Default Guess who I met in the pool shop?

Only my ex landlord getting his pool water tested. :curse:

As you might imagine, I wasn't going to spend too much of my hard earned keeping it in tip top condition knowing I was moving out in a few days time.

So the pool guy goes "this water is terrible, a lot of work needs to be done, no chlorine at all"

The ex landlord is going "Hey, why you no look after my poola?" at full volume.

I though I'd seen the last of him but it looks like its fate that he should stalk me wherever I go. :curse:

Because I was leaving, I kept it in tip top condition for over three years, I wasn't going to bust my nuts keeping it tip top for him.

Good job they didn't test the water for piss.

And guess what? the $54 he spent in the pool shop appeared on our list of deductions from the deposit. Along with $30 for one of those plastic drawer inserts you put knives and forks in. :curse:

Anyway, the Mrs turns up to the landlord's wifes work with the plastic tray and goes "here's the plastic tray you wanted $30 for" in front of her colleagues and also asked if we could have the $250 pool cover back tht we bought for their pool and left for them as it wouldn't be any good for our new pool, "because we're not like you"

She let us off the $83 in the end.'
