Anyone who knows me knows the 3-month saga of my upstairs neighbors. 3 months ago, just as fall was coming into full force, I kept hearing a-rumbling from upstairs . There was the pitter-patter of tiny feet. There was scratching. I figured, the Goth dude upstairs got a dog! And then I realized Goth dude lives in the front of the building, and I am in the back with no upstairs neighbor. What the H??
Every morning and every evening, all I heard was "scratch, scratch" around the lights in my kitchen and "skitter-skitter"in the ceiling over my kitchen and my bathroom. One morning I awoke to the lights hanging from wires in my kitchen. Disgusting. What if the animal fell through and hurt my little Rubity Toopsdale?
All in all I made about 10 phone calls to my landlord--Green Zang Properties-- and 6 phone calls to the emergency maintenence service, and 5,788 emails to my landlord... all in a panic. The exterminator came three times and STILL didn't get it right.
I was so pissed with the exterminator, with my slow-ass landlord, and the fact that after 3effing months I STILL had an animal my ceiling, that I made one final call to my landlord and chewed her out for a good 7 minutes. Threats were involved. Exterminator came that night...
The next day I called the exterminator and he told me in 7-10 days the family of squirrels would all be gone. Excuse me? The family of squirrels? That's foul.
I think I should be compensated for three months of disgust and anxiety, don't you? My landlord is so unpretty. But now I kind of feel sorry for my upstairs neighbors, though. I hope they have nuts.
