It's days like today and yesterday that make me wonder how much longer I will be able to manage apartments...
Sure, the [basically] free rent is amazing and has been a huge blessing.
But when your lease says that your rent is due on the 1st and you have a grace period until the 5th that does not mean that you get to come over at 7:30pm on the 5th to pay your rent and expect me to drop everything.
Guys, if I am sitting on the toilet, I will not get up no matter how many times you ring and knock at my door. It's just not going to happen.
Like, if it was such a desperate matter then maybe you should have come earlier.
Also, there is a slot in my door for a reason.
Why do people think that because my door says manager they can treat me like a robot.
Maybe it's my pregnancy hormones but seriously, there are people that live in apartments that act like children.
There are a lot of things that apartments are responsible for but it doesn't mean you can act like an idiot. Or a jerk. Or bark at me like a Chihuahua. Or yell at me because you didn't ask questions before you signed. Or interrupt me when I'm telling you things you don't like. Or say "I just had a heart attack two days ago" to try and get my sympathy.
Look guys, I know every one's lives are different and we all have different challenges but this person came to me with problems that were not my fault and then cried and then pulled the heart attack card on me trying to get me to do what they wanted.
I probably should have felt a little more sympathy but I just kept thinking of Dwight from The Office. Stanley has a heart attack because of a fake 'fire' that Dwight started. In two different parts Dwight makes these two statement: "Yeah. Right. I filled him full of butter and sugar for fifty years and forced him not to exercise" and "Stanley was attacked by his own heart!"
I don't know this persons life and what they have gone through. I am sorry that they got to a point that they had a heart attack. But you can't pull that card to get out of things that are your responsibilities.
I'm not an unreasonable person and the owner is not an unreasonable guy. But there are rules and laws that are in place for a reason and if you're not ok with them then TELL ME before you sign the lease so that we can work it out before we are legally bound.
And if you want to work things out then don't come yelling at me to start off with because it's not going to make me want to help you. Be nice to me and I'll be glad to help you out!
Seriously. Where's the chocolate?
On a completely different and more positive note, I ordered some things on line this week and I am super stoked about them arriving!
P.S. Baby update coming soon. Pregnancy Brain is so annoying sometimes...
