Fire Dept. --VENT

garnetandgold60

No, this isn't a vent about the fire department; they are actually very lovely men who do their jobs well. My vent is that is 2:15 in the FUCKING morning and I'm worken up by four men busting into my apartment's bedroom asking if I know the man passed out on my couch.

Backstory: we went to the US vs Nigeria soccer game and tailgated and had fun. Awesome time. When we came home we had friends over to drink some more instead of going out (typical no worries...). I went to bed early (because even at 23 I am still "that old"). Well, apparently during the continued drinking that my DH and his three friends were doing, one of them puked in the fucking SINK and then LEFT THE WATER RUNNING!!!!

So, the downstairs neighbors are flooded apparently and they called the fire department who found the water turnoff, found out we were the problem, gave my "passed out on the couch" DH a field test to make sure we was okay (blood pressure etc) and woke me up (one funny moment of the night was as I woke up one of the gentleman goes: "God I thought Dan was a heavy sleeper but you win hands down!"

DH doesn't remember who puked (as he's still pretty inebriated) but let me just say when I find out who it is (I know ALL his buddies who were over) they are NEVER allowed back to our apartment. They lost that allowance as soon as their 24 year old self decided to act like a damn highschooler and puke in our sink, not clean it up, and leave the water running so it flooded our downstairs neighbors.

Guess what, actions have consequences asshats...you aren't coming back to my place, and if we have to replace any damages done it's not coming out of my wallet buddy. Hell no.

I'm now too angry and worked up to sleep again, but thankfully husband is okay and has had some water and Advil and is sleeping in bed (no snark in previous sentence, I promise...I'm glad he's okay even if his friends are douchecanoes). Thanks for keeping reading through my damn novel, I just needed to vent and nowhere else to do it. I feel calmer now...but still on the warpath with whomever the puking imbecile is...

Well, I'm sure this story will be funny....well, never?  Except maybe to the asshats that were involved...so sorry!  What a way to wake up!

It'll be more funny eventually I'm sure...especially because DH was naked on the couch (we usually sleep nude...TMI? But I fell asleep with pjs on thankfully).

mrsmorales2be

Well, that does up the ante on the funny factor, I suppose!  Yeah, that would have been a rude awakening!

Yikes! Well at least the fire guys were nice?

I don't think the puking in the sink/possible damage to downstairs apartment bit will ever be funny, but the firemen busting in might become a funny story eventually? The DH naked on the couch when they busted in definitely will be, but I think it's going to take some time.

Sorry you had to go through that.

Well it's morning and it hasn't gotten any funnier yet. DH is so hungover he's puking and shivering and I feel awful for him (been there done that...we both just graduated college). But, I'm still massively pissed at his friend.

When we figure out which one it was, I was planning on having them pay for any damages, fines, etc. that we may get from the apartment complex/neighbors/fire department. Or is that too harsh? I need perspective from a non-crazy person cuz I'm still on the warpath and am feeling a little vindictive.

I think the "you sleep so heavily you didn't hear four firemen get into your apartment" will be funny. But for now I'm taking care of DH, getting him back to okay.

Honestly, I would be royally pissed at DH.  It's his responsibility to control guests he brings into the house.  And can you be really sure it wasn't DH who puked in the sink?

If you actually figure out that it was one of the friends, no, it's not too harsh to expect him to pay the damages.  In fact, if the friend didn't immediately offer to pay the damages, I'd question my relationship with this friend.

Were the firemen at least fun to look at lol

Ditto JCbride2015 - Maybe your fi will remember that he puked in the sink or turned the water on. They were stinking drunk so who knows who did what. But yeah, if you find out who left the water running, they should pay for the damage. If they don't, it's going to be your responsibility. The two of you should have been in control of what was going on in his home.

 I'd be royally pissed. I'd definitely be upset at the fact that they left the water running, and flooded the downstairs apartment. Embarrassed too. I'd be tenfold more furious that one of them puked in my sink, & then proceeded to NOT clean it up. Who pukes in a sink?? I'd be just as upset at your FI, as his friends. If you want to bring people into our house, you need to oversee that nothing happens. If you're too inebriated to do this, you're probably not mature enough to be drinking, as you have *no* control of your alcohol limits, and clearly should not be having friends over. End of story. 

 I'm sorry you had to go through this. The firemen part will eventually be funny, but I highly doubt the rest ever will.

Wow. I'd be insanely pissed. Seriously, that's how grown men behave?? 

If someone owns up to it, I'd make them pay. But as a PP pointed out, how can you be sure who exactly it was?

I hope you have renter's insurance!

Honestly, whatever fines you have to pay it it way way worse for your downstairs neighbors who were minding their own business and had their place flooded. Hope you are groveling to them a little bit. And if you don't know who it is, how do you know its not your husband? He is the one who also brought them all back to your place. I would be furious with him.
