@lemmy.doris__, a Nigerian woman living in Canada, has described how she had to pay $621 (N903k) for repairs after using water to clean her bathroom.
She was still unable to accept that she had to pay money to have her bathroom cleaned with water, which was customary in Nigeria.
The woman claimed in a TikTok video that she had made the decision to tidy her home on that fateful day and had given her bathroom a quick water scrub.
People knocked on her door after she used water to clean her bathroom, complaining about a leak downstairs and inquiring as to whether she had done so.
On Monday, she was informed that the leak had gotten worse after answering in the affirmative. She was advised to clean her bathroom with wipes rather than water after being forced to pay $621 (903k) to remedy the leak.
In the video, she made the following complete statement:
“I was forced to pay $621 because I used water to clean my bathroom in Canada. Yes, I mean water in a bathroom, the same water that every normal human being uses to clean.
“Anyway, come closer. Let me tell you what happened. But before we go on with these Canadian landlords, buildings, or whatever, hi, my name is Lemondoris, your friendly online chaos coordinator, and welcome to another episode of 100 Days to 10K, where we grow, we glow, and today, I cry over unexpected bills.
“So let me tell you what happened now because my chest is still paining me. One normal evening, I just decided to be a clean girl and clean my house, particularly my bathroom. Nothing serious—just a little water and a bit of scrubbing.
“Next thing, people come into my room knocking, saying, “What happened? There’s a leak downstairs.” I’m like, “What has happened?” Because as far as I’m concerned, I’m upstairs. How is the room below me concerning me? They then proceeded to ask me if I used water to clean my bathroom. I was genuinely confused because bathroom and water are one and two. How are you asking such a question?
“Well, being the Christian child that I am, I told them that yes, I was cleaning my bathroom and obviously used water. By the time they came in to check, my bathroom was very dry—like my account after I just paid them, anyways, fast forward.
They now say that they will come on the weekend to check if there are any leaks. I was like, “Okay, me, I’m so sorry.” Because what can I actually do other than say that I’m sorry?
“Fast forward to Monday, and they’re telling me that the leakage downstairs has become big. I’m like, “What does it concern me?” Little did I know I was about to receive the blockbuster of my life.
“Before they told me I had to pay $600 and something dollars, they said, “You have to clean your bathroom with wipes.” I was really concerned. I was like, “What?” Because I know even you are concerned. How can you clean a whole bathroom with wipes?
“Anyway, this time, they did not send me an email to apologize or even tell me earlier that because of my actions, I now have to pay $621. Oh, my brothers and sisters, I nearly called my parents to call Mr. Saeed, who is our home plumber, to come and fix this thing because on top of the education I was receiving on that day, I should also pay you $600 for my account.
“Anyways, my account is open to receive alerts. My lovelies, bye.”
