The Sofa That Came to Stay!

Green Sofa Story:
So over three weeks ago while we where napping after our backpacking trip there was a knock on the door. The Air-conditioner had been broken so we thought it might be maintenance so I jumped out of bed grabbed a bathrobe and ran to the door. However, rather then finding the slightly stinky maintenance guy on the other side there were 4 men holding a GIANT sofa - and even worse then wanted to come in. The giant sofa which could easily seat 7 obese adults and was longer then my apartment is wide would not fit up the 1950's designed stair well, go figure. However, the men were sure that if they just brought it in a few feet they could turn it and then take it up to the 3rd floor. So being the nice neighbor that I am I said sure and in came the sofa; however the couch would not fit up to the 3rd floor, again go figure. So the men decided to take in back down the stairs, but oh now they could not get it back down the stairs so the only logical thing to do was leave in in MY apartment for 2 days until they could get maintenance to open the other neighbors door so that they would have more room to finagle the sofa. Well 3 weeks later we still had the giant green sofa but the neighbors did not leave us with the cushions so we could not sit on it (not that I would have anyway, you know bugs and such). So the neighbors said they would be coming to get their sofa but they did not, and then they said they would come and they did not, then I contemplated pushing the sofa out the window. Then when I was at my wits end and about to barrow a chain saw to cut the damn thing in half and have it hauled off I came home and the sofa that came to stay was gone!

Moral of the story don't let random people leave furniture at your house and if you do change a handling fee! Neighbors you owe me $150!

  3. That is completely ridiculous. I had a freezer that came to stay one time for 6 months, but it was a friend's, not a strangers. I agree no one else's furniture should be allowed to stay!
