I don’t think so ….
Our pipes froze in the kitchen the other day and we had no water at all. Not even a droplet would come out of the faucet. Our landlord called Jaime (my roommate) and Jaime informed her of the frozen pipes. She (our landlord) asked that we open the faucet a bit so the pipes don’t burst. We did that. Last night I placed a space heater under the kitchen cabinets in hopes of thawing out the pipes. It didn’t work.
Today, around noon Jaime called me after she got home from work and asked me if I borrowed her hair-dryer. I hadn’t. She said she just got home and the dead-bolt was locked (which I didn’t lock when I left) and her hair-dryer was missing. I asked if the sink was running. She said it was. Instead of assuming someone had broken into our house to steal a hair-dryer, we concluded that our landlord had been here and used her hair-dryer to thaw out the pipe, and had left. Except the hair-dryer was nowhere to be found.
So Jaime called our landlord and she told Jaime that one of her service guys had been there and he thought it would be a good idea to take the hair-dryer with him to fix other frozen pipes. WTF? In addition, Jaime found my hair-dryer laying on the steps.
So … someone came into our house, who works for our landlord, who we do not know. He came into our bedrooms and took our hair-dryers, and he left. This is all without a single phone call to either of us from our landlord stating that somebody was coming over.
Is this not a total invasion of privacy and unauthorized borrowing of someone elses belongings? Seriously, if I would have come home to find some strange guy in our house trying to take off with our hair-dryers, I would have pulled out my mace and …. well he’s pretty darn lucky.
Ughh
I WAS SO PISSED! I think rightfully so. It doesn’t help that I’m always on edge. I just wish someone would have called and that they WOULD NOT have gone into our bedrooms. Or taken my hairdryer and used it at other people’s houses. That is way effed up. I heart you.
