One friend lives in an old house with a gas leak

Drove me fucking nuts

I love that the gas leak is just accepted as a feature of the home, like bay windows or a sunken living room.

Without the gas leak the rent would be almost double.

"Lives?" Present tense?!

I know somebody whose house blew up from a gas leak, killed one of the tenants. The one that the landlord paid $7 an hour to help change the hot water heater and did it wrong. The ATF investigated and declared an oopsie. Dead guys dumbass wife despite knowing there's a gas leak and being told not to light a cigarette lit a cigarette.

I've changed a gas water heater before, and I can confirm that you have to be a dumbass not to be real careful to do it right, especially if you live in the house!

I have changed several. Have yet to kill anybody.
