You just got served!

Hilarious. I was at home trying my hand at making this Russian dessert (Pirojki) which is pretty much a baked dumpling which I wanted to modify by putting in fruit topping on the inside. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get any, so I tried using jelly instead.
Long story short, make sure you've tried the food at least once before trying to modify. I thought I could just switch out the meat filling with fruit and it would be OK. Nope. Definitely a fail.

Anyways, so I'm in the middle of trying to make this and there's a knock on my door. I go and this guy w/ a stack of papers asks if he can tape these papers to the inside of my door. That sounds kinda weird, since he could just as easily just give me the papers, so I ask him what they were. He seems a bit flustered and he just tells me to read it and tries backing out as quickly as possible. I keep the door open and quickly open one of the stapled papers and at the top there's a giant NOTICE TO VACATE at the top. Holy crap! What the heck? I skim the letter and it claims that we had not paid our rent yet and had 3 days to vacate the apartment.

My mind is racing, but I remember everyone giving Matt the rent a couple weeks ago. As I'm reading the letter, the guy is knocking on the apartment across the hall and hands the guy the same letter. I realize that the stack of papers he's holding are actually all eviction notices, which totally doesn't make sense, because we are not all delinquents. I call out to the guy as he took a couple steps to leave, and he seriously looks scared. (haha!)

Hey man, I think there's some kind of mixup cuz we definitely paid our rent a couple weeks ago.

"Ummm, I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this."

Well, this is something pretty serious, we're being asked to get evicted. Is there anyone we can talk to?

"Uhhh yeah sorry. Umm, here call this number XXX-XXX-XXXX. They'll sort it all out for you."

*I notice the giant stack of eviction notices in his hand*


Ok... don't you think that it's kind of funny that you guys are serving all these people eviction notices? Could there be a mixup with the office?


"Hey, I'm sorry, I don't have anything to do with this, I'm just the messenger!"

Austin Apartments Suck.
1. ant infestation
2. shoddy internet connection
3. bad management
4. trying to evict paying tenants
What else can happen?

  1. they could have not told us that the rent was not prorated and we would have to pay $1125 for a week's worth of occupancy... oh wait, they did that last year to us.
