Ice

Most of these stories are not in any kind of order. This is because there is a large backlog of them, and it doesn't really matter anyway.

Recently, our fridge/freezer broke: it started dribbling water out of the front, so there was a fairly significant puddle every morning. We asked the landlord to come and repair it, which he did.

I arrived back home after a run to find all our frozen food scattered around the floor (it apparently hadn't occurred to him to attempt to keep it cold, or even on a clean surface), and the freezer in pieces. After a further thirty minutes or so, the repair was complete, and he began reassembling everything, and putting our (now defrosted) food back inside. The problem appeared to be fixed --- all great.

Recently however, we noticed that the ice maker appears to be broken: insofar as it no longer senses when the box is full. Presumably he didn't put it back together properly after his previous repair. Upon showing this to the landlord, his only response was to tell us we needed to "drink more things with ice in!", before walking off.

Great.
