A series of unfortunate events:

A number of days ago we had a bit of a run in of an amusing nature.  I was in the shower rather late one evening singing at the top of my lungs of course when the water started running cold.  That is typically a bad sign when your hot water tank is gas powered.  So, of course, I first check to see if Steph is doing the dishes, though it is unlikely that would be the most simple problem, but of course that is not the case.  Our gas tank has run empty.  That means that all of our pilot lights are out.  So we called our landlord and figure out how to switch gas tanks.  That was the easy part.  Next we have to relight the pilot lights on the two hot water heaters.  That was also rather easy.  It was amusing because we are looking around with flashlights because of course the battery power ran out as we were trying to relight the pilot lights.  Once we got those lit we also have to relight the pilots on the two fridges.  The older fridge lit without a problem, but we tried the new fridge for a long time before we gave up for the night.  The next morning I tried it twice and it lit easily, but this was after we had moved all of the food out of the fridge and into the other one.  Having gas powered appliances is highly amusing.
