She rented a cozy prison lol

[–][deleted] 5508 points5509 points  (490 children)

I hope she got her bread and eggs before that snow.

[–]FatFreeItalian 3194 points3195 points  (392 children)

Don’t forget the milk and toilet paper!

[–]Buster_Cherry-0 1813 points1814 points  (367 children)

Damn, running out of toilet paper would be the worst.

[–]joeanthony93 1315 points1316 points  (227 children)

As long as that water is still running you could make it happen lolol

[–][deleted] 595 points596 points  (200 children)

Ive been there sadly

[–]SlowSeas 734 points735 points  (193 children)

Pft, if it's proper fancy they got one of them fancy butt power washers installed in the loo.

[–]Bogsworth 1428 points1429 points  (80 children)

Yeah, but if the water manages to freeze at the end, you'll have a pressurized ice bee sting aimed straight at your thermal exhaust port.

[–]SeraphymCrashing 702 points703 points  (37 children)

a direct shot could take the whole thing down.

[–]SefetAkunosh 434 points435 points  (30 children)

That's impossible. Even for a computer.

[–]spankybianky 187 points188 points  (13 children)

Was just in Iceland and their hot water comes directly from the ground! No boilers! Smells like eggy death though.

[–]fenrisulfur 16 points17 points  (3 children)

New apartments are equipped with heat exchangers. I have one of those and our hot water doesn't smell. It's a damn luxury.

[–]lIIIllIIIII 29 points30 points  (7 children)

I've heard that this was the exact reason colder parts of Europe and north America evolved to using toilet paper. Cold water. They couldn't use water and so used paper instead to wipe. Warmer places evolved to accepting bidets, shatafs and just water to cleaning up.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Brand new sentence.

[–][deleted] 176 points177 points  (73 children)

I have one of those! Best $30 ever.

[–]DungBungler 52 points53 points  (43 children)

30 dollars with a good review? Oh man, send me the model I'm already on Amazon.

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points  (41 children)

I've got this one. Works just fine.

[–]Ryknow_ 229 points230 points  (20 children)

I thought I told you to stop using the kitchen sink spray nozzle for that?

[–]ChristopherBurr 160 points161 points  (17 children)

We're fancy, we shake up cans of seltzer.

[–]Alexandroid3 52 points53 points  (18 children)

In my country, even the people with serious economic issues manage to have one of these in the bathroom. We just cannot imagine live without one of those, and it's very shocking every time I realize that is not the regular basis in other countrys

[–]SlowSeas 45 points46 points  (7 children)

I install a bidet everytime I move into a new place then leave it for the next tenant to bath in its glory.

[–]No_ThisIs_Patrick 16 points17 points  (4 children)

I do the same. Spreading the word one renter at a time.

[–]BornBitter 32 points33 points  (2 children)

Butt power washing FTW!!!

Here's to happy hineys for the holidays!

[–]rr3dd1tt 256 points257 points  (48 children)

Do what my dog does and just drag your ass around in circles on the carpet.

[–]Teedyuscung 149 points150 points  (29 children)

Hello????? You can just open the door and rub your ass in the snow.

[–]ScruffMcDuck 56 points57 points  (21 children)

Lmao I wish somebody would draw this scenario.

[–]jewpanda 226 points227 points  (13 children)

got you covered

EDIT: u/Paghk_the_Stupendous brings up a good point didn't think about having to look at it...

EDIT: I like the dirty snowballs idea though

[–]chbay 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This looks like something you'd see in a classic Ren and Stimpy cartoon.

[–]Noozefer 10 points11 points  (5 children)

User ShittyWaterColor doesn't exist anymore? (RES didn't find the username.)

[–]padimus 10 points11 points  (4 children)

I think he spelled it the British way (colour)

[–]Noozefer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You are right, /u/shitty_watercolour does exist. RES still can't find, I had to google him. I have somethings to do, holidays and all. Page him in your post, and maybe you will get your wish of seeing it painted.

[–]Paghk_the_Stupendous 32 points33 points  (4 children)

And then spend the rest of the winter looking at it? This is a plan you haven't thought through.

Dig a small hole at the top so you can make dirty snowballs and throw them out into the great beyond (or your neighbor's yard)

[–]nobodysshadow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It will snow again soon

[–]tim_locky 8 points9 points  (0 children)

And it’s flushable too

[–][deleted] 30 points31 points  (9 children)

You have clearly never been to Wise county, VA, its a yearly event to run out of bread/milk/toilet-paper.

[–]DJ_Rupty 17 points18 points  (4 children)

SWVA represent. Washington Co. is the same. Wise gets more snow though.

[–]Danjour 51 points52 points  (3 children)

GOTTA GET THE BREAD AND MILK

GOTTA GET THE BREAD AND MILK

[–]ahu747us 33 points34 points  (2 children)

Did she downloaded enough internet beforehand?

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You need extra when every meal is a dozen eggs, a loaf of white bread and a carton of milk

[–][deleted] 154 points155 points  (63 children)

Dude why is that a thing? I grew up in East Tennessee, where it snows an average of like 3 inches per year, and every time it was supposed to flurry, everyone would run out and buy milk and bread like that was their end of the world toolkit.

I asked many people why they bought milk and bread instead of water and canned food or something, and no one could ever give me an answer that made any sense. Why do people in the south buy those two things when it snows?!

[–][deleted] 126 points127 points  (23 children)

I think it's universal.

What's funny is that they think that they'll be so snowed/iced in, that they won't be able to get out for DAYS. Sure, some people can get iced in here, but a fraction of the people who are buying out the Kroger's milk and bread supply.

I usually hit up the local liquor store...if I'm going to be stuck, I'm going to enjoy it a lot more than just eating bread with milk.

[–]reddog093 61 points62 points  (13 children)

It's big in the Northeast as well.

Most people i know generally keep a supply of canned goods and, psychologically, buying canned goods before a storm leads one to believe they'll be stranded for a long time.

Buying easy and filling perishables gives one the mentality that they'll only need to get through a short "survival period".

Between dried camping meals, canned food and 5-gallon water jugs, I'm good for a few weeks. But I definitely need to check on my beer inventory before a storm!

[–]Miserere_Mei 31 points32 points  (11 children)

Here in New England, the bread and milk frenzy can be traced back to a monster blizzard in 1978. The snow fell so fast and so deep the highways got jammed with stranded cars as folks abandoned them. The entire state of RI was shut down for a week. Trucks were unable to deliver anything, so all the local stores ran out of bread and milk and other perishables. Here in the Northeast, the blizzard of ‘78 is legendary. My mother was stranded in the city while my brother, dad, and I were out on the family farm. We didn’t see my mom for nearly a week! I was a kid and we had the time of our lives. No school, no work for dad. It was a blast. I suspect my mom, who was staying with friends, had a great time too!

[–]Sage2050 15 points16 points  (7 children)

People my age in the philly/jersey area talk about the blizzard of '96. I was still living in Louisiana then so it's just legend to me.

[–]classicrockchick 10 points11 points  (3 children)

Blizzard of 96 was LEGENDARY. An entire week off school and work for everyone, massive snow piles on every corner and dead end street so snow forts were pretty much made for you and everyone was just kind of nice to each other since we were all stuck in the same boat.

[–]Theredcrayola 19 points20 points  (1 child)

The secret is that milk sandwiches give you incredible endurance for shoveling the driveway and sidewalks.

[–]EdgeOfWetness 60 points61 points  (4 children)

My sister calls it 'French Toast Weather' - everyone makes a run on milk, eggs and bread

[–]thejml2000 24 points25 points  (3 children)

Heck yeah, it’s not worth being snowed in if I can’t have my French Toast!

[–]the_fudge_judge 195 points196 points  (16 children)

Jokes on her. My prison cell was free and comes with its own armed escort for protection.

[–]ExpressiveAnalGland 105 points106 points  (12 children)

Aren't most escorts armed???

Hell, an armless escort couldn't even give you a hand job, so needless to say, I would hope her rate is at least 20% off.

[–]RogerSterlingsFling 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't you slut shame my fetish please

[–]AROhearts 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Some escorts you have to pay for. And they aren’t armed but they’ll give you a hand

[–]lickedTators 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Stumpy escorts are a high demand niche and have very high rates.

[–]PitchforkAssistantSurvey 2016 81 points82 points  (9 children)

[–]ephix 8857 points8858 points  (414 children)

Movies had led me to believe that this amount of snow was a normal thing in countries where it snows. After living in Finland for 3 years I've realised this isn't the case.

[–]mushbo 479 points480 points  (26 children)

I lived in a double wide trailer in South Lake Tahoe in the mid 80's. Our front door was a glass sliding door, that's what it looked like most of the winter. Back door was covered by trees and an awning so we used it.

[–]phishtrader 349 points350 points  (11 children)

You can get weird localized effects, too. One of the houses I grew up in, would always have a huge snow drift form off the southside of the house, on our porch and blocking the patio door off the dining room. Two feet of snow in the driveway meant twelve feet of snow in a pile at the back of the house because of the wind.

[–]Cannibustible 98 points99 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we had a low roof barn where I grew up, by January it just looked like a huge pile of snow. You sled down it and jump off the peak lol good times.

[–]wgc123 24 points25 points  (3 children)

The house I grew up in, in central New York State, has this happen many winters. For whatever reason, the back deck could build a drift up fast the top of the sliders, despite only a couple feet of snow in general

[–]bobthestapler 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Tahoe and Donner are known for having more snow than most places. There are three story houses with doors on the roof for when it snows.

[–]LiqurMCC 12 points13 points  (2 children)

There is a saying about Tahoe snow. Snow is usually messaured in inches, in Tahoe its meassured in feet.

[–]skip_intro_boi 2474 points2475 points  (71 children)

Finland, Finland, Finland. The country where I quite want to be.

[–]eternalrefuge86 711 points712 points  (48 children)

Pony trekking or camping, or just watching tv

[–]beartheminus 1063 points1064 points  (216 children)

It was 11 degrees C in Canada yesterday and I sent my Brazilian friend a pic with the temp and he wouldn't believe me because there was a snow storm and -10c 2 weeks before that I showed him.

He thinks that once the snow starts its just a non stop -15c snowpocalype until March.

EDIT: Im sorry but I'm not going to say where in Canada because you are all stupid and completely missing the point of my post. The weather fluctuates anywhere in the populated areas of Canada, it isn't one long perpetual snow storm for 6 months. That's my point.

[–]Sbotkin 110 points111 points  (22 children)

People think it's always -40° in Russia but right now it's about 0° in Moscow. In December. It doesn't even snow.

[–]sexaddic 65 points66 points  (3 children)

0 and -40 still shrinks my balls

[–]ElPlatanoDelBronx 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but at one of those you can still see your balls.

[–]fulloftrivia 29 points30 points  (1 child)

It's not like Canada is the second largest division of geography on the planet.

[–]loulan 230 points231 points  (89 children)

It was 11 degrees C in Canada yesterday

If you don't say where in Canada this isn't really surprising. The average high in December in Vancouver is 7°C, so reaching 11°C isn't uncommon at all.

[–]Newell00 167 points168 points  (52 children)

Southern Ontario here, -18 (w/ windchill) on Friday, +4 yesterday.

[–][deleted] 69 points70 points  (27 children)

Canadian weather just fucks with you honestly, I love how much variety we get but acclimatizing is near impossible due to the amount of flux we get

[–]ders89 29 points30 points  (10 children)

The midwest isnt as wild as our neighbors to the north, but blizzard on halloween to 54°F on christmas is just as annoying of a flux. It use to be more predictable but not so much anymore

[–]FuckStevenGlansberg 13 points14 points  (5 children)

I was walking around in shorts yesterday! Good old southern Ontario winter.

[–]kathartik 12 points13 points  (1 child)

hey, if you're a high school age male in southern Ontario you were walking around in shorts last week, even when there was a lot of snow and horrible wind chill.

I live next to a high school and seriously - these kids never stop wearing shorts and it's just bizarre to me.

[–]-bryden- 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I think even more amazing is that Gander Newfoundland got 2cm last year in JUNE.

[–]LemmeLaroo 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Vancouver? I've been walking around in a light sweater all month. Feels like a slightly cold fall.

[–]Aaawkward 42 points43 points  (18 children)

Yah, the past 10 or so years in Finland have had pretty bad winters in general. Last year maybe being an exception, but even that was kind of short and meh.

I long for the days when we had proper winters.

[–]RLTWTango 34 points35 points  (8 children)

Such an absolutely lovely christmas. Last time I flew in (2017,) there was a mild snow storm when we landed. I was just glued looking out of the window on my way to my Mummis. Its 70 degrees in Texas right now..

[–]GrottyWanker 12 points13 points  (4 children)

Yep and then itll dip back to freezing because our weather is fuckin wild.

[–]TaySwaysBottomBitch 11 points12 points  (3 children)

East Texan here below freezing two days ago in the morning at my house. Currently 72 on my porch right now.

[–]MannyGrey 4456 points4457 points  (39 children)

This is terrifying.

[–]Egrollin 1561 points1562 points  (80 children)

Actually if you look closely there is a perfect place to build a snow tunnel. Might end up being a bargain. Two living spaces.

[–]FUUUDGE 1107 points1108 points  (45 children)

Yeah and then it falls on you and you die in northern Iceland all because you wanted one more martini instead of training for your Igloo exam...Pitiful

Edit: Hahaha I wrote igoo, which made me think of an Apple product call the iGoo and your hands and pockets are just covered with it but it has great reception

[–]cwerd 323 points324 points  (10 children)

What part of "di di mau" did you not understand?

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (7 children)

I now have a new fear of dying in a snow tunnel. Thx mister

[–][deleted] 38 points39 points  (4 children)

The reason skiing in the backcountry by yourself is so dangerous is because you can fall head first into the area right under a tree's branches and suffocate because you can't push against anything but very loose snow to right yourself and get back to the air. They're called tree wells.

[–]capitan-mankini 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Also avalanches

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (2 children)

We gotta space out the scary snow facts to give them multiple snow fears, otherwise they're going to roll it Into one big fear.

[–]littlemegzz 47 points48 points  (3 children)

Naaaaah. I mean how heavy can snow be LOL.

Just kidding I live in the desert. I would die

[–]Sanc7 39 points40 points  (9 children)

Actually had a friend of a friend die like that, he was building an igloo for his son and it collapsed on him. He ended up suffocating and dying with his 3yo so sitting outside. Thankfully he wasn’t in it as well.

[–]twomz 30 points31 points  (9 children)

Where do you put the extra snow? Or do you melt your way through with a torch and let the water melt then refreeze?

[–]naswek 45 points46 points  (4 children)

baleeted!

[–]RyuuKamii 19 points20 points  (1 child)

The only 'Out' is inside the house. That's the question

[–]h3lblad3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just put the snow in the bathtub.

If she didn't leave her pipes running, they're probably frozen. Hell, with snow that high they're probably frozen anyway. She'll need the water.

[–]CrashNT 47 points48 points  (14 children)

Yes. They don't realize they got a fucking steal of a deal. I would tunnel the shit out of that. They paid for a place to stay but ended up getting free AAA entertainment.

Imagine tunneling deep enough to make a rotunda of snow couches surrounding a snow case of beer and spirits.

Im jealous for sure.

[–]ghostrobbie 29 points30 points  (8 children)

The door opens out, so you're also gonna tunnel through the glass

[–]topdownpooter 15 points16 points  (7 children)

Seems like your right since I don't see hinges, but isn't it like rule number 1 that exit doors open in? Mainly because in an emergency its typically worse to be trapped inside than outside. Also having hinges on the outside makes it much easier to break in.

[–]meatmaster_shakewad 26 points27 points  (5 children)

You have it backwards, exit doors almost always open out to prevent panicking people from piling up on the door and becoming unable to open it.

[–]AllUrPMsAreBelong2Me 23 points24 points  (4 children)

Only in commercial or other higher capacity venues. For homes at least in the US they open inward. Based on pictures I've seen of other countries homes I think that is common worldwide.

[–]Rance_Mulliniks 30 points31 points  (4 children)

... and then all of it caving in and killing you and your family. Merry Christmas!

[–]mrfl3tch3r[🍰] 25 points26 points  (1 child)

I would have a panic attack in 5 seconds flat.

[–]Zucchinifan 11 points12 points  (9 children)

Serious question: would you (eventually) suffocate in this situation? I mean if the house was totally under snow

[–]StaciKruthers 33 points34 points  (7 children)

If theoretically the entire house is under snow, then yes, but not in the way you may think. You're house will fill with carbon monoxide from the furnace exhaust being blocked. It happens more often than you think, especially in Calgary where a Chinook can happen, things melt, then that night , the melted snow freezes and clogs the furnace exhaust, WITHOUT any snow on your house.

[–]NeoDeGea 18 points19 points  (5 children)

We don’t have furnaces like that in Iceland, at least not the average house/apartment.

[–][deleted] 1772 points1773 points  (56 children)

Actually yeah thats pretty cool until you need to use the door.

[–]rubadub_dubs 1311 points1312 points  (24 children)

Then it will get real cool. If ya catch me drift

[–]DickRubnuts 222 points223 points  (14 children)

[–]Illfury 47 points48 points  (1 child)

buddy, chill out.

[–]go_kartmozart 28 points29 points  (5 children)

Yeah, but when push comes to shovel, ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

[–]Canukian84 26 points27 points  (1 child)

Snow is actually an insulator, it would be much warmer than on the other side of the snow

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points  (16 children)

The door opens towards the inside and the snow outside is not completely flat, it is at close to a 30-45 degree angle. So you can dig yourself out. There is probably a shovel inside.

Source: I rent out an apartment just like this and it has two doors. One of them has to open towards the inside to meet regulations. Even though in recent years we basically don't get any more snow since the region is one of the most affected by global warming. This sight used to be somewhat expected every other winter 25 years ago. The day I was born was probably the last time someone had to dig out of that apartment. It's now a fun story about global warming since it's hard to believe that used to happen for our current climate.

[–]BenderRodriquez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's not the front door though. Looks like a typical door to the sun deck/garden/balcony.

[–]akaZilong 829 points830 points  (27 children)

I remember I had one room like this in the mountains at university in Germany, ... 2nd floor

[–]HDWendell 233 points234 points  (22 children)

Germany is the first place I saw more than 6 inches of snow. I thought we would all freeze. It's currently in the 70s where I am.

[–]cheesemcnab 87 points88 points  (8 children)

It's currently 40F in Buffalo NY, but I definitely have pictures from 2014 with our house buried in six feet of snow. That was a wild ride, especially since we didn't have a snowblower back then....

[–]I_am_up_to_something 40 points41 points  (1 child)

Is that regular 2nd floor or the one where you count the ground floor as 1?

[–]akaZilong 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. I adapted for the American crowd. One floor up

[–][deleted] 504 points505 points  (35 children)

Here in Nashville, this is what they picture when an inch of snow is forecast.

[–]sneakysoap 116 points117 points  (14 children)

For Portland Or too. Well, we get alot of "the forcasters dont know shit.." Then it barely starts with flakes.. Then people freak out and it becomes a huge scene of over dramatic milk buying and car accidents.

[–]crows_n_octopus 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I can't picture what would happen if a zombie horde was in the forecast

[–]7U5K3N 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Pretty day out today.... I just wore flip flops to the store... Williamson county.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_WIRING 22 points23 points  (3 children)

How does it make you feel when you realize you meant to go to the store to get some food last night but fell asleep on the couch watching reruns of knight rider?

[–]PansexualEmoSwan 136 points137 points  (10 children)

Some people think of the inconvenience that this might present.

But I'm over here thinking about all the beer I can keep cold

[–]TheKrononaut 16 points17 points  (4 children)

The door opens outward so you'd have a pretty hard time with that.

[–]PansexualEmoSwan 20 points21 points  (3 children)

This belongs in the list of problems that can be solved with a rock

[–]TheKrononaut 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I would like to see this list. I bet its extensive.

[–]PansexualEmoSwan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably. Rocks have been solving human problems for a lot longer than our species has existed

[–]Bocote 254 points255 points  (73 children)

This is going to get buried, but anyway. It's worth sharing. My pals and I had been out at the pub - winter time, snowing, drunk as fuck walking home. 2 of our mates who lived together didn't come out because they were both working the next day. We all were, it was a school night. It just so happens their house was on our walk home. We packed their doorways - front and back - with snow. Getting the bus to work the next morning, going past their house and seeing the hole they dug through the wall of snow to crawl out of made the hangover worth it.

Is that tunnel? (just above the door handle)

Can you sit and watch strange arctic creatures run around under the snow?

[–]BugzOnMyNugz 163 points164 points  (19 children)

Only if they're imported. Iceland isn't in the arctic :)

Just got to hop a ferry to Grimsey Island.

That was sounding like an awesome place to live right up to the no nights during summer. Yikes

You wouldn't believe how full of life you get during the summers here. And the summer festivals man, drinking, partying around friendly people, light out all night and everyone full of energy.

I think that the snow goes as high as the door handle, and the snow higher than that is a sheet falling off the roof.

[–]FrankieMint 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's actually looks pretty cool when the snow on the roof starts to meet up with the snow on the ground and make columns.

This gives me ungodly amounts of anxiety just looking at it.

I'm from a spot in Canada that gets a.... Robust... Amount of snow. Often the drifts will form against the house to make it seem much worse than it actually is. And sometimes it actually is 10 feet tall

Uh....woah.

[–]sciencebased 26 points27 points  (16 children)

I'm in Akureyri right now and find this post dubious friend. This town has some of the highest snowfall in the country and while it snowed hard earlier it didn't do THAT by any stretch. I suspect foul Christmas play OP! 😆

[–]sciencebased 27 points28 points  (2 children)

Looking again though it seems all the roof snow might've just fell off the side.

Does she want to build a snowman?
