So on Monday I was coming back to school after lunch and was told there had been a break in at our apt building Shocked and there would be a meeting with the boss after class.

So I go on to class and then to the meeting in the big conference room. All the teachers are atwitter. It turns out that sometime between 9 and 11 that morning a young guy, maybe middle school but probably high school or early university age had gone into �Olga� the Russian language teacher�s apt, took out her undies and spread them all over the floor. Clearly a pervert. Some of the other teachers think someone has been in their apts messing with computers.

So Jang, after telling us about the �accident� informed us that security bars will be installed, all the locks changed (clearly the guy has keys to more than one apt), a CCTV will be installed and the guard will patrol more often (even once will be more than before). So all that�s good. He goes on to say someone told him there are �many� mentally sick young people in the complex but he thinks there are only 5 or 6. So only 5 or 6 should make us feel better?

So now we get to the potentially egregious part. So he asks who lives on the first floor. I raise my hand. He takes a look at my bald spot (he�s tall and I�m sitting down); he takes a look at my stomach. Then he says, �You don�t have anything to worry about� and moves on. Confused

Important information: So all the drying racks are screwed into the ceiling and all but one are on the back balcony next to the washing machines. Only mine is on the front balcony. I�m on the first floor. Once a week my boxers are hanging out front for the whole world to see, including any neighborhood perverts. Several of the women teachers have complimented me on my taste in boxers. I often watch DVDs on my TV in my boxers. People who are offended have learned not to window peek while parking or walking past.

So do I have grounds for a complaint to Jang? I think I have a lot to offer a pervert. Would a call to the Labor Board be any use?

So how would you handle this accident?


(So I want to be hip and cool Cool like the younger posters, so I started as many sentences as possible with 'so'. I hope it didn�t annoy anyone.)

So, I think you can start by buying me a monitor, since mine is now covered in tea. Razz

You do have a lot to offer a pervert, but wit and charm tend to go under appreciated in those circles. Wink

Laughing That's about where I spit my tea too. I then proceeded to mop it up so I could do it all over again.

Just so they don't start spelling it 'soh'. Wink

But I'm here to say, ya gotta love a country that requires laundry to be air dried. There are actually US communities that have clothes lines outlawed. Rolling Eyes

In my day, people didn't write in informal English on an Internet Message Board.

A dangling participle would get your IP address blocked.

Sheesh.

Wouldn't be offended, but I do get a bit leery if a guy checks me out like that!

I think he was just implying that you don't have any panties to offer to the raiders.

Ask Olga if you can borrow some of her panties to keep on your drying rack as an enticement for the pervs.

After they spread out the panties on your floor, you can tell everybody at work with a smug "I told you so" attitude.

Respect has to be earned.
