say goodbye.

So last night when Jake and I were getting ready for bed we came upon the problem of our toilet not being able to flush. (which is weird, because that toilet has had the best man power i've ever seen. plus we didn't do anything to clog it). We finally had to open up the plunger package that we bought from bed bath and beyond like 8 months ago and jake started plunging.
not only did the plunging not unclog the toilet at all but whenever he would plunge dirty water would start to rise in the bathtub.
gross.
after like 10 minutes of doing this we get a knock on our front door and it's the couple that lives below us. they were wondering what all the noise was and were wondering why a stream of dirty water would leak through their ceiling every time the noise (plunging) was going on.
gross.
then our next door neighbors piped out their door that dirty water has been coming up their tub for the past hour.
gross.
so we call our landlords, they tell us they have a plumber ready to come out in the morning. and then today i get this email:

Dear Tennants
The problem was that there was a clog in the main waterline.  The toilet in 47 had to be pulled in order for the plumber to unclog the main waterline. The toilets in 47, 49 and 55 all had to have new wax seals put on. The 45 and 57 units will have their floor looked at sometime later today by a restoration company and sometime later this week after the ceiling has dried out we will have a contractor come out and replace/repair the drywall that was effected.

can I just say how good it feels to say goodbye to this apartment in a week and a half?
No more broken toilets
No more weird dust that gives me tonsil stones
No more mice
No more frozen pipes
No more paper thin walls
yes. saying goodbye never felt better. yet the experience was pretty fun.
