Neighbors leave hallway window wide open to keep their perishable foods fresh in an old, poorly-insulated apartment building: ‘Genuine indifference [and] arrogance’

The brutal winter is unforgiving, especially in northern cities in the United States. Buffalo, New York, is one of the coldest places in the northeast, as it exists right on the border of Lake Erie. In the next story, a Buffalo resident laments that their neighbors are keeping the shared hallway window open in freezing weather so they can keep their perishable food fresh. What happened to good, old-fashioned freezers?

How do you prepare for cold weather? First, you need to find a nice, well-insulated coat and a good pair of thermals. For socks, think fluffy and hisour (these will give you the best warmth results). Grab yourself a knit hat, a chunky scarf, and a wind-resistant pair of gloves. For Buffalo NYers, waterproof and wind-resistant snow boots only. You anticipate that you'll need these pieces of clothing and accessories outside, but planning to use them inside means you either haven't paid your heat bill in months, or you're the resident in this story.

One thing neighbors will always have is the audacity, evident here on Fail Blog. Opening a window to keep your food cold is… interesting. No harm done if it's in the confines of your space, but in a shared hallway? Entitled and preposterous. This resident is at their wits' end. Scroll to read (and go Bills).
