Amongst all the papers in this folder I have of paperwork, I found this:
I apologize for my camera, all I have here at work is my camera phone. But this is what it says, word-for-word.
Clogged Toilets
Residents are expected to attempt to clear their own toilets.
It is recommended that residents furnish their own toilet plunger.
If resident does not have a plunger, the leasing office will have one available for 'check out'.
If repeated attempts to clear your toilet fail, the maintenance staff will assist you.
**Flush toilet often. Do not let items build up!
People, I don't even know where to start with this. Except to say, "Are you serious??" Is this a joke? I mean, isn't everything that they're "recommending" sort of common sense? Or is it just me?
It's actually quite hilarious, and provided a laugh this morning when I saw it. I guess if for nothing else, it's good for a laugh. Maybe they typed it up as sorta a little apartment community inside joke or something. Who knows.
I can just imagine the phone call of a distressed tenant who has let their "items" build up:
Office: Aspen Highlands, this is Lisa.
Tenant: Yes, I have a little bit of a problem.
Office: And what's are you having a problem with sir?
Tenant: Uhh, I sorta have let my "items build up", if you catch my drift.
Office: Ummm, ooooooo-kay, you sick bas*ard. Well, let's see here. Have you been flushing your toilet often, like the notice stated?
Tenant: No, I haven't been keeping up to date on that.
Office: So do you have a plunger? Would you like to rent one from us?
Tenant: Yeah I have a plunger, but this is gettin to be a real problem here. Can you just send the maintenance staff over here to assist me?
Office: (hangs up and calls dispatch) Yeah we have a code brown in unit 240, we need a recovery assist team over there ASAP, 10-4. Copy.
I mean, is that how it would go. Something like that, I suppose. Anyway, I think it's pretty funny, so I had to share.
