Work Related Hilarity
So, I was thinkin the other day, lots of crazy, stupid, and downright funny shit happens at work for me. So, I figure, I'll write about it and give y'all the reassurance that your smarter then the residents of Lucas Hunt Village. Lets begin shall we?
About 2 weeks ago, I get a call from a guy saying his bathroom is flooded. I'm like "WTF?", and ask if he has a tub backing up, or a toilet overflowing, he tells me it's coming from the ceiling. So, I head down there and check the apartment above his.... Same issue. Water coming from the ceiling, flooding the bathroom. So, I go up to the next apartment above that one (we have 3 story apartment buildings, so I'm at the top one now) No one is home, so I let myself in (I love being Maintenance), and go to the bathroom.... What do I find? I find a frozen package of chicken in the bathroom sink, hot water running full blast with the stopper up so no water can drain, just overflowing all over the floor.
I'm like.... WTF? I shut off the water, and let the stopper out, so the water drains. There's really nothing I can do except be wowed by the stupidity of the resident that attempted to thaw chicken in her bathroom sink, then left for a few hours. (Yes, hours) So, her 5$ chicken dinner, turned into a 355$ chicken dinner.... After damages.
So there's a dumb resident for yah. Hope everyone out there that read that is smarter then that.
So, on Thanksgiving I get a call (The downfall of being maintenance, being on call) from this lady who says there water on her bathroom floor. Then, she tells me "It's been happening for about a week now, so I decided to call...... I'm like... WTF???? You decide to call me on THANKSGIVING!? Are you retarded? I told her to mop it up, and id be out the next day.
Come on now, I could totally understand if it was something sudden and major, tub backed up, your toilet explodes, sure. But, a puddle of water on the floor you have known about for over a week!? *smack!* Deal with it till tomorrow bitch.
Those are just two occasions I recall off the top of my head. There are plenty more, and lots of good ones that just pop up every week. So maybe I'll make this rant more common. I must admit, I feel like a fricken Einstein compared to these people here, I swear.
