Flooded

[TasteyPies]

My basement is under 2-3 inches of water not much right?

Well considering my Playstation2, Cd player, and shaver were on the floor I lost $280 in electronic devices. (for me thats alot) Recently my parents kidnaped my TV/Electronics stand for the TV they bought and said I could have it back when they get the big screen they want....so my Stuff was on the floor becaue they had my stand and wouldnt give it back.

My Question is..
Should they have to pay for my stuff?

[GrimmReaper]

Yes you should. Make them pay! *glares*

[Kirobaito]

I think you should split the cost.

[TasteyPies]

I think you should split the cost.

Im broke and saved up 3 years for that stuff :(

No fair

No fair
Life isn't fair. Get a job.

[TasteyPies]

Life itself isn't anything, it is people who are fair or unfair

[Rye]

That sucks. We had floods where I used to live, but here is pretty flood free.

[The Captain]

Well, at least your computer was spared, as it would seem.

Perhaps, it's time to rediscover the beautiful world known as the outside for a while?

If, your family has flood insurance, perhaps you'll get the lost materials back, by the by. Otherwise, I'd say that sadly, you are stuck and might have to get a job.

Take care all.

out...whaty? BLASPHEMY!

My computer is in my parents apartment on the 2rd floor and attic,I'm in the basement floor and my sisters get the first floor.

And as for insurance, a small puddle here and there is highly unlikely, but the first big rain when I move in I get inches of water coating the floor.

I will have to look into this....do we even have flood insurance?

You release as long as it wasn't on that stuff isn't runined, just leave it to dry out for a few days before using it.

Recently my parents kidnaped my TV/Electronics stand for the TV they bought and said I could have it back when they get the big screen they want....so my Stuff was on the floor becaue they had my stand and wouldnt give it back.

In that case, they should pay for it. It's their fault your stuff got ruined, after all.

[Breine]

Well, they put it on the floor so technically they should pay... Really, I don't know who should be paying for the stuff. Ask them nicely and maybe you're lucky? :)

[Evelia]

Well, whether or not they should pay they're probably not going to, so you might as well get a job. :(

[Shlup]

You shouldn't leave your expensive electronics on the basement floor.

[TasteyPies]

your right i should have left them on my electronics stand... Besides my basement is my room and my TV at least waso n a small laundry basket that could barely support it.

[fire_of_avalon]

SOMEBODY WHO AGREES WITH ME!!! *dances*

I think you should approach your parents about replacing/repairing your things. Never hurts to ask.

And check with your insurance provider for flood insurance, though most providers don't offer it.

[Meat Puppet]

I'd tell them about it and leave the decision up to them. Depending on what they do for you will affect what you do for them when they are old and senial. That's my motto. :greenie:

[Shlup]

your right i should have left them on my electronics stand... Besides my basement is my room and my TV at least waso n a small laundry basket that could barely support it.Maybe you should've saved up some money for furniture too, or perhaps milk crates.

[TasteyPies]

I saved up some money for an electronics stand instead, look where it got me :|

[Logan]

I think they should at least help pay for it, as it was them that stole the stand.

[Mr. Graves]

If your parents were wise, they'd have some company have home insurance of some kind to get your damaged goods replaced. Hope they did that, otherwise, unless you have a good-sized back account with no real purpose for it, you're screwed.

You release as long as it wasn't on that stuff isn't runined, just leave it to dry out for a few days before using it.

OMG a point ^
