When I got home from a business trip, I found the water was out. I called the property manager, and when the guy showed up, he looked at me in confusion. "The water outage was announced in the homeowners' group chat yesterday. You even replied 'got it'. Did you forget?" he asked. My heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling crept over me. Honestly, my husband and I never joined the homeowners' group chat because it was too much hassle. After the property manager left, I joined the homeowners' group chat and scrolled through the messages. There was a woman who claimed to be the owner of Unit 1206, chatting nonstop in the group. But 1206 was my place. If she were the owner, then who the hell was I? I called my husband, Charles Bennett, right away. He didn't even pause before saying, "Probably just a mistake. There are so many buildings in this complex, so it's easy to mix things up. Want me to remind her to fix it?" I gave a smile and told him not to bother, that it wasn't a big deal. After hanging up, I immediately used my side account to friend the woman who claimed to be the owner of Unit 1206.
