Our Eventful Evening

Craziest thing happened last night!
To preface this note, first let me tell you that DeAnna and I live in a basement apartment and that our landlords are in their 70's.

So last night at 10:45 pm, DeAnna walks into the bathroom to see massive leaks of hot water falling into our bathroom. Water is coming from the vent and the ceiling and the room is quickly flooding. So we first grab buckets and blankets to hold the water at bay. Then we try to see if our landlords are home. We called their cell and LAN line more times than we can count, we bang on the door and ring the door bell, bang on windows, and figure there is no one home. I call my family that is in town visiting and they come over to help. First we figure out that in order to shut the water off we need some special tool from the city. So we decide to break into the house through the door in our basement, which meant taking the door off. My brother and I rush into the house yelling hello and their is no answer, so we find that someone left the water on in the half bathroom and it overflowed and flooded their bathroom and ours. We shut it off and clean up the best we can. I then write a note telling them what happened and told them to come down as soon as they can to talk. After we spend a few hours cleaning and drying out everything, I hear someone upstairs about 1 am. We run outside to see if someone new is home and we see no new cars. So I call the LAN line and the wife answers the phone. She says she got our note and is very thankful that we did what we did, but then confesses that she was in the house asleep the whole time!!! She was the one who left the water running. So let's now examine this:

We called both phones multiple times, knocked on all doors and windows multiple times, broke into their house, made a lot of noise in their house, hunted for towels and cleaned up a flooded bathroom, and this woman did not wake up!! What the heck!!

Needless to say, they have a lot of ceiling and floor damage in their house, all because they sleep like rocks.
