Inspection day: your funniest inspector story

Every veteran has one: the inspector who tested every outlet in the building, the resident who followed the tour cooking lunch, the sampled unit nobody could find a key for. Keep it clean, keep addresses and names out, and tell it well. The best story gets pinned by the admin — that is the only prize, and it is enough.

Every veteran of this work carries at least one story that gets told at every training and every holiday party — the sampled unit that turned out to be the super's own apartment, the resident who offered the inspector a full lunch and a tour of family photos. Keep them clean, keep names and addresses out, and tell them well. The pinned prize is bragging rights and my sincere respect. I'll judge nothing — what is the funniest thing that has happened on one of your inspection days?
