- Yes, I agree. Curtis the landlord was evil.
-
- I lived with Nev for 2 months -- he was there for only one of them. After he
- left, the interesting things started happening. You can imagine my suprise
- when one Tuesday I got a knock on the door at 8 am (!!) and being the nice
- person I am, I answered in sweatshirt/pants, as politely as I could.
-
- "Whaddya want?"
-
- "We've come to take your toilet."
-
- "huh?"
-
- "You know, your toilet. The thing-ah-ma-bob you sit on."
-
- "oh."
-
- So while I went and IRCed for the morning (class was looking unattractive
- that day) Curtis the evil landlord and his short
- henchman-whose-name-I-never-did-figure-out came in with wrench, hammer, etc,
- and removed my toilet.
-
- This was not a problem until I needed to relieve myself if that god-awful
- can of lemonade I drank that morning. Venturing into the washroom, there
- resided a hole about 4 inches in diameter, of which I had no hope of hitting
- unless I laid on top of it.
-
- All I can say is thank you for McDonalds :-)
