When a fellow sailor in the Avionics department was astonished when a pilot filled out a maintenance request and clearly was ignorant of how it is operated said “look at this and he went to college”. My shop Chief then said “the world is full of educated idiots”.

A few months ago, I had received a maintenance request at the apartment complex I work for. It was before the Covid19 lock down, and I gathered my tools to fix a light fixture that had no power.The fixture was in the master bedroom, and I always worry about going into someone’s bedroom. It’s usually their last bastion of privacy, and I’ve always felt uncomfortable invading that particular space.I also try to check if there are vehicles that belong to the tenant parked in the lot. Often, they sleep in late and don’t answer the door, requiring me to ring the bell twice, knock twice, then use my master key to enter and announce myself as per company guidelines. No vehicles belonging to this tenant were outside, and no answer to the rings or knock.I use my key and call out. “Maintenance! Here to repair your light!”No reply. I bring my new light fixture and tool bag inside and close the door. Nothing seemed out of place other than the tv was on in the living room as well as the bedroom I was to be working in. Both on different channels.I relaxed a little since this isn’t all that unusual. Not sure why they do it, maybe to make it appear as if someone is home?Anyway, the bedroom door is closed, so I open it to find the woman that lives in that apartment, the woman that lives directly below her apartment, and a guy from a different building, all coupled together in some sort of cosplay threesome!The actual tenant was dressed in a lingerie/corset get up with a mask (I could tell it was her from her build.), the other girl had a cat girl type outfit on as well as a mask (didn’t recognize her until she squealed) and the guy was dressed in stockings, garter belt, heels, bra, wig and fully made up like a girl. Not very well I might add!Now, many of you reading this may think that it might have been a wonderful experience to walk in on, but each one of these people were at LEAST 350 lbs, the outfits not flattering at all, meth head’s with maybe five teeth between them, and the smell! The horrid, HORRID smell emanating from them! It was like sewage mixed with garlic!I refused to return without another person and never that apartment unless they actually answer the door!
