Re: Life's Little Annoyances

[dethtoll]

I have a flight of steps on the outside of the house leading from my front door (which is on the side of the house, I live upstairs) down into the side yard. There's a particular step there that is a deathtrap in winter, due to the way water drips from a roof corner on to it. It freezes and is basically impossible to keep clear.

I slipped on it today.

Landed on my ass and slid all the way to the bottom. Fortunately the ass was fat so I was unharmed, just my dignity was damaged. But my pants were a wreck and had to go in the wash (eh, overdue for it anyway) and I've been in a shitty mood about it since. Especially since coming back upstairs after dinner I SLIPPED ON THE STEP AGAIN

Oh, and a more constant annoyance -- the intercom ringtone for the house phone handsets. It's different from the regular ringtone and is completely unchangable. That wouldn't be so bad if it weren't this horrible BWAWWWWNNNNNNNK sound. I swear I want to throw it every time it goes off.

I have a step like that too. I don't know who designed it so that the first step outside is right underneath the edge of the roof but whoever they are I blame them for making my knees even worse than they have to be.

Aw I am sorry! Can you get some road salt and salt it down? We have had several snowstorms and after one my mom slipped on the stairs and messed her shoulder up.

And I can't say I have heard an intercom ringtone, but most of those sounds are pretty annoying.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

Salt does no good because until the roof edge stops leaking, it's going to keep freezing over.

Re: Life's Little Annoyances

could you catch the leak in a bucket or something so the whole step doesn't get iced?

Glad you're okay. Stuff like that sucks. I once tripped on one of those cement parking stops and was lucky I didn't kill myself. Busted up my knee pretty bad.
