The Case of the Missing White Goods

Last Tuesday I did some washing. I knew it was time to do some, because my socks walked themselves to the washing pile and demanded to be washed!

I decided to finish off the washing on Friday, so I peeled the rest of the stuff that needed doing off the floor and took them to the utility room. I was amazed to find that the washer and drier had just vanished into thin air! I wondered if maybe, as it was thanksgiving, they had gone off on holiday together, but then I realised I was sober, and that doesn't happen in the real world. Then I wondered if I had been burgled, but realised my iPod, phone, laptop and TV were all still there. Maybe they have pretty filthy burglars in the USA?

I rang the agency (Execustay), and left a message on their out of hours number, but they hadn't rung back a few hours later, so I called them again. I got the answer machine again. This time I said that as no one had asked me for permission to enter my property and remove goods, I must assume that this was a break in, so unless I got called back within ten minutes, I would be reporting it to the police as theft. Less than a minute after putting the phone down I got called back :-)

Slack bastards....

They said they knew of no reason why my washer and dryer should have been taken, but home depot had been instructed to remove the items from apartment 1136 (im in 1236)

Dumb twats.....

Anyway, that was Friday. Its now Monday. Lets see how long it is before I get my stuff back!
Im going to make a point of ringing them every day and annoying them - Im really really good at that :-)

I also called tracfone last night to find out why its taken 6 weeks to send me a new SIM card. They reckon I should get it within 1 working day...Every day after that, Im going to turn up the super annoying dial :-)

And America reckons its strong point is its service industry...Hmmm not from where im sitting.
