!@#$%^&*!!@@##$$%%^^&&**!@#$%^&*!@#$%^&*!!@@##$$%%^^&&**!@#$%^&*!!!!!!

@#$%^&*! IDIOTS RUINING MY ENTIRE @#$%^&*! WEEK!!!!!!

I want to scream and throw things, or cry, but I'm too civilized to do either so that just leaves me with no outlet.

My @#$%^&*! idiotic apartment people did not fix my air conditioner on Thursday, and even though they're @#$%^&*! supposed to work until 5:00 p.m., they'd already left by the time I got home at 4:40 p.m. so I couldn't ask them why. So I get home again today and it's @#$%^&*! still 95 degrees in here, and I go to the rental office and demand to know why, and the @#$%^&*! idiots shuffle through their stupid @#$%^&*! paperwork for a few minutes and inform me that the whole thing needs to be replaced and it's going to take a few days to get the parts, except then they go, "Wait a minute, that's not you, you're this one, and the problem in this one is - oh, well, see, the air conditioner inspection person arrived on Thursday but he couldn't go inside because he didn't have your permission to enter."

HE.
FUCKING.
@#$%^&*!
DID.

TOO.

HAVE.
MY.
FUCKING.
@#$%^&*!
PERMISSION.
TO.
ENTER.


ONLY. ON. ABOUT. TEN. @#$%^&*! MILLION. FORMS. I'VE. SIGNED. OVER. THE. PAST. THREE. YEARS. I'VE LIVED. HERE. PLUS. ON. THE. @#$%^&*! NOTE. I. SHOVED. THROUGH. YOUR. RENT. DROP. SLOT. THURSDAY. MORNING. SINCE. YOU. WEREN'T. AT. WORK. AT. THE. TIME. YOU. WERE. SUPPOSED. TO. BE. YOU. FUCKING @#$%^&*! UNBELIEVABLE IDIOTS DAMN. YOU!!!!!!

Apartment Management Idiot: We . . . oh. Hmm. We . . . well. We got, see, we got a new . . . maintenance company, see? And. And, like. Well. Because they don't, see, well, they don't have the, you know. They don't have the signed forms. So.

BECAUSE. YOU. DIDN'T. FUCKING. @#$%^&*! GIVE. THEM. THE. SIGNED. FORMS. YOU. FUCKING. @#$%^&*! IDIOTS.

NOR. DID. YOU. POSESS. SUFFICIENT. @#$%^&*! INTELLIGENCE. TO. @#$%^&*! FIGURE. OUT. THAT. I. MIGHT. BE. IN. SOMETHING. OF. A. @#$%^&*! HURRY. TO. GET. MY. @#$%^&*! AIR. CONDITIONER. FIXED. ON. A. WEEK. WHEN. IT'S. BEEN. 100. FUCKING. @#$%^&*! DEGREES. AND. THAT. THEREFORE. YOU. SHOULD. TRY. MAYBE. FUCKING @#$%^&*! CALLING. ME. AT. WORK. WITH. THOSE. PHONE. NUMBERS. I. KNOW. YOU. HAVE. ON. FILE. OR. EVEN. FUCKING. @#$%^&*! LEAVING. A. SIMPLE. @#$%^&*! NOTE. ON. MY. @#$%^&*! FRONT. DOOR. LIKE. YOU. ARE. SO. GOOD. AT DOING. WHENEVER. YOU. WANT. TO. NOTIFY. ME. THAT. THE. @#$%^&*! RENT. HAS. INCREASED. ANOTHER @#$%^&*! TIME.


Note: in reality I did not say any of this, because I am, as previously mentioned, ridiculously overcivilized to an extremely inconvenient extent. I did, however, roll my eyes emphatically and sigh loudly.

Apartment Management Idiot: We . . . oh. Hmm. We . . . well. Because, see, it's, like, the, you know, weekend, now. And, like. We'll, you know. We'll call them, see. And they'll, you know. They'll be here.

Me: WHEN?!?!?!

Apartment Management Idiot: Well . . . oh. Hmm. You know, like. Monday. See?

Me: [*****GLARE. SNARL. GNASHING OF TEETH.****]

Apartment Management Idiot: But the weather's supposed to be very nice this weekend!

HOW. ABOUT. IF. WE. TRADE. RESIDENCES. FOR. THE. WEEKEND. THEN. AND. YOU. CAN. SIT. AROUND. ENJOYING. THE. OH. SO. NICE. WEATHER. IN. THE. ABSENCE. OF. AN. AIR. CONDITIONER.

In other news, my @#$%^&*! $12,000 car doesn't even get @#$%^&*! FM radio, and the CD player does not possess "skip forward" or "skip backwards" capability. This is despite the fact that all the buttons which are supposed to switch to FM, skip forwards and skip backwards do exist, and also despite the fact that the people selling me the car specifically said it possessed AM/FM radio and I even looked at the buttons to make sure before I bought it, because my previous car only had AM radio and I have done without FM radio for quite long enough already.

Again, I want to scream and throw things, or cry.

Yeah, fuckheads.

call the dealership and complain.

I'm so sorry... I empathize with your frustrations, and you have every right to feel as you do... you seem to have handled it better than I would! I hope you feel better soon...

sending some nice, cool NY air to sacramento

hi gayle,
so sorry to hear about the air conditioning problems...having grown up in TX, i know all about the lovely heat waves and perpetual sweating...i feel so lucky that it's only about 75 or so up here in upstate NY, and i wish i could blow some of this cool air your way!! ;-) best of luck staying cool and dealing with incompetent service people!! (we have a few of those up here.)
c-ya,

as long as there was "gnashing of teeth" you will be just fine. *cheer up* kt

That's why you're going to the cafe--you need to escape! :-)

"There, there, poor Gayle" seems woefully inadequate. If I could come over and fix it, I would, but I can't even seem to outwit the common sand flea. I did ask my clueless apartment manager if she'd be willing to trade houses with me.

*sigh* I think that when apartment complexes are hiring staff, they screen out anyone who seems to have a trace of empathy.

I think you need to talk to your car dealership about the stereo--you didn't get what they were offering. And of course, there's also SoundAdvice when you can afford that.

Hold on, stay strong...

Those buttons I mentioned didn't work? Take that shit to the dealership!! It's all about the warranty. :)

Oh, and although your AC dilemma doesn't sound pleasant, your entry made me laugh. I. like. it. when. people. emphasize. the. forcefulness. of. their. entries. with. periods. between. each. word.

[identity profile] queerbychoice.livejournal.com 2002-06-01 09:54 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, the buttons don't do a thing. Oddly enough, I was on the phone to the dealership at the exact same moment that you must have been leaving this comment. Follow-up journal entry forthcoming.

chill the fuck out.

a good majority of the entire planet lives without air conditioning, apartments, fm radio...

god. damn.

Yes but this majority is not paying as much as Gayle for said priveledges :) When you're paying for these things and they should be available, it's very frustrating that you're being deprived of them because of somebody else's incompetence.
