Dear City Water Dept.

with 12 comments

I hate you.  I hate you i hate you I HATE YOU.

I just thought you should know that.  You’ve been on my dislike list for a very long time (oh, since that february where we didn’t have water for two week.  remember that?  well I do.) but you’ve really done it now.  I don’t think I can EVER forgive you this time.

We are people of modest means.  And I’ve been SO frugal lately, not buying stuff we don’t need.

But when we finally got our downstairs bathroom done, I thought we needed new towels as a reward for all our hard work.  And since Chris had just raved over the soft, fluffy whiteness of the towels at the Bellagio, that’s what I decided to get.  White, fluffy towels.  Big ones.  Expensive ones.  Well deserved cushy towels for all out hard work saving, paying down debt, and getting that bathroom done.

So what did you go and do?!?!?  Something that filled the water lines with dirty, nasty water.  When?  On Monday….MY WHITE CUSHY FLUFFY TOWEL WASHING DAY.  THEY ARE RUINED.  JUST RUINED.  NASTY BROWN SPOTS AND STRIPES.    It looks like some ogre wiped his butt on my bathtowels.

Can you not give a person notice??  A little letter in the mail or automated phone call or something?  SOMETHING???

And I know it was you.  Don’t try to deny it.  Oh….I didn’t figure it out in time to save my towels, but hindsight is 20/20.  The funky looking water in the upstairs toilet yesterday that made me wonder if someone had a butt explosion they ought to tell me about…..but Celia claimed she knew nothing of.  That poor girl was interrogated half the morning on if she felt okay when it wasn’t her at ALL.  And the lovely surprise bubbles in the water line that make the water sputter and spray when I least expect it today.  Yeah, that’s you too.

You are on my list now.  It’s ON.
