Wouldn't you know it

[HottyToddyChick]

I've done nothing this week, aside from knitting and I finally decided to do laundry to surprise Matt when he gets home. First load, and the washer leaks EVERYWHERE.

Oh, but it gets better. The office is closed today for some "function" they're having. So I called it in as "emergency maintenance". Hey, the line says flooding constitutes an emergency. It's been half an hour or so. Haven't heard anything back. It would be nice if they would at least call back and say they don't consider that an emergency.

But it looks like he'll just come home to sorted piles of laundry. At least the sheets got washed.


(And on a completely unrelated note, I'm dying to figure out what my upstairs neighbors have that sounds like a garage door opening! I've heard it a few times now. Makes me feel like my parents are home and I should stop doing what I'm doing or else I'll get in trouble. Pavlov, anyone?)

you can come over here and use the laundry services you require...all I ask is for some lasagna....

You buy stuffs, I cook.

I get to eat, too, right?

Chain drive or screw drive? Inquiring minds need to know.

My neighbors don't actually have one, which is what really piques my curiosity.


I think my parents' had a chain one.

Do your neighbors have a torture chamber?

 

[HottyToddyChick]

Could be, I suppose. I do hear interesting things coming from up.

What in there would sound like a garage door opening though?

My washer leaks too.... DOWNSTAIRS into my parents apartment LOL. I have a towel down the side to collect water.

One of the apartments we lived in I swear the girl upstairs was a working girl. We would hear her doorbell at all hours. Always guys of varying descriptions, followed by moaning & bed squeaking. She was an attractive leggy red-head. I never saw her wearing much.

It did it once ages ago; the guy found pennies in some contraption in the bottom of it. The rupture a disc or something. I'm convinced they weren't my pennies, but I am extra vigilant in my pocket checking now.

The worst leak I've had was the AC run off debris building up in the pipe and it all dripping out and then going into my bedroom. Damn near ruined my furniture. :mad But I called emergency maintenance and the guy called right back and was here within half an hour.

We're y'all in the city then?


They just came. And by "they" I mean the guy who came last time when it leaked in the bedroom (my gosh, he's cute when he dresses up!) and then three other guys. I wonder if they carpooled to the function and that's why they all came? It really caught me off guard.

But I do enjoy that one guy. He's very personable. Always talks the whole time, and not in an awkward way. And I learn while he does his thing. I know what's wrong and how he fixes stuff. Not that I'm going to fix things here, but for when I'm not renting anymore, it'll be nice to have an idea.

We were newlyweds at the time in a new city.
