The joys of domesticity
Ugh. The bathtub puked on me today and I was less than pleased with it :-P We've been having an on-and-off issue with our bathtub spitting up water and crap on occasion, I think since about January. We called maintenance once before I left for Seattle and Argonaut bugged them a few times while I was gone, and they came out once after I got back as well. There wasn't any association to using the sink or the tub, and what came up was usually some variation of black, grey, blue, or even pink. It hadn't happened in a while and we thought maybe the latest treatment had worked, until I shocked poor Argonaut by shouting a variety of obscenities through his wall this morning while diving out of the shower. Maintenance got a rather irate call by a towel-clad, dripping and annoyed T'Shanik.
So far the count for today is 7 - Argonaut just made another tick on the tally sheet helpfully hanging up on the tub wall for maintenance tomorrow. Being the observer that he is, he concluded that this seems to happen when the upstairs neighbors drain their tub. Based on the appearance, odor and frequency of the crap (it happens most often on Sundays), we think they're doing laundry in their tub and we're receiving the benefits.
So, to the folks upstairs - use the laundry room! It's really fairly easy, and I'm sure you'll find it more enjoyable than using your bathtub. Why? Because if you don't you might just have a towel-clad T'Shanik knocking on your door with a hockey stick the next time my tub pukes on me. Trust me, I know how to use one :-P
