Dear So and So...Really Crappy Situation

Dear Letting Agents,
Thanks for not letting us know we have a septic tank when we moved into the property. You know, it is really awesome when your toilets don't want to flush. I just love plunging crappy toilets to get them to clear out.
Still Hating You, Kat

Dear Septic Tank Guy,
Thanks for coming and doing well, nothing really. Yes, you got the sludge out of the bottom of the tank, but you never actually got rid of the problem that was messing up my toilets. Then you had the nerve to slap me with a £85 bill for 5 minutes of work.
You SUCK! Kat
---------------

Dear Partner of my Land Lady,
Thanks for coming over at 7pm last night and using your tools to snake out the pipes in my back yard. You not only fixed the problem in about 15 minutes, but you were really nice about it. You are completely awesome and I am now flushing my toilets without fear of turds.
I Totally Owe You A Beer, Kat
---------------

Dear English Weather,
I am aware that it is heading towards winter. I expect cold and I know England is known for prolific rain, but I really need a break. I am tired of being soggy all the time. Hey, I know! How about drop the temperature a couple more degrees so we could at least get snow out of the deal and maybe school would be cancelled a day and I could get some really cute pictures of the girls playing in the snow. Sound like a deal?
Soaked to the Bone, Kat
---------------

Dear Readers,
Thank you so much for coming by each week to read the Dear So and So letters. I really appreciate it. If you have your own letters, please link up with Mr, Linky so we can spread the So and So love.
You Guys are Completely the Most Awesome of Awesome Readers, Kat

That is one crappy situation! I'm glad that it got cleared, but what a pain to get it that way.

So the professionals suck and you have to get a layman to do the job. Sweet! I raise my glass to him as well.

I'll second that letter to the weather, providing it'll make the snow bad enough to stop the Northern line from running. Then both me and the boy will be happy.

When we were landlords, we had to fix the plumbing problems. I remember your papa going out one cold Christmas morning to unclog a line that the tenant had flushed dirty diaper down. He was not in a good mood when he got home. Needless to say that when we sold those houses, we praised the Lord and had a little drink.

I would ask the landlord to pay the plumbing bill. It seems the problem started before you moved into the house . Next time call the landlord before you call the plumber.

Kisses.

Granny

Hate to tell you this - the weather can stay the same until, well, next summer really. You are going to hate the winter...

As someone whose father-in-law has been known to clamber inside septic tanks to remove used drapers flushed by stupid tenants I fully sympathise.

We lived in two apartments in a row that had never ending toilet problems, UGH. I hate that, I'd rather have anything else wrong, just don't mess with my ability to use the bathroom!

So glad I don't have a septic tank on my property. But I've about had it with the wet weather here in PA also.

Michelloui · 800 weeks ago

It sometimes seems to take so long to get settled into a new place, doesnt it?! Argh!! Glad it got sorted. And I have to say Granny is right, call the landlord first next time, its their responsibility to sort all this out, not yours (unless its your fault!). But then again, hopefully there won't be a next time!!
