Life's Like That
Here are some extracts from complaint letters to UK councils/housing associations. I make no apologies for the double meanings!:
I want some repairs done to my cooker as it has backfired and burnt my k**b off.
I wish to complain that my father hurt his ankle very badly when he put his foot in the hole in his back passage.
Their 18-year-old son is continuously banging his balls against my fence.
I wish to report that tiles are missing from the roof of the outside toilet and I think it was bad wind the other night that blew them off.
The lavatory seat is cracked, where do I stand?
I am writing on behalf of my sink which is coming away from the wall.
50% of the walls are damp, 50% have crumbling plaster and the rest are plain filthy.
Will you please send someone to mend the garden path. My wife tripped and fell on it yesterday and now she is pregnant.
I request your permission to remove my drawers in the kitchen.
Can you please tell me when the repairs will be done as my wife is about to become an expectant mother.
I am still having trouble with smoke in my built-in drawers.
The toilet is blocked and we cannot bath the children until it is cleared.
Will you please send a man to look at my water, it is a funny colour and not fit to drink.
Our lavatory seat is broken in half and now it is in three pieces.
Would you please send a man to repair my spout. I am an old age pensioner and need it straight away.
The man next door has a large er****on in the back garden, which is unsightly and dangerous.
Our kitchen floor is damp. We have two children and would like a third so will you please send someone round to do something about it.
I am a single woman living in a downstairs flat and would be pleased if you could do something about the noise made by the man I have on top of me every night.
Please send a man with clean tools to finish the job and satisfy the wife.
…and he’s got this huge tool that vibrates the whole house and I just can’t take any more.
…that is his excuse for dogs mess that I find hard to swallow.
I have had the Clerk of the Works down on the floor six times, but still have no satisfaction.
We are getting married in September and would like it in the garden before we move into the house.
This is to let you know that our lavatory seat is broken and we can’t get BBC2.
My bush is really overgrown round the front and my back passage has fungus growing in it.
