Another Day, Another Roach


The boyfriend snapped Friday night.

We had turned out the lights when suddenly he bolted out of bed in a cloud of F-bombs.

Roaches.

In the bed.

He immediately called the management company and left a nasty, curse laden message that was so vicious it sounded like... me.

The next morning he called them again, and the helpful drone who answered the phone explained that they would see what they could do, but that part of the problem was the City of Bakersfield regularly sprays the sewer system for roaches, forcing them up out of everyone's drains.

Come again?

They spray the sewers for roaches?

God forbid there would be cockroaches in the sewer! That would be unsanitary! Better to force them into everyone's home.

I swear this place makes absolutely no sense.
