From W:
Our sink has never really worked, it was somewhat bi-polar. Finally, it was starting to break down. During my stressful and hectic finals week, the cold water would not run properly; when you were done, you’d have to toggle with the facuet otherwise it keeps dripping or keeps running. None of my roommates nor me wanted to use the cold water, which means u have a 3 second limit on washing ur hands because your skin can’t take that much hot scorching water.
While i was home alone, frustrated and stressed, I sidekicked the faucet (note: the faucet is a swan head so its long and curved) so i bent the entire thing. I decided to fix it by sidekicking it from the other way until it was straight again. It looked fine, so I thought I fixed it.
So during one of the days of my finals, I get woken up at 7/8 am to 2 people walking around our ground floor knocking on people’s doors (note: our apartment was like a hotel, there was a lobby, and the walls were paper thin). Finally they walk back and forth and finally get to our door and say “Yeah this, MUST be the one. This has to be it.”
I answer the door to 2 mexican workers, “Helloooo” they say, resembling the way a mexican would say “hooolaa…” They explain that there is a leak, a really bad leak in the garage and that they needed to check out our unit to see where its coming from. They go around our complex and soon to discover what I had done to the sink. They spent 2 hours there, calling places to look for these special parts. I left to go take my exam, I come back an hour later, and they were still there.
They eventually gave up, told me they are going to have to order the parts from the manufacturer. I went to go take a shower, turn on the faucet…to brown water. Oh, and the sink never got fixed even by the time i graduated.
Only in College…
i would kill my landlord
Can’t trust mexicans to do anything right
let’s not be racist now, i’m half hispanic. why didn’t they just change the entire faucet.
because all landlords are cheap, especially towards college students
