Yeah, turns out it was actually some broken part they had to rush up from Denver.

Tourists displayed a hint of understanding when another manager explained, sorry but we aren’t the big city, we’re a rural mountain community, and don’t necessary have every single everything in stock at the local mom and pop hardware store/souvenir shop.

For real though, props to the excavator guy who even had his little kids helping to dig last night while tourists barked about how yall weren’t working hard enough.

Your story has more holes in it than that leaky pipe.

so it was a water main break....but it only impacted 1 condo?....or just 1 that you manage or...


just trying to drag my way through the full story

should this be in the dog thread? its kinda like blues clues

kids help digging....with what?

ground frozen hard enough to break pipes 3 or 4 feet down isnt going to be dug with a shovel.....that excavator probably struggled digging that frozen soil



maybe there's another clue in the mailbox. were gonna solve this mystery.

Speaking of which - water’s back on!

I called yall to make aware, and they said “actually we just went to the rec center yall got us access to and spent the afternoon. We saw the thing on the keychain that says “$50 fee if not returned,” and so we intentionally left it at the rec center downtown just to spite yall, deal with it.”

Ooook. Well although we still have y’all’s credit card and could like totally still charge you for…YALL BETTER NOT!

Well as I was saying, given the circumstances we think…YALL BETTER NOT!

Well of course we wouldn’t charge you for something as petty as intentionally loosing the keys just to spite us after the water broke in…YALL TURNED THE WATER OFF ON US!

I apologize again, and assure you we didn’t do anything intentional. But I was just calling to say the water is back on, and since your request all along was to remain in that same unit, we wanted to invite you back, with a refund to offset the final night’s expenses.

Well we went and booked a different hotel anyway. We want yall to pay for that instead.

Sorry, but we aren’t able to pay for other accommodations, especially since we’ve offered you multiple options to stay with us otherwise.

WHY DIDNT YALL OFFER THAT SOONER!

Actually sir, we offered a comparable unit as soon as we became aware of the issue, but yall were apparently too busy loosing your shit, both figuratively and literally, to even stop and consider it….

…buuut since you already made other arrangements, I suppose all I have left is to thank you for your patience as we worked to resolve this for you. Peace out yall!

i could care less about them....I wanna meet these kids that can dig through rock solid ground at night with a shovel. And find the water main that serves a specific condo.

wheres Scooby-Doo

I can’t believe you guys actually fell for that entire story LOL

most elaborate poop joke ever!

I will admit I have only met a handful of excavators in my adult life, but i don't know many jobs of that type where the worker brings their kids to the work site in an emergency situation.

I mean...small towns....it happens occasionally. But would be odd to bring kids in 14 degree weather and tell them to dig with shovels....


its also odd that it was some dude with an excavator.....a water main should fall under the jurisdiction of the city and be addressed by municipial authorities and work crews.

....near an excavator and water main that is broken....

wonder how the flooding was.... and the resulting iced roads.

ive been around water main breaks....they throw a tremendous of water in a very short period of time.

of course.....ive never been around a water main that serves a single condo either.....so....lots of thread to unravel in this particular mystery

Sometimes I wonder if illy and tdub will ever understand satire.

are unfunny made up scenarios, potentially based on a grain of truth now considered great satire?

ous' satire is about as good as his basketball analytics then

glad illannoy is getting the validation he so desperately seeks, TDub

The real funny part is, this isn’t even the first time yall got shitty about it.

There was that one time the lady paced around the parking lot shouting and threatening to soil herself cuz we couldn’t give yall an early checkin

not validating anything or anyone...just calling it how I see it. If you can poke a knife into a beam, its rotten.
