at the pleasure of others

We're waiting for the antibug paste guys to come lay down antibug paste. We
had to clear our kitchen and bathroom cupboards and move everything away
from the walls.

When the landlord replaced our kitchen counter they sent a couple of
unilingual Polish yobbos who ripped out the old counter and bolted down the
new one without saying a word to us. They left holes in the wall above the
counter where they had ripped it out. I expect the bottom-end "contractors"
doing the bugs work to be the same.

And meantime we wait. Just like we wait for every other "service" provider
on earth. The customer doesn't mean s*** any more. Everything is in the
service of scamming money and treating ordinary, honest people like carnival
marks.

My parents are in their mid-60s and have to tear up their apartment and sit
in a mess and wait for the scummy bastards to get around to us. And then put
everything back themselves.

Screw the goddamned bastards who do this kind of thing to people. And screw
the powers-that-be who created this kind of life in the "First World." The
whole earth is Third World now.
