Other people's poop on my bathroom floor = bad day

The bad news: yesterday, my toilet overflowed. It was disgusting. I mucked out the bathroom and plunged the toilet for about a half hour, but it didn't seem to unclog. I had a big meeting the next morning, so I went to bed and figured I'd deal with it the next day. This morning, the toilet had overflowed AGAIN, and this time, a bunch of rancid water had come up my shower drain. Absolutely disgusting. Then I got back from work, and I noticed that the main drain outside my apartment was overflowing with what looked like raw sewage. About an hour later, the public works emergency crew was there, and told me that yes, this actually was a sewage overflow, and yes, this was raw sewage strewn across my building's parking area...and my apartment's bathroom. That's nice to know that the rancid liquid I was mucking out was, in fact, raw, untreated sewage.

The good news: they fixed it, and the landlord (an unpleasant character who I've previously locked horns with...a little over a year ago, we had a screaming match over the phone, where he threatened to take me to court because I had the temerity to replace my apartment's heater which was sparking all over my carpet and an obvious fire hazard, after he ignored two written notices from me over the course of two and a half months...we hadn't been on speaking terms since then) came by, actually apologetic for once. He had the maintenance guy come into my apartment and clean out my bathroom, which was nice, so I don't have to be exposed again to a bunch of raw sewage. He also gave me $200 off next month's rent, so it's not a total loss!
