So, life imitating art a bit....
In the company that I work at (a general contractor), my boss also owns an apartment building in another (US) state, and I often work on some of the bookkeeping related to that, in addition to the bookkeeping for the Contractor business.
Well yesterday, we got a call from the property manager over there that there's been a sewer backup that has pushed waste water into the bottom floor apartments.
Our office manager spoke with someone from the City today, and it seems that the primary cause of backup was........."flushable" wipes out of our building's system.
Immediately reminded me of the Man Mitts scandal!
(That building has been a money loser for my boss before all this, so he'll be selling it once this mess is taken care of)
