obvious troll is obvious.
The post I quoted seemed to imply that there weren't 24hour repair men, I was just correcting that.There most certainly *are* plumbing emergencies! Leaks cause escalating damage while they are left unresolved. Electrical emergencies can lead to fire and death.
please explain...
I want the dryer fixed this weekend, not to wait until Monday, or Tuesday, or when a landlord might want to fix it.
By the way the place I am living has 1 star reviews and we moved here out of necessity. The landlord has been complained about for not fixing issues in a timely manner by other current tenants.
Or I suppose they could use that other feature that phones now support, something to do with near-realtime transfer of voice data.No. Text messages are generally less asynchronous compared with email. You typically leave text notifications on, even after hours, so people can contact you about something that's actually important and worth disturbing you over.
That was sufficient further information to make a final determination: your parents did not do a very good job. You would think that anyone old enough to move out on their own would be able to apply common sense to determine what an emergency is. Then again, people get the wrong order at the drive-thru and call 911. On the other hand, those people are the ones who get in trouble with the police, because any reasonable person has enough common sense to know better. Hence, your landlord possibly being a bit irate over being bothered by a trivial maintenance issue early in the morning.
You're right, OP! This is an emergency situation. If the dryer isn't fixed at this moment, perhaps you should escalate it up the chain of command and call 911. That usually works out best.

Yeah. No one calls a 24-hour plumber / electrician because the dryer doesn't work.
They call when there is/are sparks, smoke, burning smells, or water.
F that. He should have just tweeted the president.
The world doesn't operate with perfect precision, and it's unreasonable to expect it of other people.
I dunno. The landlord expects tenants to pay by when rents due or face late fees, etc.
He should have dialed the Ferguson Police Department...Should have dialed 911.
Go make him a cup of tea...The maintainence guy is here now fixing it . .
I stay away from places like that. I've always paid my landlord when I got to it. Sometimes it might have been a week late or so, but they always got the money, and I was always a good tenant.
No... what's wrong with YOU?
YOU clearly have some kind of emotional inbalance.
I'm new to apartment life, wasn't sure what constituted a true emergency.
Yeah you are a great tennant, sure your landlord has no issue calling the bank up and telling them a mortgage payment is going to be a week late again because you don't understand how to pay your rent on time.
So? You think the magical dryer repairman is going to come out on Saturday or Sunday?What if they dont check the tickets until the following Monday?
Because you thought it was notable. Why was it notable that you texted her at 7:56 AM? You knew it was an impolite thing to do, but you did it anyway, and then posted here about it to get a reaction. On the first count, asshole. On the second count, troll. Analysis confirmed.
Duh. You don't need her to define "emergency." Put yourself in the owner's shoes and ask yourself what you would do then. If you wouldn't call for EMERGENCY services, then it isn't an emergency. Don't respond yo this again with "but I'm not the owner" unless you want to make yourself out as a complete idiot (we know you aren't and that's the point of role-playing, FFS).But I'm not the owner, she is.
I texted her letting her know it stopped working. I didnt text her demanding a repairman.
