🎉 A Big Thank You to Our Second Tipster!
We’d like to extend our deepest gratitude to the brave soul who submitted this gem to the Condo Leak Tipline. Your courage in exposing the absurd is appreciated.
Once upon a concrete patio in the land of Blenvale, a tenant had the audacity – the sheer gall – to place… a wooden box. Not a grill. Not a fire hazard. Just a box. Made of wood. Possibly containing dreams, or garden tools, or perhaps nothing at all. But to the Ever-Watchful Eye of the Board, this wasn’t a box. Oh no. It was clearly a covert barbecue in disguise. The Smoking Gun. The Treasonous Crate.
And so, instead of asking the man what it was (which would require basic communication skills and an ounce of humility), the Board did what any self-respecting authoritarian regime would do: they went straight to his landlord, tattled like schoolchildren in a morality play, and accused him of grilling in secret.
Now, our tenant, bless him, was not one to seek conflict. He also owned a bike. A humble, two-wheeled contraption, powered not by propane, but by legs. He used to bring it up the elevator – like many before him, and many still do. But Mildred saw him. And Mildred did not like him.
“You’re not allowed to bring that bicycle in the elevator!” she declared, wielding the authority of a minor deity.
Unfazed, the tenant replied, “Fine. I’ll take the stairs.”
That would have ended it. For anyone else, it would have. But not for Mildred.
Soon after, a new by-law miraculously emerged: “All bicycles must be stored in the bike room. They may not be carried through common elements.”
A coincidence? As likely as that wooden box bursting into flames and roasting a rack of ribs on its own.
Because when Mildred doesn’t like you, she doesn’t just give you dirty looks in the lobby. She rewrites the rules. She sharpens the quill of governance and etches vengeance into the very bylaws of the realm.
Let this be a cautionary tale.
Do not cross the box.
Do not ride the bike.
Do not, under any circumstances, awaken Mildred’s wrath.
Because at Blenvale, you don’t just live under the roof. You live under her rule.
