Ranting to /dev/null

Totally unrelated

So the residents of the "B" apartments in the graduate housing get a mass email asking us to keep our kitchen faucets running. See, the water line runs up the outside wall, and as it's colder than Satan's butt around here, the water needs to keep running to prevent the pipes from bursting. So we've had the water running.

What do you think happens this afternoon? My roommate and I get an email saying that the apartment below has reported a water leak. But we've had the water running! What happened? The drain pipe froze and burst because of the water we were running through it.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
