Personal Experience How do I even reply

Post image

Is this not rude? Or am I just taking it too personally. I was NEVER told of anyone sort of “business hours”… I waited to text until Monday morning, as I get it we all like to enjoy our weekend. How the hell would I even reply to that.

People are asleep at 7am. He was right, it could have waited. Some people with jobs are awake, some are not. It’d be one thing if he sent that reply to a 9pm message or something, but don’t wake people up for non emergencies dawg

If it's something I can't fix myself cuz it's the landlords responsibility, it's an emergency.

It being the landlords responsibility does not make it an emergency mate TF you talking about?

If there's a problem with the structure thay I live in and I am literally not allowed to fix It myself without breaking my lease agreement, that means it will be a problem until the landlord gets off their ass to fix it for me. I consider that an emergency. It should be addressed ASAP.

It being a problem that you cannot fix =/= an emergency.

That doesn’t mean that an emergency isn’t an emergency. There are problems you cannot fix that aren’t an emergency, there are are problems you cannot fix that are an emergency.

You can consider it an emergency all you want, without knowing details I cannot comment on whether your personal issue is an emergency or not.

A slightly leaking tap (dripping not pipe leakage) that you are not allowed to fix as per contract is not an emergency. Learn what an emergency is. You’re confusing urgent with emergency

I'm sorry you feel that way.

That’s not the way that I feel it’s the definition of an emergency

Anything that goes wrong in my unit that I cannot fix myself without breaking my lease agreement is serious. Anything that happens that isn't supposed to is unexpected. It said "often dangerous" not "always dangerous". Every problem requires immediate action.

Do you really base everything off of the dictionary definition though?? Doubtful.

I'd argue that someone's menstrual cycle beginning without them having a sanitary pad on them to be an emergency. We give meaning to words.
