go to your room Laundry room ceiling was finally painted. Maintenance man stood on worktop and broke it.
It beggars belief the sheer incompetence of the people running this place. I wouldn’t even trust that sort of material to hold my weight as a small twink, why does a fully grown, large man think that it’s a good idea to stand on that sort of material?? He also whacked the chandelier and knocked a bit off of it with a giant mirror… thankfully it didn’t break.
The landlord only even got it painted because they would’ve gotten in trouble if they didn’t (it had sat unpainted for around a year). They also didn’t sand the rough plaster, fix the tiles or basically anything else. Oh, and the ceiling was re plastered last year because they’d allowed somebody’s bathroom shower to leak through the light fixture for at least three years. Fun!
Landlords suck.

Ceiling: painted. Countertop: sacrificed. Maintenance man: ‘Mission accomplished.’

As a landlord, you best believe I'd be pissed if the maintenance I was paying did this. I'd want to know so I can fire them or go after their insurance.
