If any of you visit my place today, stay away from the porch couch
Edited on Wed Nov-10-04 09:24 AM by eyesroll
I'm pretty sure I didn't do it, so I'll have to assume one of the soccer players who lives upstairs, or one of his guests, left a lovely pool of vomit for me on the cushion.

The porch couch is, technically, theirs. But it better damn well be cleaned up by the time I get home. Because, as explained yesterday, my parents are coming over tonight. :o

2. They're nice people...they're just college students.
(With apologies to all of the responsible college students who frequent this board, of course.)

6. I am at work, so no can do.
I have an exceptionally strong stomach for cleaning up vomit.

Still. Their puke, their couch, their responsibility. It's going on the lawn tonight if it doesn't get cleaned up.

7. I was hoping the soccer players would behave themselves.
Unfortunately, they're being jerks right now.

8. We shall see how this gets resolved.
Jerkishness is largely dependent on how one rectifies their mistakes, rather than on whether one makes them (at least to me).

It is theoretically possible they don't know about it yet. (i.e. one of their guests was the jerk and slinked out without telling anyone)

10. Beast Man's Simple Household Hint #487:
Spray yuk-puddle with Resolve or any comparable upholstery cleaner and let dry. When dry, flip cushion over. Voila!

12. EEEW.
I think I have some badass professional carpet spotter somewhere (if not, I'll get some next week, which will be too late for this couch but I somehow suspect this won't be the last puddle of yuk that needs cleaning). Maybe I should leave it tied to their doorknob with a little bow.

11. As a cleaning chemicals expert, couldn't you have left them
a note on how to clean it up? You know, be a good neighbor?

Also, hope that your planned chile party doesn't cause the same thing!

:-)

14. I haven't been invited to visit your place.
But should such an invitation be forthcoming, I promise to stay away from the aforementioned couch.
