Tina, Room T47, Third Floor
Tina: “Ack! What are these red splotches on my arm?!?”
“BEDBUG BITES?? That good-for-nothing landlord told me there’d be zero bedbugs! And I paid EXTRA for that! Like, a lot extra!
“Ok, what is his email? I am going to give that landlord a piece of my mind!”
Dear Mr. Landlord,
Hi. This is Tina from room T47. When will you get rid of the bedbugs? Yesterday, I moved in. This morning, I found ten bedbug bites on my arm! And I paid extra for a room with no bugs! Please do something about this.
Oh, he replied already? Maybe he’s more responsible than I thought…
Dear Tenant,
Don’t worry. We will take care of it.
-The Landlord
Tina: “Well, that’s just great! An automated message? Is he on vacation or something?”
“I heard Hawaii is a pretty good vacation spot. Maybe he’s in Hawaii. Maybe I should go on vacay sometime, too. It could help with the stress of being a journalist.
“I hope he solves the problem soon.”
Five minutes before Tina’s bedbug situation:
Emmy, Room T46, Third Floor
Emmy: “YUCK! What is THAT!”
Johnny (husband): “Huh?”
Emmy: “JOHNNY! THAT IS SOME KIND OF BUG!”
Johnny: “I’ll get it!”
Emmy: “MY LAPTOP!!!”
Tina: “GAH!”
Tina: “I’ll get you, landlord! Because of you, I have a GAPING HOLE in the wall!”
Emmy: “Uh, he can’t hear you. He’s in Hawaii.”
