So as y'all know my family owns an apartment triplex in the burbs of Philly. A nice area though.
Recently, the 2 out of the 3 tenants moved out. The one tenant is on the first floor and it's a one bedroom with a HUGE backyard.
The guy that rented was there with his wife and dog. There was dog poop everywhere on the deck but was to be expected. They left their apt clean and mostly orderly (only needs a bit of light cleaning and small repairs here and there)... but before we get to the place... we get a text from the people that just moved out that they FORGOT ABOUT THE AQUARIUM. Mind you, this is a poopy little 10 gallon tank with some rasboras and a pleco, a cheap little tetra filter and a heater. I take a pic of it, put it in the Craigslist "free" section, and with in 8 minutes I got around 14 EMAILS with people who want to take it. I was just like first person that comes here gets it. You need to take everything including the fish, carry it yourself - kind of rude, lol. Yet because its free people came to it like fruit flies on a rotten plum!
We go up to the third floor. Going up the last flight of stairs, there is dog hair EVERYWHERE... probably an inch thick in some places, but this woman has 5 DOGS in a friggin studio on the third floor! So it was understandable. It kind of smelled like a pet store, but nothing was too bad - to be expected of a woman with 5 big dogs in such a small space. So we knowck on the door, no one answered, so we went in... and OH MY GOD, it smelled worse than the smelliest parts of my animal rescue in the dead of the summer. SO bad! There was dog poop smeared on the floors, dog hair everywhere. Random dirt. The couch was ripped down to shreds, literally. It was terrible. didn't even start to clean it. I looked at the was wall unit a/c, rubbed my hand down it... and a handful of dog hair falls out. We take the air filter out... and it was BLACK... HOW DO PEOPLE LIVE THIS GROSSLY?
She promised that it would all be cleaned out by tomorrow... WE'LL SEE!
Sorry, I just had a semi interesting day and had to get it out haha.
Oh yeah, I was also an antiques auction in the hood of Philadelphia... who in their right mind opens an expensive antique auction in the heart of the hood? Lol, the place is decent inside and has nice stuff, but is surrounded by barbed wire, has a broken window or two, and has iron gates on the windows!
