LTJ is on his game. In his response to my post from yesterday, he wondered why the carpets weren’t replaced back in March within a / within the week, as the note promised. I have no idea. I live in a highly dysfunctional building. But the association added to its legacy today. Taped to the front and rear entrances is this note, attributed to the condo manager (or whatever his title is; he doesn’t live here):
Attention Residents:
The carpets have all been replaced. Please respect them.
Thank you,
[Asshole I won't name]
I’m bemused and mystified by this note. I have to respect the carpets? How? Should I engage them in polite smalltalk? Should I ask if they need anything from the store on my way out? Should I take off my shoes when entering the building? Were the old carpets disrespected? Did someone talk about them behind their back? They looked respected to me. No rips, tears, or holes. No online blog dedicated to libeling them. Strange, but it’s just another day in the life of the ”Washington Arms.”
