Potentially, more unpleasantness

I think the roommates are sufficiently convinced that I'm not to blame for their computer troubles. That's the good news. The bad news is, the bathtub drain has been almost competely stopped for several days now, the toilet has been making ominous gurgling noises--and the washing machine just now overflowed er somethin. While I was using it, mind you. I fear this will be a case of "unhappiness will be directed at me whether or not I can reasonably be blamed, just because I was in the vicinity and because they're still residually unhappy over the last crisis."

And I was just gonna post about how great the previous couple of days were. Feh.

That sounds like something wrong with the main pipes, the "call the landlord" kind -- soon. Old pipes can cause all sorts of problems.

The roommates are the landlords, fortunately. I think they were already planning to call Roto-Rooter.

Ah, good. :)

(When ours did that, it turned out that the clay pipe out to the sewer had collapsed, and it cost lots to fix. I hope it's not that bad.

I hope so too. Given their track record so far, I wouldn't be surprised if they completely forgot to tell me that the pipes were going to be replaced and we couldn't use the bathroom for three days, or something.
