Throw up and a sense of urgency?

Last night, someone got drunk and spewed their pretzels and peanuts in vomit form all over the landing by our mailboxes. How did we figure that out you might ask? Well, at about 1 am last night some weird alarm starting going off in our building. We went outside into the hall to make sure it wasn't the fire alarm. But, none of the fire alarms were blinking...and it was not a typical noise. It lasted for probably 5 minutes. It was -20 outside or we maybe would have thought about evacuating. Several people opened their doors and glared at us like we did it and then went back inside. So, who knows what the alarm was for...hopefully not a tornado warning. And that is when we found the throw up.
We were inside most of the morning but when we opened our door to go run errands, we could smell the puke. So, I called maintenance. After explaining the situation to the woman (who was dry heaving on the phone after I told her what had happened) she assured me that she would send maintenance right over to take care of it. She apologized profusely and we left thinking that it would be taken care of very soon and we wouldn't have to smell it. She had said that I was the only one to call and complain so far and if she had known, it would have been urgently taken care of.
After 4 hours of many errands (boots for Steven, more thermals & long sleeves, etc.) we came home. To our great dismay, the throw up is still there. In my book, having barf less than 10 feet away from your apartment door is an urgent matter. Aparently, if you're not living by it, smelling it all the time, it's not urgent? Can someone explain that to me?
The worst parts (besides the smell and chunks of regurgitated food by our mailbox and apartment door) are first that the drunk person who heaved all over doesn't remember it I'm sure and no one gets fined or anything exciting....AND people who don't realize what it is are tracking it away from the mailboxes down the hall.
Do you feel like gagging now? Welcome to our life today!
Hey, we had to post about something...
