烘干机突然大罢工,租客宣泄不满我发懵

3月17日清晨,租客发短信说When I try to start the dryer it makes a click and doesn’t start spinning. All lights are on.” 烘干机停摆了。

我立马联系了维修师傅。他看过租客发过来的品牌和型号后判断,这是Maytag的一款老型号,从症状看,大概率是主板出问题。修是可以修的,但主板贵、到货慢、也不能保证一定能修好。建议直接换台新的。

  • 现在的维修成本真是高得离谱。不光是烘干机,哪怕是一个打印机,买配件的钱都能顶上产品三分之一甚至更多。于是我开始上网查找新的烘干机。各种品牌看下来,一台美的干衣机吸引了我的注意。
  • 自2000年5月离开家乡到了澳大利亚,后来又辗转移居多伦多,我每次购物时,只要有中国产品,都会优先选择。不是因为它一定是最便宜或者最耐用,而是因为那份朴素的爱国情结。这次也不例外,我毫不犹豫地在 Costco 官网上下单,价格 $599.99。Costco 的定价真是精准,一分钱之差,硬生生让人觉得“不到$600”。
  • 付款后,我把送货链接发给了租客。看到送货时间后,颇有不满,发来一条略带情绪的短信:“Do you have someone with a truck that can pick it up? I work, have multiple activities and cannot be going to a laundry mat multiple times to dry my clothes.
  • 我看完这条信息,心里有点堵,不知道该怎么回复是好,干脆忽略了回应。毕竟找人去提货还得额外花钱,而我选择网购就是为了想省点开支。房东想省钱,租客则希望尽快用上烘干机,这种角色的差异,有时候真的很难协调。
  • 3月28日是送货日。租客通知我,烘干机会在早上10点到下午2点之间送达。我随手回了句 “sounds great”。没想到这两个字再次引发了她心里的满腹牢骚。她马上回复道:
  • Not for me, I am very busy at work and did not need this back and forth. A proper delivery window and knowledge ahead of time would’ve allowed me to plan my day.
  • 2 weeks of using laundry mat to dry clothes, now driving to and from work multiple times in one day. Is a massive inconvenience and costly.
  • 看了她的短信,我顿时语塞,也有点尴尬。或许她不是在指责,只是情绪的自然宣泄。而我,一句无心的“sounds great”,在她的现实困难面前,显得有点冷漠。
  • 有时候,真的是“沉默是金”。
  • 所幸事情有了一个好的结局。周五晚上,租客发来一条让我松口气的短信:她男朋友已经把新烘干机安装好了,工作一切正常,积压的衣服也都烘干了。她还附上了一个笑脸表情包,气氛总算缓和了下来。
  • 做房东,可不是光收租金那么简单,还要不断地在“人情”与“规则”、“省钱”与“体谅”之间找到平衡。租客也有自己的生活节奏和期待。我们都是在为各自的生活而努力,只是角度不同而已。理解和耐心,或许是房东和租客关系里最重要的润滑剂。

现在的干衣机通常都有SENSE来监控出风的顺畅,如果是干衣机的出风管道堵了,干衣机就会罢工。检查一下干衣机的外墙出风口吧,也许问题在那里。
