As I am getting out of work I get a call from my roommate.. "There is something funny going on here...". I get home to find her standing on the couch with a stick and the kitchen in a disarray. "There is something living under our sink" she shrieks. I am scared already. I walk cautiously towards the kitchen.. and she joins me explaining how she heard something moving in the kitchen. Curious, she walked in to find the noise coming from under the sink and some kind of dropping all over the kitchen floor. She opened the cabinet under the sink and heard something scuttle. Trying not to freak out she actually mustered the courage to pull out the trash can and the supplies tub from underneath. I would have died before I did that !!!. And she found the sponge in the cleaning supplies tub SHREDDED !!!

Now as she was pointing out the droppings leading to the door and in the walkway into her room... I started to approach my room. THE CARPET OUTSIDE MY ROOM WAS ALL FRAYED NEAR THE DOOR HINGE !!

I freaked out. I called maintenance to see why they still had'nt come in inspite my roommate notifying them 45 minutes ago. They said the people who would take care of it were notified. I had to hold myself back from screaming. "How long will it be ?" I asked. "M'am, maintenance does not consider a rat in the house as an emergency !!!! It can take anywhere from 24 to 72 hours "

"Are you F@#$ing kidding me ???"

Slept at a friends last night. Just put in a request with my leasing office to have my apartment fumigated. If they don't get it done right away.. they can ask the rat to pay the rent !!!
