  • Sucky customer code name:MOM

    first some back ground
    I still live with my mom because im in school and it was easier for me to have a job that would just pay for gas, insurance and maybe a few fun things now and then than a job that would actually pay enough for rent.

    My mother is very paranoid about bugs, because we lived in a few homes with infestation problems, so when we moved into this place we arranged for the land lord to pay for a monthly spraying (that we would pay extra in rent for) to maintain a bug free home.

    Once a month we get sprayed. But its not the same every month. So we get a call every month telling us when.

    My mom after getting this call didnt tell any of us this month. She cleaned the living room, but we all thought it was for visiting teachers. Im kind of messy and i tend to have some cleaning up to do for it to be able to sprayed. SO my room, the bath rooms and my sisters room are unable to be sprayed. Why my sisters room? Because she didnt know and was asleep. You cant spray when theres a half naked asleeping girl in the room.

    So im on the board reading storys and get a knock on the door. At the door is a man with a bottle and spray nosel. I stare at him. I say "Are you here to spray?' he says yes (he isnt the usual guy) I say huh, flip out my cell and call my mother.

    She says OPPS

    I chew her out and tell the guy at the door he can only spray the living room and kitchen but to please spray them anyways.

    i want to kill my mother.

    I got a kick out of your thread title.

    I have a similar story from when I was in university. My roommates, unbeknownst to me, had arranged for some repairs to be done. I woke up with a repair guy in my bedroom, going about his work as if he didn't even see me lying in bed.

    I was completely naked, so I couldn't get up. I asked him to leave for a minute so I could get dressed and he said "Oh, that's not necessary. I'll just be a minute." And he continues working (replacing the knob on my closet door, I think).

    Not necessary?! I was too stunned to say anything, I just hid under the covers until he left, and then called my roommates to yell at them.

    If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

      Forget roommates, I would have been calling the leasing office! I mean, it was inappropriate for him to be in your room while you were sleeping - maintenance request or not - but to not leave for a moment when you asked?

        I had a similar thing happen! We had our balconies redone, and since they could just climb a ladder outside to get to them, they didn't bother to check and see if anyone was home.

        I can sleep through just about anything, so I awoke and wandered out into my living room, to find a man working away on my balcony--he just waved when I looked at him. My first thoughts that day? "I'm so glad I put pants on this morning!"

          lol once my mom didnt know i was home (i came home , threw off my wet clothes and crawled under three blankets {i just came home from work when it was snowing/sleeting/freezing rain what ever you wanna call it} and fell asleep but when i didnt drive that day and locked the door when i got home.) and i woke up to a man spraying in my room. He blushed and ran out and my mom showed up and said "Oh your home!!"
          I really wish she would double check.

            That's one reason I'm no longer living with my parents. Imagine my surprise when I come home from work one evening...and find my bedroom totally trashed! All of the mortgage application paperwork I was working on had been moved, and some of it even disappeared Some of my models got damaged as well. Turns out that my father had the electrician come in to replace the plugs...and didn't bother telling anyone. He actually had *no* idea why we were upset with him! If he would have said "Hey, I have this guy coming in tomorrow" it wouldn't have been a problem to move things. However, he didn't, and just tossed things wherever. He's lucky I found the paperwork I was missing...otherwise, I'm sure I'd have not only *lost* my chance at the mortgage, but probably have strangled him too!

              I've had the maintenance-guy-in-my-bedroom-while-I'm-asleep problem too. A noise wakes me up, I groggily open my eyes, to find a mud-covered guy in overalls standing over me, staring at me.

              Then he had the gall to complain to dad that I'd clocked him in the head with a music box.

                My landlord scheduled a service to come trim the vines that grow up the front of my building (rather invasively - I can't close my windows because the damn things grow right into the frames), didn't tell anyone, so I wake up one morning (EEEEAAAAARLY!!!) to find a guy peeking in my window at me (I don't live on the ground floor, and I sleep naked). Not knowing who the guy was, I called the cops.

                  Oh good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who is rather hit and miss about pants when I'm at home
