This story was just too good to keep to myself.
This past Sunday, I get a call from a tenant telling me that they have dropped their cell phone into the washing machine and would like for me to bring them a screwdriver so they can get it out of there. I told them...after a few chosen words that I would be right over.
So I get there and look in the washing machine and ask where in the hell is the phone. She said that she didn’t need it out of the washing machine, she needed a screwdriver to take the back off of her phone so it could dry out. Well I went off. I asked her if I was wearing a bell boy outfit. She replied with a very confused look...no. I asked her if there was a sign on this building that said "Four Seasons Hotel" She again replied no. So I said that this incident didn’t constitute a maintenance emergency and that she would have to pay me for coming over there on a Sunday. She then tells me to ask her sister what is wrong with the toilet.
Her sister tells me that the toilet will not flush. The other one jumps up and down and says, "Tell her why it won’t flush. Go on tell her." So of course I am on the edge of my seat in suspense at this point. The lady replies, "I think I flushed my false teeth down the toilet." I glanced at her with this WTF look and said, "What do you mean you THINK? Either you did or didn’t...there is no think." (Yeah I know...a major Jedi Master Yoda moment there.) So I explain to the dear woman that I will not be able to get a plumber over there until Monday.
Monday comes and the plumber goes over there. He comes by my office to get paid and I ask him, "Well...did you find false teeth in the toilet?" He looks at me and grins, "Hell I found both sets." Of course I just die laughing.
Today my phone rings and its the same tenant. She tells me that the plumber did indeed find her teeth and, (in a very redneck elderly accent) "You won’t believe this. Not one tooth was damaged so I have had them soaking in bleach now for the past day and I believe I can wear them by tomorrow." I was completely speechless and replied, "Well that's nice."
