Day One
12:15 AM
"Hello?! I demand to speak with you, Miss Manager of the FILTHIEST APARTMENT IN THE WORLD!" I stormed down the hallway that led to the manager's office.
The door cracked open at the end of the hallway and a tall lady stepped out. She had a red coat on with faux fur on the hood and ruby-red heels on her dainty feet.
"Kansas girl with the little dog! Dorothy, was it? I need my apartment cleaned, PRONTO!" I hollered at her. I expected her to send me away or cower, but she did something I would never expect out of a woman who dressed like a character from The Wizard of Oz.
"This is illegal! Somebody call the cops on this horrible lady! She's ordering me to clean a five-star apartment!" the manager screamed. What?! ILLEGAL?! It's ILLEGAL for me to complain about customer service in the apartments?! That's gotta be a fake law! It has to be! It's unreal! But as unreal as I thought it was, the male voice behind me didn't seem bewildered at the situation at all.
"You're under arrest for attacking Taylor Sullivan, a 20-year-old employee who reported being attacked by a tall, burly, green-eyed woman of rude composure," the voice said in an odd manner, as if stating details for the 11:00 news story.
Excuse me?! BURLY?! Never mind the fact that I was called "rude"; that much was obvious, but BURLY?! This cop was insane! That manager was insane! The apartment staff was insane!
I felt my hands being restrained and handcuffs put on me. Now I was getting arrested for "attacking" an apartment employee by demanding customer service in a rude way. Great. On my FIRST day in the city, I'm arrested.
