I love how it’s all two big run-on sentences. And how the second sentence is completely unrelated to the first. And how it’s all typed in capitals, of course, because people WOULDN’T THINK IT WAS IMPORTANT IF IT WASN’T.

See, you learn something new every day: who knew that kitty litterS was plural? Thouse crazy manager people. I’m a cats owner too! But at least I don’t shout directly from the kitty pan when I dump my litters.

I usually shout directly *at* the kitty pan, but only if the cat missed again.

I have a feeling this was typed by someone for whom English is a second language.

ok, i don’t even know where to start on this one. i guess the “manager” missed the class where the teacher taught about plural nouns… and punctuation. but what i’m really wondering about is if you stand in your kitty litter and shout, will that make the kitty litter not stink? or will the litter fairy come and take it for you? don’t forget to wear some slippers or something if you must shout directly from your kitty litter…

Why can’t anybody spell? I would think a landlord in particular might…might…might possibly be able to spell the word tenant, since, well, you know, that’s the main thing of his job.

So am I the only one who figured out that “garbage shout” was referring to a “garbage chute”??? Definitely English as a second (or third or fourth) language…

There was a girl at my old apartment complex who had a cat. She took great relish in dumping her cat litter off her second floor balcony into the flower bed and sidewalk below. When it rained the kittly litter turned into a sinking tar like mud. We dubbed her “Cat Litter Bitch”.

That note is a work of art… perhaps when that apartment manager is not busy managing all his “tennant”, he moonlights as the guy who writes the instructions for how to use chopsticks…

Poor Tennants. What have they, what have they, what have they done to deserve this?

“DON’T LEAVE NOTE ON THE TENNANT DOOR…” Wouldn’t dream of it, note-leaving is for the manager to do.
