My roommate Rob [1] answered the door. An older gentleman there asks if we've
been having any plumbing problems. [2] Upon hearing this, I head towards the
front door.

“Yes,” I said. “This past Saturday.”

“Okay, there's a problem with the sewer system here and we can't repair it
until tomarrow, so until then if you can keep the water usage to a miminum
that would help,” he says.

“Okay, will do,” I said.

Ah, so that explains the odd behavior I saw on Saturday.
