Semantics
June 16th, 2012 Posted in Pure ComedyI’m sure it made sense to someone, this posting of an apartment complex management’s response to a resident’s complaints. But some conversations, I think, are best conducted in privacy. A sampling of the resident’s itemized complaints — nearly all of them concerning animal waste — and management’s point-by-point rebuttal:
“C. “All grass all around building is full of dog pee (grass on the edge of sidewalks are burnt).”
Response: Instances of lawn areas damaged by dog urine are obvious at the two Second Floor Entrances to the Building, as well as along the two walkway approaches to the Third Floor Entrance. However, we have not found evidence that grass around the entire Building is full of dog urine.”
The entire lawn isn’t soaked in pee, after all. Why, there’s still some perfectly green places left. It’s a little like reality TV, but you can read the rest here.

Given how persistently the tenant smells urine (and no one else does), I wonder if it has occurred to him that he himself is the source?
My sense is that management isn’t married. Any married man can tell you there are times when you face accusations that are exaggerated, but pointing out the part that is exaggerated just draws more attention to the part that is not.
