Pitching a Tent (Part Two)

I know I know the suspense is killing you so here comes the funny!

1) Crazy Senorita: Back Story..this lady is always a problem knocking on random people’s door yelling at them that they are in her apt (they are not), losing her teeth then digging for them in the dumpster, and reporting things that have not happened (don’t pity her she will come up in a future blog) anyway the day of the tenting I wanted to check on her to make sure she was gone. The entire complex was vacant, and the pest control company began checking units. I watched as a cab pulled up and she got in it with a small trash bag. no clothes... nothing. I then see it pull down the street stop and she jumps out looks both ways and runs back into her apt... At this point she thinks that she is slick and doesn’t see me... I wait about 10 minutes I go to knock on her door and the cab driver pulls up screaming for her to come down. She then comes to the door pretending to just wake up and I usher her out and suggest she take clothes.

2) Genius: I left everyone bags to double bag all of their food except for new bottles and Jars. What does this lady do? She bags up all of her cups, plates, knifes, forks, spoons, cups and wait for it... Pillows and puts them in the refrigerator and does not bag up any food at all.

Update:

Spider Girl: Called minutes before the tenting began in a panic because she stayed at her boyfriends house the night before and forgot the spider... Because I’m a nice person I went into the unit but found no spider... he/she must have read the notice and left.

Mr. VHS: Surprisingly no tapes were tampered with.

Crazy Senorita: Survived… (Stay tuned an upcoming blog will be about her)

Genius: Lost all of her food but had clean cups, plates, knifes forks, spoons, cups and Pillows.

Pitching a Tent (Part One)

One of the properties recently had to be tenting for termites yadda yadda yadda (common in FL) this is where it get’s interesting. I have four residents that rose above the rest and were shining stars.. meet the first two.

1) Mr. VHS: Stopped me in the parking lot to express how upset he was that we were tenting the building, and asked if we could just “skip” his unit. The reason? He was concerned about the “Valuables” I use that term loosely in his unit and requested that I come inside so he could show me why he was so worried. Since he made it such a big deal I was expecting a huge plasma TV, expensive electronics or massive stereo system. but no... It was so much better that I could have imagined... It was... a wall (literally) of VHS tapes.) He was looked at me and said “Now can you see why I am so worried about a pest control company coming in here? Look at all of my one of a kind VHS tapes. You can’t by these anymore!” I giggled then realized he was serious. I assured him not to worry.

2) Spider Girl: Bumped into me a couple days before the tenting, and had a couple of questions. She first wanted to know if she really really had to be out while the tent was on the building. Next she wanted to know if it would kill bugs? Why you ask? I asked the same thing and this is what she told me. “Since I moved into this unit there has been this cute little spider in my bathroom, that made a cute little tiny web and I don’t want him to die” I looked at her and said “ugh... yes I’m sorry it will kill bugs that’s kinda the whole point” she looked confused so I suggested she go to PETCO and purchase a little insect tank so that she could keep him or her.
