I'm wasting water to stick it to the ✡︎ slumlord who owns the place i live in.
I recently realized I don't pay anything for *cold* water - only the gas bill for *heating* the water in the place I'm renting. the ✡︎ slumlords who own this complex (and ***85+ other multi-family residences*** in Los Angeles county alone) don't have individual metering for the units here (because they're cheap and lazy, of course... ffs, we have no AC, piss-poor insulation, no double-pane windows, rats living in the walls/ceilings, and a few of my neighbors have had their ceiling cave in after a rainstorm (and in LA, the storms are wimpy af)).
So, as a result, and considering they've already raised my rent twice (about $200+) in the past 2 years, I've regularly started *accidentally* "forgetting" to turn the tap off, allowing the cold water to run for hours at a time.
Yeah, maybe it's not ethically the best way to fight back against the wealthy, evil goyfarmers who own us and milk us into an early grave. It's just one of the only ways I've found so far. 🤷♂️
