Toilet Fiasco

It's a wonderful feeling to wake up and see that your bathroom has an inch of standing water in it. On Thursday afternoon, I made a call to maintenance to report that our toilet was not flushing. They came later that day to "fix" it, but didn't do a damn thing, so I again made a call and reported that our toilet still didn't flush. They came back and actually fixed the problem...sorta. Yes, the toilet flushed, but we found out Saturday morning that the pipes on the toilet were not tightened by maintenance causing a rather large leak. The third call brought an emergency plumber to our room as well as a promise from maintenance that they would clean up the water. At 11 pm on Saturday night, the cleaning was finished, thanks to the roommates help, NOT maintenance. All in all, we are out two carpets (the one in the bathroom and one in the living area of the suite mate's room), 11 towels, 5 t-shirts, 7 rolls of toilet paper, and a wasted Saturday afternoon!
