had never even heard of one before I went to a school in the suburbs, and no one there had ever heard of not having one)
Garbage disposal

I didn't think people actually had laundry chutes. I thought they just put those in the houses in the movies. What's up with that?

Anyway ever since I moved I don't have a dishwasher, washer, or dryer. We also only have one television and it's a CRT. We do have a smaller one but nobody uses it ever. My back yard is tiny and I don't have a front yard. I guess technically this house doesn't have a basement or an attic, but it's three floors and the bottom one is halfway below ground. There's also a ladder to the roof.

Also, at my old house my basement was pretty much unusable anyway. It was all old and dark and creepy and I couldn't stand being down there. The two houses I lived in before that (when I was little) were both split level, and the one before that (when I was an infant) had a basement, but I was an infant so I guess it doesn't count.

That said, this house has a stoop. So that's pretty cool. There's also a room towards the back that, while fully enclosed, is pretty much separate from the rest of the house that's nice to sit in when it's warm out.

A Weimaraner is about 27 inches high when on four legs, so it can easily elevate


"These dogs are not as sociable towards strangers as other hunting dogs such as Labradors and Golden Retrievers. Weimaraners are very protective of their family and can be very territorial. They can be aloof to strangers, and must be thoroughly socialized when young to prevent aggression."

I never really have to deal with dogs when I work, because I tell most of my clients that I don't like dogs and then they hide them somewhere while I work.
[spoiler]Terrible Dog at work story- But this one time, I had to do this video job at some golf party or whatever. One of the party attendants was going to give me a ride there and she had to giant dogs in her SUV when she came to pick me up. The whole hour long dive, the two dogs barked constantly, and sometimes directly into my ear because they where sitting in the two seats behind us. It probably traumatized me and made me hate dogs more.[/spoiler]
