It's a lesson in patience. Right?!
There is something incredibly annoying and incredibly creepy about coming home to find that some workman your landlady hired has been in your place without any notice, moved your shit around gotten plaster dust on all your clean clothes, broken stuff, and thrown away his debris in your recycling bin. An act like that can only be followed by bitching at your landlady about it and finding out that the same jackass will be back tomorrow to spackle. W. T. F.
