Why must people half-ass stuff? [View All]

[Reverend_Smitty]

I moved into my on campus apartment last week to find that the place was trashed. Apparently 5 guys had the place last year and they did not give a damn about their living conditions. The floors and cabinets were all sticky, the bathroom was filthy complete with peeling paint and broken tiles. There was a giant whole in the wall, some electrical outlets were missing covers (yep exposed wires folks) and the internet jack in my bedroom was broken. (it was pushed into the wall and only one of two jacks were working). And don't even get me started on what the mattresses looked like.

So of course my roommate and I complain to res life on Wed.(there are 4 of us total but only 2 of us are here early). So I come back to the apartment today (I went home last night) to find that some of the stuff was fixed. The hole in the wall was patched (so that saves me nightmares of giant rats crawling out of it), the tiles were fixed but the peeling paint remains along with the filthy floors and tub. The internet jack was fixed but still only one side works. The exposed wires remain as do the dirty mattresses (we pawned them off to our other roommates and kept the two newer ones). Instead of doing all the stuff that needs to be done in one shot they half-assed the job and now I must call and complain some more in the morning. (we were promised that our apartment would be cleaned by Thursday afternoon...and it is now almost Tuesday) I hate res life and I hate living in this glorified crack house...it's going to be an interesting year.
