Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ah, all right, is Mojo in the morning. Anna has
an issue with the maintenance guy. So what was wrong
in the apartment that needed to be done?

Speaker 2 (00:09):
This stinkin' washer dryer that takes six hours to dry.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
I still can't believe that it's.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Now leaking everywhere every time that I use it, Like,
not just a little bit of water. I put down
a bath towel, It's soaked within like an hour. So
I submitted a maintenance request. And yesterday I get home
from the show, probably around like noon or something. My
dryer is running and there's stuff in it, and I'm

(00:39):
at first I'm confused. I'm like, I didn't start a
load of laundry, and then I'm like, oh wait, I
submitted a request, the maintenance man must have started it.
Plus there's towels in it, so I'm like the maintenance
man took the towels put it in the dryer to
test it out. And then there were footprints all over too,
like muddy footprints. So I'm very upset with my maintenance
I think one they should have left me a note

(01:01):
saying what they did. So I didn't get home extremely
alarmed that there was an intruder and they touched her
d Yes, you're like granted it was the towel that
was on the floor that was soaking wet, but I
still thought that was weird.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
Wait wait, wait, he did your laundry for you? No,
do you understand? And I want somebody touching my towels
and underwear. I want to know what apartment complex that
is because I want to get an apartment there where
the apartment people do your laundry for it.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Well, he should have mopped the floor too, because he
left a mess. And I'm so mad at them. But
my friends say that I'm being like, like doing.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Too much another Karen moment here, not me, It's them.
So I want to ask this question because I bet
you there's some people that have this too. Are there
any listeners that have ever had the maintenance guy come
to your apartment to do something? And what did you
catch them doing? I want to know what they they've
ever done?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Can I just add to the story? So this morning
I woke up, guess what, there's a puddle of water
next to my drive. So it's not even fair.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
So if if somebody enters your apartment, they don't have
to send you a text or call you and get
the mission for.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
You, because I immediately went to the leasing office and
I said, hey, I just have a few comments for you,
and I told them and she was like, one, they
should have left you a note and they should have
wore shoe covers, and I'm like, thank you, Why why
did they not?

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You gotta have a shoe booty's on. I know you
have a big basket of them, don't you. That's rum
shoe booty.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
About to submit another maintenance request because it's still broken.
I'm gonna leave shoe covers next to the door because
I have them too.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
We did a phone scam back in the day the
apartment maintenance guy, where we called the person up who
was supposed to have apartment stuff done and called up
and made it seem like the apartment maintenance guy was
inside the house going through the refrigerator, doing all kinds
of stuff like going through you know, your your drawers.
I wonder if any apartment maintenance guys have ever gone

(02:59):
through through women's drays.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Yes, absolutely, And now I'm wondering that, like, what else
did he do if he was touching my towels and
starting the machine?

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Is your apartment maintenance thing? Or your apartment as high tech,
like my son Joe's in Tampa. So Joe's in Tampa
has an app and he goes to the app and
it basically will It's the coolest thing ever. And it's
basically like ordering door dash or whatever or an uber.
You go in there and you basically call for it.

(03:30):
You say that you have an issue. It shows every
room in his place, and it's like, what's the issue?
The issue is in the kitchen? Is the issue in
the kitchen? And you give choices dishwasher, refrigerator, whatever, and
he hits the thing and it goes on there and
it goes, it goes, and it will show you the
time of when they will be up there, and it
counts down a countdown thing, and they will guarantee that

(03:53):
they come there. It's pretty cool. Apartment guy coming up
to your house to do your towels for you. Hold on, Brianna,
what did you have happened to you with a maintenance guy?

Speaker 4 (04:05):
So I had a maintenance fan come to my house
and he was supposed to repaint our bathroom, but somehow
he fell backwards and he broke our toilet. And we
had no idea any of this happened. He proceeded to leave,
buy a brand new toilet, bring it back, and install
it without us ever knowing, and then he made my
landlord that he.

Speaker 5 (04:24):
Broke it a new toilet, right, I fell backwards and broke.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
What would you rather come back to a new toilet
or the man dead with a pile of blood, or
you know, right around him and your toilet.

Speaker 6 (04:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I guess the first one.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I guess that's it's actually nice that he did that. Natalie,
what's up? It's moch on the morning from Morning moder
in the morning, Good morning.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
I'm good, Thank you so much. I had an experience
where I had moved into this one bedroom apartment and
it was really small, as my first apartment ever, and
they put a note on our door saying that they
were going to come in the next couple of days
to replace the entire front door. So I thought they
would like call and let me know a time or something.

(05:15):
So I wake up one morning at like eight am
and I opened the door to my bedroom and I'm
just in my underwear because I've been sleeping, and there
was a dude in my like apartment I had never
seen before.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Wait, I'm sorry that you opened the door to your
apartment or your door? What do you mean? So did
you were you opening the door night?

Speaker 8 (05:37):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
You open your door? Oh okay, So you just woke
up thinking I'm going to walk out in my living
area in my undies and there's some.

Speaker 8 (05:48):
There.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
You thought something else was going on?

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Yeah? Was he a good looking.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
I don't know. I splammed the door and started freaking out.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I can't believe the guy, the maintenance guy wouldn't worry
about that happening if he knew he was going into
a woman's apartment that something could happen. What's up, mindy?

Speaker 8 (06:05):
Hi, I'm out, don't how's everything going?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's great, Mindy? You got yourself a voice on you?

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Were you?

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Were you a little screaming last night at the TV?
Or what's happening?

Speaker 8 (06:16):
I have a projectile voice module.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
I like it, you know what? My mom? My mom
had one too, and it was always yelling at me
what's going on?

Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (06:26):
Me too?

Speaker 3 (06:27):
I handle Landmark One time come in my house while
I was gone to work and I needed flooring replaced
in my bathroom and I didn't know he was coming.

Speaker 8 (06:37):
I come home. He had cut the boards out right
in my bathroom, all my toothbrushes, everything was covered in
sod off. Yeah, I came home from work that way.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
What did you do? Did you run down yell at him,
or did you get on the phone and say, I'm
not being my month rent some for slander?

Speaker 8 (06:54):
I want to pick him off. And I just cleaned
up the.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Mess and I never called him again unless I knew
I was going to be home. But it was a
nightmare to clean up. I had two little kids, and
everything in there was this coloring.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
A bad landlord can really ruin your life, you know
what I mean? Like that? Yeah, Yeah, that's that's the worst.
And sometimes I don't know what's the worst landlord. A
privately owned guy that just like is making some money
on the side, or one of these big old rental
companies that they have out there. You know, sometimes it
can be that, you know, one is better than the other.
What's up, Jackie?

Speaker 6 (07:29):
Okay? So I was about seven eight months pregnant. It
was the middle of June. I had put in multiple
tickets to the maintenance mean to fix our AC units.
So during the day the one day I ended up
taking a nap, I was completely naked in my room
with the door shut. I wake up to my husband
yelling at me, asking why I sleeping naked with someone

(07:52):
in the apartment.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh, no, there's.

Speaker 6 (07:55):
No one in the apartment. Well here, it was a
maintenance guy walked into the apartment and decided just to
start fixing the ac after coming into my bedroom.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh my no, wait, did he see you naked?

Speaker 8 (08:07):
I think he did.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
You're pretty sure because the bedroom door was open when
my husband got home.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
I want to hear from a maintenance worker, like, what's
protocol if you walk into a house and you see
something like that, because usually they ask you if they
can enter without like someone being home. So if someone's
not answering.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Here's the deal, Jackie. Out of that whole thing, the
thing that would have bothered Kevin the most would have
been not that you were naked and he saw you,
was that if he didn't have shoe booties. Huh be
worried about two booties? By the way, And I know
you were pregnant at the time, So I don't think
that that is in porn. But that sounds like the

(08:48):
start of a porn, doesn't it. Like the guy walks
in and I'm laying on the bed naked, the air
conditioning units broken. I'm here. Boom. You know, your husband
calls up on the phone. Next thing you know, scene
to your husband joins you. Guys, you're pretty way too

(09:10):
much thought of this. I'm just saying, I think I've
seen that before. But all right, well, thank you for
the calling. I appreciate it. I lost Jack. Hopefully she
not in the car with her kids.
