Why didn't anyone ever tell me black mold is fatal?

Any type of mould is dangerous. And you have a shitty landlord that could care less of your health. I say move out and call a building inspector to condemn the building. Mould spores are contagious as your breathing that shit in, which in your case, you were too. If your worried anout your lungs, do breath tests and see what is inside your lungs.

Lol, you'd think massive amounts of students in cheap student housing are dying off yearly because they don't keep their bathrooms pristine.

Oh wait, they don't. Mold exposure is certainly nothing to be casual about but to just insinuate that every black spot in every bathroom is lethal is jumping to some insane conclusions. Get your landlord to pay a specialist to take care of the stuff, don't worry beyond that.

I am concerned on many levels with the OP. Having been in a house with an AC leak that lead to horrible coughing issues until I moved out. Of course I knew mold is bad for you. Also the fact that your neighbors dirty water was leaking into your area wasn't a big enough concern for you but your thoughts to help was Windex? At the signs of any water that is a leak in a structure you live in should be considered urgent priority. Mold will make you incredibly sick or worse. Not only the mold but the idea that someone else's bath water was leaking into my area is a foul thought. They could pull a George Costanza and pee in the shower which is now in your area.
 
There's another thing all of you guys have overlooked. Rent!

I look at it like this: if you're a pain in the ass tenant that bitches, moans, complains and nags, then what are you gonna do as the management company in charge? Not only take longer to fix the problem but more importantly -- jack that mother fuckers rent up!!! Don't like the apartment? No problem, this is New York baby and there's dozens if not hundreds of others lining up waiting for a vacancy.

Health and safety is one thing but at the end of the day I'm just tryin to save a few dollars any way I can get it. Of course, exploding bloater syndrome ain't the way I'm trying to go out, either.
Complaining about possibly getting a bathtub on your head while showering when the floor has rotten through because of leakage is being "a pain in the ass tenant". Alright then.

Pretty sure typical black mold is not fatal and not a massive health hazard. I think that is a myth. However, it would be wise to solve the problem because I am also sure it can potentially pose a risk to a certain degree. That, and it is simply unhygienic and gross.
 
When I came back I shit you not he was hacking his lungs out and making weird noises. Everything I read on Google says this shit can kill you and there he was with no facial mask or eye protection and just slopping some shit on with his bare hands !!! I offered him some sink water but when he finished he just kind of stumbled out.

Yoooooo....

Wait, does that mean the enemies in RE7 are actually fungal creatures? I didn't know mold was the term for the fungus surface (non-native speaker) and just assumed they were "formed"/created thus "Molden". GROSS
(Haven't finished the game yet, always assumed the black substance was some paranormal stuff)

The OP could do without the unnecessary product placement and video game references.

The latter in particular adds an immaturity to your post that sort of justifies the tone your father takes with you.

Read his other threads. It is what he does.

Video game references equate immaturity? Get outta here with that shit. You sound like my ex girlfriend.

lmao.

I wanted to shove his head through the goddamn TV that he was so dead-set on watching. Not just for the rudeness of his intrusion, but because he was playing the dumb card and pretending not to notice my visual cues of unhappiness throughout the entire course of the meal.

oh, op. *smh*

I'm the type of person who will pull out a GBA or DS in public and play on the train, and I'll talk about my ridiculous CRT/retro setup to the right person at my otherwise serious job at the office.

But I don't pepper in video game references to frame a discussion about a potentially lethal problem. Knowing nothing else about you, it does paint a picture of how your dad has this frustration with your implied lack of focus and life experience. What made it over the top for me was throwing in weirdly specific and topic-unrelated references to Tinder and Sony Xtra Bass headphones and I'm just like... why? where are this guy's priorities?

Like imagine if I made a thread about not making a rent... and I'm feeling the heat as the end of the month approaches, like Mega Man when he had to face Heat Man without the right boss weapon. Well, I tried to put it out of my mind for another day while I jammed out with my Koss Porta Pros foldable headphones and laced up my Chuck Taylors and snapped some pics on Instagram as I headed down the block for some food.......

So I saw a fucking car explode GTA-Style tonight, 4 parking spaces away from me.

Long story short, my car survived.

But, it was pretty fucking cool to watch a car literally explode.

So, to turn this into a discussion rather than a story-time moment......... Have you ever seen a random-ass car explode GTA-style?
