“Dear PoPville,
I know this isn’t Reddit, but AITA/Do I have any ground to stand on here?
I live in a multi-unit condo where everyone’s air conditioners are on the roof. The only way to access the roof is through a specific condo unit.
Last summer our air conditioner broke and we figured we’d get it replaced in the spring of 2020. Little did we know COVID-19 would be in high gear and stay-at-home orders would be put in place.

*This series will feature any pets in a backpack/bag. On metro, or not. Corgi, or not.
September 18th 2019 launched us into the wonderful world of corgis, and later other breeds/pets, hitching rides around town, often via public transit, in backpacks. Sadly, the series had become another victim of the coronaville shutdown. Not for the first time nor for the last, I hope, it’s Meatloaf to the rescue!!
“Meatloaf has been spotted working from home, he is very sad to not be on the actual Metro anymore, as evidenced by photo #2.” (more…)
