Would you know what to do? By Margaret Leora Workman; Warponie Art

Today I received a call from code enforcement AKA the police! I was trying to come up with the answer right away as to why? They would call! I just weeded-eated the yard! I have a truck that’s mine that is plated out of state! Is that it I wondered?? Too much dog poop in the back yard? I just raked! what could it be?? Well, you do know that I rent rooms to people, and they have been telling me that their toilet has been plugged up off and on and they act like I should be worried and how sorry they are to have ruined my day with that subject. But each time I am seriously confused when they tell me. I told them, “look peeps, I am not in charge of your bathroom activities. You are in charge of your own bathroom now.” Good job. They have also told me that the sink gets plugged up! Ok, but you have the facial hair that you continually shave into the sink and you wash it down. But see there is a little pea trap that the sink has and it collects into that. I have told them how to get that out! You just give it a good pull and there it is! Just release that hair from that party that they are in, in the pea trap, into the trash. Easy! But they want me to come over I guess and clean up after them by plunging their own toilet and getting rid of the hair in the pea trap. I don’t even know how to spell that! What if I, the landlord, lived in a different town? Would you still wonder what to do with yourselves?? Seriously you are adults. Code enforcement said they didn’t even know the details of the situation and I asked them why they were calling me then?? Is this covered under code enforcement?? This is the police right?? Did they call 911?? So this code enforcement guy took the time to threaten me about how it’s my responsibility to take care of that. Uh what?? It’s their toilet, their bathrooming activities. So now are they going to fine me because I didn’t worship code enforcement on this issue?? I was so nervous I was falling all over my words but completely aghast as to their nerve in calling me to plunge the three grownup men’s toilet. So, I went over there, and one guy wouldn’t open the door. He just had given his notice but it’s less than the 10 days that I specified so no he will not get the deposit back! And now the other guy has given his less than 10 days’ notice as well. No, no returned deposit! These men expect me to be their…what? Yes, I am the landlord but sheesh! So, I plunged their toilet because it needed to be and code enforcement was threatening me. It literally took 2 minutes. It’s been in there for a while. So now what?? What would you do??
