Thread: Press 1 to continue...

Okay I have a major issue with the illegals in my building who can't pull a simple permit from the county to do plumming. They messed up their plumming by doing a job themselves, and they shut off my water, and the whole building's water for over 4 hours right now and counting.... So I go ahead and call Team Metro. (A place where you call and complain about county ordinences(sp) and laws) I call Team Metro to get..... "Press one to continue in English"... Okay maybe once in a while it's okay to hear that... But Team Metro referred me to another department within the county, which also said our favorite line... "Press one to continue in English." who then reffered me to another department who said our favorite line once again.... This is sad and irritating beyond belief. I've been dying to take a shower since 9am today.... Not to mention my plumming has been whack for about 2 weeks now due to illegals who messed up their plumming below me...

I'm tired of hte press one stuff. Maybe I should put this on my phone... "Press one to continue in English. Press 2 to hang up cause there ain't no other language on this phone."

They do have a problem with plumbing. Can't tell you the amount of money and hours spent mopping up after people that haven't mastered exactly what a toliet can and can not do, or what you can and can not put down your drains. Lived in neighborhoods where they actually tried to do septic work themselves.........some things are best left for the professionals to do.

I made a call the call the other day and I didn't get press 1 for English. They did the whole entire deal in Spanish first. Then did the whole deal in English. Only then to have to deal with an automated voice.

Try calling the board of health and see if they can help.

That's on the top of the list for tomorrow. Calling the health unit because there's 8 people living in a 2bed/2bath house.. Which should only have up to 4 people.... How do these people live on-top of eachother like that?

In reference to going down the drain... How much of our money is going down the drain to put everything that once was in english.... and translate it all into Spanish, Creol and English? Just so we can cater to their imcompetence to learn English.

Talking about Not learning English and the Health Unit... These people can't even throw out their garbage in the proper places. They think the recycling bins beside the washer/drayer mean throw out dipers, rotten meat, rotten food ant etc... So it smells like death took over the room. Not to mention all the Roach's, rats, ants and etc they're helping to bread. Maybe they lived beside a dump or sewer system back home....But that ain't here. Sorry but we don't like that filth and stench over here. Learn english and learn what recycling means people... Oh and is it so hard to walk a few more steps to the garbage shoot where this stuff is supposed to go?

To add on to the topic of being lazy... I don't know about you people, but I herd that when your pregnant it's healthy for you to walk. So can someone please tell me why they have these pregnant mother parking spots? I see many men, and many non-american citizens use this spot. I'm tired of their lazyness and whining. The only way to make them quiet is to give them what they are screaming about or all hell would break loose. It's horrible how we have to cater to them.

I don't know about you people, but I herd that when your pregnant it's healthy for you to walk. So can someone please tell me why they have these pregnant mother parking spots? Don't know.....they didn't have them when I was pregnant.

Problems can arise in pregnancy. In the third trimester blood pressure can go up. When you gotta go get stuff and you are huge and feel like crap and it's 100 degrees out, it's nice to find a close parking spot.

Yeah, unfortunately, those spots are abused. If I felt fine, I didn't park there. I hate hearing that men are parking there.

That's on the top of the list for tomorrow. Calling the health unit because there's 8 people living in a 2bed/2bath house.. Which should only have up to 4 people.... How do these people live on-top of eachother like that?

Because it beats the hell out of living outside with no walls, running water, heating or plumbing of any kind in Mexico. In comparison what you just described is the equivalent of the lap of luxury for them.

There was a funeral in Chicago today. Six Mexican children and a mother burned to death because they lived in their apartment with no electricity and were living by candlelight. The community rallied around the remaining family members and donated over $300,00, as well as funeral arrangements.

Well When I tell people to move their car since you can obviously tell if they're pregnant or not, or even if I ask them if they are... All I get is spanish talk down here. I'm sorry but if they don't learn how to speak english quick, I'll start to tow their cars. I'm tired of this game

Finally, something we don't have to pay on their behalf.
