Now I have seen that asking kindly and nicely does not work, but losing my cool and bothering her late at night does. Not really a.good precedent but this was an ongoing probpem that needed to be resolved.
I had a similar issue. I called the land lord multiple times to fix a broken drier. I was extremely polite, and each time they said that someone would be over within a couple of days to fix it. Each subsequent time I called, they used the excuse that it was snowing and thus a lot of other properties had emergency repairs that took precedent over that.
Anyways, I was getting tired of not having a drier, so I called them once after a bad day and was a huge asshole. Told them that it's completely unacceptable that I need to call 5+ times to get the drier fixed and that I would be seriously reevaluating whether or not I'd continue living there. Someone then showed up the same day to fix it.
Moral of the story: Sometimes you need to be an asshole to get what you want.
