3 minTim recounts a string of grim New York apartment situations: a steam-pipe room, a shower in the kitchen, recurring bedbug infestations, and a mouse-infested place in Brooklyn.
- 7:45Tim pissed in Poland Spring bottles during shared house situations to avoid bathroom conflicts at odd hours.
- 8:24Tim questions why grandparents fought World War Two when people now voluntarily live in degrading conditions like pissing in jars.
- 8:50The windowless room wasn't advertised as such; Tim was just looking for something inexpensive and rushed to move out of his place.
- 9:12Tim quit working at a jail to move to Brooklyn and had a dispute with the county executive's office that went nowhere.
- 9:59First NYC apartment had a steam pipe so hot you'd get burned bumping into it.
- 10:09Bathroom for the entire apartment was located in the building's hallway.
- 10:23Bedbug infestations hit the apartment twice in one year, leaving welts in rows and requiring burning everything.
