How Pissed Off Should I Be?

[AFLGuru]

Look, I know this completely off topic, but at this hour, this board might be the only place I can vent... As most of you know, I'm a student at Florida State, and I'm living in a predominantly student-based apartment. Most everyone has left for the remainder of the summer, though I am staying up here for an extra week. I'm starting my new job tonight as a night desk clerk at a hotel...

So here I am taking a shower to get ready for work and I hear this dripping... don't know what the hell it is. It stopped, so I stopped worrying about it. Got out of the shower and saw a massive wet spot on my toilet. So I start cleaning it up and start looking where the leak came from. Turns out it was coming right from above me... and it wasn't water...

The people upstairs from me who aren't students (basically live there full time) flushed their toilet, and the piss came straight down on my head as I was looking for what was wrong.

So the killer in this... we have 24 hour maintenance on our lease. I called the number, and they told me that I would have to wait until Monday to get this fixed... Doesn't 24 hour maintenance mean 24 hours a day, including the summer? Apparently the late night guy isn't in town. I'm livid... I just got pissed on from above and no one's going to fix it for me the rest of the weekend... didn't get an apology or anything from this chick on the phone, and she hung up on me when I started going off on her with what was wrong and that it was crap that no one could even come down THE NEXT MORNING to fix it... and there are people in the office on weekends, but apparently not during the summer.

I'm not wrong in being incredible pissed off here, am I???? (And no, there was no pun intended... I'm just furious right now and pissed off is probably better than what I want to say...)

Be glad it wasn't #2.

 

[AFLGuru]

You're telling me... Can't even use the logic of "better pissed off than pissed on" in this situation...

 

[ClipJoint]

LMAO...

That is total bullshit though. I would be livid if someone told me just wait till Monday when everytime someone goes to the bathroom upstairs it is coming down in your bathroom. Raise hell!

 

[GreenDoberman]

Might be time to buy your upstairs neighbors a housewarming gift. I hear a nice bucket makes a great gift.

 

[winkyduck]

if you are a student at FSU - just do what most would do here

skip classes and get shit faced drunk

and if you are a football player - steal something from someone and/or sexually assault a co-ed

 

[PSA10]

yea, leave a loaf of shit on their doorstep

 

[AFLGuru]

Hah Winky... Very good.

 

[FairWarning]

I hear Dillards is a nice place to shop if you are a FSU jock. Guru, do you get any of those benefits?

 

[AFLGuru]

Funny thing is that I have no idea where a Dillards is in this city... I don't think either major mall has one. Don't confuse me for an FSU jock though... I'm about 5'6" 105 lbs soaking wet... even the kicker could bench press me a million times over (and that kicker's not named Janikowski anymore unfortuntaely... I miss him so much... never a doubt that he'd miss the big time kick, even if it was from 50+ away)

1- Call whoever you spoke to back & be nice ( I know you're pissed, But you've already tried your pissed off approch the first time & it didn't work).

2- She'll most likely tell you the same thing.. guy is outta town blah blah...

3- Ask if she can call a contracted plumber to get the situation resolved...If she tells you 'no' then she's full of shit!

4- MOST IMPORTANT THING- Take pictures of everything.

Later.

do what all americans do sue them

 

[IDENTITY]

afl - tang is correct in part. you may have a claim against the University for damages for mental anguish and emotional distress depending on the evidence. on monday, you should find a lawyer to send a letter to the university. good luck, sir.

Best Wishes...ID:howdy:

 

[AFLGuru]

Heh, thanks folks. They promise that Monday this thing's getting fixed... For the time being, I plugged up the stupid hole so I know I can at least take a piss in peace, but I've got to constantly monitor the stupid thing. Problem's upstairs.

And though suing someone is something that I always said I wanted to do at some point in life and it would significantly increase my betting bankroll even if I only got a settlement, it's probably not wise to sue the apartment complex that I'll be living at next year... I'll live until tomorrow morning. Now if tomorrow morning when that office opens no one's down here, THEN I'm gonna have some more problems.

 

[IDENTITY]

afl - they cant retaliate against you for enforcing your rights, sir. talk to a lawyer regardless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DELSOLII]

Tell the lawyer that you were yawning and some of it got in your mouth.

You have not been the same since.

This is a health hazzard. I don't believe a lawsuit is out of the question. I would CONSIDER calling a 24 hour plumber, having them fix it, and then forward the bill to the management.

If they do not reimburse you , I am sure a judge would be sympathetic to your plight.

IS

 

[wiseguysunlimited]

Fucking nasty! I would be very pissed. I would probably kick the shit out of the people upstairs as well. It might not be their fault, but it would make me feel better. lol. Sue their ass man, you would win. One of my co-workers was a lawyer for over 20 years and he agrees.

 

[johnskelington]

What's the chick look like that lives upstairs?

It just sounds so erotic to me.

 

[AFLGuru]

You don't wanna know my friend... nasty bitches...
