Papaia’s family rents a new house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At first, everything seems to be going well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One evening, while they’re having dinner in the kitchen, Banani comments on the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This landlord is really efficient. He’s sorted out all the little problems remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not so sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One day, rats start appearing all over the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wife<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Disgusting! Do something!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Banani<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Relax. The landlord will definitely sort this out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia calls the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sorry, but we’ve got rats in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No problem. I’ll send you some traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia receives a link to an online shop on his phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The link to buy the traps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re paying for them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No problem. I’ll reimburse you once you send me the receipt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The traps arrive, and Papaia sets them up, but they don’t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He calls again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, hello?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The traps haven’t worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No problem. I’ll arrange pest control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few days later, a pensioner turns up wearing a T-shirt with the word \u201cPEST CONTROL\u201d written on it in fabric marker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He moves a panel under the kitchen units and discovers the rats’ holes and a disgusting mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pensioner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We just need to seal up those holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, you can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pensioner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Actually, you’ll have to do that yourselves. I’ll guide you through it step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Us?! How come?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia calls the landlord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hello?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pest control guy says we have to do the work ourselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, that’s because it’s the service that costs… erm… I mean, it’s the way things are done nowadays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n But couldn’t we catch some disease?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landlord<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n No, don’t worry. Just wear a mask and gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pensioner hands Papaia a mask and a pair of gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So it’s safe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pensioner<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes… for me. Just imagine doing this sort of job every day…<\/p>\n\n\n\n Papaia and his wife put on the gloves and start cleaning, looking thoroughly disgusted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Igor happens to walk past just at that moment and makes a comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Igor<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n DIY pest control… now that’s a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What’s next? Making you replace the tiles yourselves?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Papaia’s family rents a new house. At first, everything seems to be going well.
