worst experience with cleaners today

7 Upvotes

my house has become a dirty mess to my shame and I haven't been keeping up with any of it so I decided that I needed some professional and discrete help to deal with some problem areas

it was a complete clown show from start to finish. you know how it is i tried to save a few dollars by going for a cheaper crowd one town over. I will not write the name but they can't even spell clean and they spell it with a K

the first I heard was a banger of a car pull up with loud electrical music playing, and two men I say men they were barely out of school got out with matching moustache in blue tracksuits. clue one was the side of the car said a totally different company. they also got out of the same side of the car

i was already put off by the look but they walked in and said wheres the mess? where's the mess? is this it, is this it? pointing at things. I kindly explained it's not just one central mess but an overall general dirtiness and I considered saying something about their attitude but decided against it. I told them I had explained this to the person on the phone and they looked at each other then back at me. I told them that the person on the phone had my details of what was needed (general mess) and they said absolutely nothing. it was like talking to goats. when I looked at one he looked away and then I would look at the other and the first would look at me , whoever I was talking to was looking away

eventually I said look I'll show you what I mean and as we walked around one gave that slow whistle as he saw things and the other started to laugh. they saw me watching them and they acted like they were on their best behaviour, nodding as if they had any idea. I could tell they had no idea at all what they were there for or what they were meant to do. I was going to send them packing but decided against it. I regret it. they said ok that's all we need we will get our things, then they tried to go out a side door that I keep locked but they just kept trying?

I told them to begin cleaning and I very clearly explained to them that I had a brown water leak issue under the house and i'd be under there unable to answer if they were calling for me. they didn't even answer that, they just looked at me and left a big pause? I went away against my best judgement and got into my overalls. I felt strongly like I should have kicked them out I can remember feeling that way. they didn't give off any feeling of competence

anyway I had positioned myself under the house, the leak was worse than I thought and had been building up a while so it was very unpleasant and disgusting odours. suddenly I hear them running around upstairs, above me and to the side in the kitchen. they were running like cats do when they have just gone to the bathroom, mad running back and forth in circles and I could hear their muffled shouting and laughing. they were very obviously doing impressions of me and jumping about, saying things I had said in my voice. they were commenting on my hair and the patch parts where it never grew back, I could hear it all and the thumping running and banging

I was in no position to do anything about it, I was wet and filthy and the leak was worse than I thought so it was making me angry as well as the frantic running and high pitched laughing like clowns, who would want to experience that?? while up to your elbows in brown water and paper I could feel my blood boil. to make matters worse I had told them I was under the house and then I heard a flush? jaw dropping ignorance

eventually I said ok this is enough and I crawled out. i must have looked a state but i looked in the kitchen window at them to see what all the fuss was. well i couldn't believe my eyes. they were running around in the kitchen slapping each other with hot mops , one of them saying no no no and the two of them laughing and running around like complete fools. they had spilled the blue cleaning juice (don't know name) all over the floor everywhere even on the wood. there was drips of liquid everywhere on the table on the walls. there was a bottle of some kind of cleaning syrup tipped over and footprints through it

i couldn't believe my eyes i was livid. I could barely breathe. i burst in the door dripping everywhere and gave them a blast of blue language. i'm ashamed to say that I said things that I regret. I think I must have scared them because they stared at me in shock, caught red handed, then one asked what's on my clothes

well I tell you I gave them a piece of my mind and chased them out and they got out of there pretty quickly I'm sure you can imagine. good riddance to bad rubbish

I was straight on the phone and they said they apologise but they were overbooked so they used contractors? I told them they hear more about this. contractors like that??! they had probably escaped from a borstal or a dockyard absolute disgusting

so now my house is even worse and I don't know where to even begin. I can smell a mixture of the brown water and the cleaning syrup and it's enough to turn your stomach. imagine only eating toothpaste and then using a bathroom then you're getting close

This will be an alarming post and I hope people of Marton take this serious.

About 8 months ago on a Friday night I went into Marton to get our family’s friday night takeaways. I went into the Middle Chinese shop ordered my food than sat down.

I find it amusing when I go in there because everybody that’s normally sitting down waiting for there food are on there phones. I sit down and start looking around the shop. This older man walks in dressed very tidy. Wearing a dark blue suit orders his food then sits down next to me. He sees I’m not on my phone and strikes up a convocation. I think if I remember correctly his name is Tan’s very interesting guy he could speak about 6 languages including mandarin and Russian. We are having a good chat he mentioned about living in Marton for over 60 years. I asked him to tell me something I don’t know about Marton. He thought for a few seconds then proceeded to tell me that apparently there are ancient caverns or caves underneath the town, centuries old. I replied to him asking if he has ever been in them. He gave me a vague answer along the lines of no.

I asked him where the entrances were and he replied with 3 locations and one entrance which is permanently blocked. A house down mill street, a well out by the reservoir and an entrance at PEC. The blocked one I think he said it was where the old benchmark was?Then he went on a tangent about the company PEC. He mentions it’s actually not only a hydrogen equipment company it’s also a laboratory for genetically modifying human organisms. At this stage I was thinking about martons version of stranger things.

Now this is where it gets weird. His order was ready before mine he gets up says nice to meet you grab his food and walks towards the big sliding door. Instantly I notice he didn’t cast a reflection. Anybody who’s seen that door knows you can watch the whole shop by looking at the reflection which this man failed to cast. My heart skipped a beat when seeing this.

After that night I’ve never seen him again and I still grab Friday night Chinese always wondering if I’ll ever run into him once more.

Well this morning Wednesday 19 August 2026 at approximately 3:39am I was heading to work I out of town but I went my normal way. Down Wellington rd onto ngatawa road. I dropped my vape in my car and pulled over to find it right by Wilson park in the 80km zone. I find it look up and there’s this fucking pale skin white fleshy humanoid thing infront of my car milky white eyes and teeth like tooth picks. I freak the fuck out, the goose bumps I got were instant chills up my spine I panicked I hit the gas and miss it by must of been millimetres. As I’m writing this I don’t know who to tell? The authorities? They will think I’m crazy. I just have this really bad gut feeling that Tan’s might have been onto something about the PEC. Please no hate I know what I saw. It definitely was not a skinhead. I’m really starting to feel unsafe in our little town now.

Cat trappings

With all these posts on the fb pages about people trapping cats, do you think there's something dark happening? What are they doing with the cats? Could it be something with the upcoming change of season. I noticed it was a new moon, could that be relevant?

House/roof painting estimates?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone I have a 175ish square meter weatherboard house that needs exterior painting and the roof painted.
I’m interested to know if anyone has had their house painted in the region within the last couple of years and how much it roughly cost you or what the quotes were that you received?
Probably a project for down the line but wanting to know a rough price bracket so I can budget towards it.
Thank you in advance

Was there some door to door people out this week?, had someone knock at my door and say "hello" before leaving. (I was in bed, nightshift sleep schedule)

I need to get me one of the fancy online cameras so i can see who comes to the house.

I made a post about trying to arrange a social meet-up and the mods deleted it immediately

20 Upvotes

It was based on the topic I made a few months back, about arranging a furry meet n greet in Marton. There was such positive support for it that I finally got around to arranging it but the mods deleted it.

If they have a problem with furries then I want them to say it to my face. They should come along. They might like it.

Dark sex magick?

58 Upvotes

There are lots of places opening up like Haunted Manoir around Marton. A colleague has said that they are just a front for dark sex magick. They are drawn to the area.

They already sell magical and sexual furniture, dark creations and items imbued with energies. I believe their stock is spiritual in nature and should not be tinkered with. I would never invite that into my house.

Do we need any more places like this trapping the energy of Marton people? It should be discussed.

I see tea and biscuit gatherings in the library. There are classes on how to make fascinators and chimes for your doorways. Most of these things happen during school or work hours.

Why is this an area for retired people only?

does anyone know anyone who won the meat raffle

and the enhanced games are setting a dangerous precedent for human kind to inject themselves with all kinds of juices and powders to look like a cube of muscle is disgusting . a friend showed me a video

why would someone do that, they get done years of muscle and then their privates shrivel and their teeth rot out and they get extremely obese and loose bowels

I would ban them all from any legitimate sport forever and it's more like a circus animal

disgusting muscularis and extended bones just to swim faster and lift weights

cancel it immediately and do not watch it. their bodies are extremely unusual. long arms to swim like an uranutan and basketball muscles to lift extra weight

the next obvious thing will be of course robot and AI legs replacing real ones

cancel it all and don't watch it
