I Need to Rant

So... my roommate [i]THINKS[/i] that the heater isn't working so she just turnt off the whole system. Ill let you know its like -3 degree F outside. Im not sure how to turn it back on because this is a pretty old system we have here. Or why she turnt the entire thing off. Even if it wasn't working properly something is better than nothing. But she hasn't really left the apartment in three days so I don't think she understands truly how cold it is outside. But now its freezing in my apartment. What is up with all the people I live around馃槗 I mean the heating systems takes breaks. It doesn't run forever! So you just turn it off because the aprtment dropped a few degrees?!? Im gonna freeze to death馃樀
I can't wait until my lease ends...馃槕

The number of people, especially females, that don't understand basic mechanical things is truly shocking.

I bought a better space heater in my room because my gf kept complaining that the other one didn't turn on enough, which was sometimes true even though the other one was a good $50 model.

So I upgraded to a better version of it with a digital display that specifically states that it turns the heater on low power every 3-5 minutes for 30-60 seconds to help maintain whatever temp you set it at.. now the room is at least 4-5 degree's warmer than it was before all the time and she's still saying the heater doesn't work and that it's cold in here.

I said ok, well I'll just go and put the old heater back on them since all you do is complain that the new one doesn't work. She was like "NO, don't do that". I said why, if it's not working then it shouldn't matter. So then she admits it IS warmer and better than the other one but that she's still cold. I said well when the other one got to 73 degree's you complained it was too hot, now this one keeps the room at 74+ and it's still too cold??

WTF. Never satisfied and no understanding of how things work. I finally said that it's YOU that is cold and nothing wrong with the house heat or the space heater so just get an extra blanket or put on another shirt.. wtf.
Hahaha, wow, thats something to deal with! No one can ever be satified馃槓

@Lacrimosa: Yea.. then she wonders why I lose my patience with her as she does this with dozens of other things too, though I digress
@guruman: hahaha, Stay strong馃挭

Can't you try to turn the thing on...? Maybe google it ("how to turn on old heating" may shed some light...) Poor thing 馃槦
@wyndwhisper: I don't know why I didn't think of googling first, hahaha. I just don't want to gas up our apartment if it really is broken. So I either freeze of possibly get poisoned by gas馃樀
But ill google it first! good Idea!馃
