Apartment EW (perhaps a bit longish)
Figures the only person who came to look at a place today had to be the rudest EW I have met in a long time. First she wanted a place asap, but when I tell her we're full, she still insists on the tour. This in itself is not sucky, maybe she would love the place so much she would want to be waitlisted and go month to month somewhere else until a place opened up. It happens. My problem was after she asked for the tour, knowing full well I had nothing to rent to her immediately she acted like I forced her to walk the grounds with me on the Bataan Death Tour of *** Apartments. We get to the unit and I start showing it off, the huge built in pantry, the large amount of counter space on the bathroom vanity, the closet large enough for guests, etc. The comments I got in return were along the lines of "A huge closet in a tiny apartment", "Looks like you don't get much redecorating for your $150 redecorating fee, do you?", and my favorite, "I guess for $150 at least it gets cleaned...but not very well apparently." The filthy offense? A couple of pieces of lint caught in the popcorn ceiling by the air vent.
Fine. She was not loving the place, so I ask her what she's looking for in an apartment and since I work all over the place maybe I can point her in the right direction. A nice touch, right? She says,"You work at different apartment complexes all over town? Doing this? That's funny!" I just looked at her sniggering face and said all smiles, "Why?" "Well, I just think it's funny how...specialized people's jobs can be, how you just find certain skill sets and fill them with...people." She said all this while laughing in my face. In my coldest tone of voice I said, "I never really thought of it that way. I just took pride in having a job that allows me to support myself and my family as best I can."
So after all this, I'm looking forward to this EW putting a whole lotta gone between us, when she asks me after she gets her ID back if we have any specials! After trashing the apartment, the community, and my occupation, wtf did she want? Did she think that I was going to offer to pay her to live there and "class the joint up"? I have no idea, but when I said there were no specials she of course demanded to know why. So I just said in kind of a resigned tone of voice already mentally filling out the comments section of the guest card with her BS, "Ma'am. We're full. We have no vacancies in the foreseeable future, we are doing waitlisting only. Communities with no vacancies have no reason to run specials. Good luck on finding you're new home."
The manager I was covering for called in later in the afternoon to see how I was doing and when I told her about the Bataan Death Tour, her only comment was "OMG what a bitch! Make sure you write all that on the guest card!"
Done and done.
