Let preface this with the fact I'm a wee bit fussy about my car, k?

My building has been washing down the garage with Pinesol. Smells good, we know it's clean, right? Unfortunately, where I park, I have to drive over a drain that is plugged. There's a pool of watery Pinesol more that a few inches deep and at least 4 foot wide. At the end of the week the Pinesol is quite concentrated.

I'm driving over this twice a day. I have Jlines on little narrow tires that I waited forever to get. Is anyone cringing?

I've called and left a message regarding this on the building managers voicemail. I didn't raise my voice. You get more flies with honey etc, etc. It was very polite, very calm stating we have a blocked drain, thank you the building looks very clean, but I have very expensive specialty tires and rims and we need to get the drain unplugged.
Ok. I'm feeling stoopid at this point. I know they're shaking thier head about the crazy redhead in the Infiniti. Damnit, those rims were expensive!


What would you do???

well, I don't see any reason for them to shake their head at anything. Also, I would think that the fact that you are a crazy redhead in an infiniti shouldn't hurt?

good luck on your little pinesol problem.

 

If they don't do something soon about it, I would blow off being nice & polite and tell them your calling the enviromentalists!! haha!

 

yeesh i would be a bit scared. maybe demand a guest parking spot if there is one untill they sort it out?

 

There's only one way in and out of your garage? That doesn't seem safe...

If there were any other way around it, I'd use it. If no, I'd probably go to the office rather than leave a voice mail or whatever. It's easy to ignore a nice, polite phone message, harder to ignore someone leaning over the counter.

 

One way in, one way out. It's a very old building and parking is impossible outside. It's also somewhat of a high crime area the moment I get away from the business/hospital blocks, so no-no to street or other paid parking. I've got a prime spot for cheap with people waiting for something to open up in the building.

I'm planning on harassing them a few more times and getting progressively nastier, but I don't have the patience for game playing.
I'm even tossing around the idea of paying for the RotoRooter guy myself. It could be a business expense, right?
