Apparently everyone on my floor has trouble with pests besides me, because I got what must have been my sixth note under my door this morning telling me that management will be sending someone in to spray for pests in my apartment. They’re stepping it up this time though. In this note, as if they were asking me to take a couple minutes to floss tonight, they asked me to:
- Remove all items from kitchen drawers and cabinets.
- Clear everything off of the floor of my closets.
- Move everything away from the floorboards in my apartment.
Funny thing - that sort of comprises 90% of the things that I own. So here’s the tricky part… where do I put all this stuff, if pretty much every space in my apartment is off limits? And how do they think this wouldn’t be imposing? I don’t know if you’ve seen the size of my apartment, but there’s not exactly a lot of room to put everything in the middle of my apartment. At least they gave me a week to prepare, but still… surely I have better things to do. Plus, it’s not like it’s my fault that there’s a pest problem in the first place.
Hey, at least they’re taking care of… pests, instead of letting the bugs/rodents multiply. Which is it, anyway? giant cockroaches or giant rats? I hope they’re mutant, either way.
I’m with Alexis - be thankful they’re spraying - and anyway, you don’t have to pick up all your dirty clothes - you can just leave them on your closet floor but they’ll smell like insecticide forever after!
