Forgive me, but I cannot read that.
"Second year in a row when fasting during HOLY MONTH that we will be climbing this mountain! This is slow poisoning!"
Blackburn is 30% Muslim and, just based on what I have seen of the people in this building, a lot more than 30% of them are Muslim. I don't normally give a shit about religion in general, but these people feel like it's their duty to fast and this really is something that could be done to help them. Especially since I see parents carrying prams up the stairs.
Ah, that makes more sense than "farting during holy month"
My first read, I thought that was the source of the mentioned poisoning.
Thanks for the transcript.
In Australia there would be a legal requirement to have this fixed within a specified time. I wonder if there is a place to report this, since I suspect it likely contravenes several codes.
Unfortunately, I am subletting through VRBO (kind of like AirBnB) so this is not my fight, but I am pretty upset on behalf of the building's residents.
Some civilized countries have a process whereby partial rent can be legally withheld/deducted, incentivising them to fix it quickly. Less civilized countries require you to engage a lawyer and risk having your rental contract terminated unilaterally.
Racist countries (like Britain can very much be unfortunately) also don't give a shit what a building full of immigrants want.
In my state (tenant laws are good here) we could withhold rent (ideally in a seperate bank account) until key things are fixed like an elevator.
Get a lawyer and organize rent withholding for the entire building. That'll get them to fix the elevator right quick.
Second year in a row when farting during Holy month that we will be climbing this mountain! This is slow poisoning!!
Wat?
"Fasting." Blackburn is a city that is 30% Muslim and this building is far more than 30% Muslim based on who I've seen in it. They're complaining that they're making people, including the elderly, climb up multiple flights of stairs while they fast. And I sympathize despite being an atheist with no Muslims in my family.
*fasting
Fasting (for Ramadan)
Not sure about "slow poisoning"
I think it was some poorly-worded hyperbole. A lot of the people here are not native English speakers, so I'm guessing they were trying to poetically say "you're killing us!"
I thought "slow poisoning" said "sin posturing" and was very confused.
That's what I got as well. I had so many questions.
Man I once had that happen and I’m wheelchair bound. I had to move apartments after I realised how unresponsive they are to lift problems. When the lift breaks, it means I have to sleep on a friends couch!
That's horrible! I'm so sorry to hear that! I feel bad enough for the elderly women I see going up the stairs, but at least they can get to their flat!
Our apartment is in a building on a rise/hill. There's an elevator to take us up one floor from the street level lobby and 2 floors from the garage/basement/laundry. But at the other end of the building, there's an exit directly to the street, because of the hill. So when the elevator is broken it's an inconvenience to go around, but at least my husband can get in and out in his chair!
