You might try telling your landlord that plugging your fingers in a live wall socket is part of a ritual you perform weekly, and your fingers won’t fit in the provided sockets. When they look at your dazzed and confused, you could come back with: "Just kidding. I just want my audio system to sound better. Can I change it out?"
Shouldn’t Do This, but…
Hi All,
I just finished moving into my new apartment. The landlord is a little touchy about certain things. For example, he was opposed to my wanting to store boxes in the basement, of all things. Today I spent the day unboxing stereo equipment. Anyhow, I have a Cruz First Maestro receptacle and I want to switch that out with the original but I don’t have access to the fuse box in the basement. I’ve switched out receptacles with the electric on before but I hate doing it. Any advice or words of encouragement?
Thanks!
