[QUOTE="Lil, post: 648966, member: 17309"] :sigh: So today we got a call...AT CHURCH! As in he called the church and asked for us since we had our phones off! Now, to be fair, he really did have a problem. The bathroom sink has sprung a leak and was leaking into the baseboard heater and he was afraid it would short and start an electrical fire or something. The landlord is a joke. The place is, once again, crawling with cockroaches because he only sprayed the apartment and not the building so they came right back, we told him the day he moved in the main burner on the stove is out (there's a hole in the coil) and he hasn't ever even looked at it, and he has no emergency number and doesn't answer his phone. In fact, I left an urgent message at 11 a.m....seven hours ago...and he hasn't responded. But still... So I come home, find the lease, try my own phone call, then we go over and take a look since our son makes it sound like it's a flood. Yeah...not so much, just dripping. We can't fix it, so we duct tape a plastic bag to the wall directing the water into a bucket. (Again, to be fair, he had no duct tape or bucket, so it was more than he could do.) We looked about and asked if he'd like some hangers, since all their clothes are in the bottom of the closet. K wanted some so we got extras from the house. We also bought some Raid and some roach bait; we gave him a bug bomb the other day, but the neighbors asked him not to us it until they had some too, so we gave him the rest of the ones we had at home...we've had them years and never used them.
