Sheeesh!
(AR as in Anal Retentive)
I have never had such go rounds with picky people in my life as I did today!
My first lease signing of the day the guy is grilling me about every little thing in this almost brand-new duplex He really gets hung up on the mailbox key and I told him I'd get the owner to deliver it as he had not given it to us. I leave and then he calls me three times in two hours asking about the key. On the 4th call I ask him "Are you waiting for something important in the mail?" and he says "No, my mail won't get forwarded until next FRIDAY but I want to make sure I get my key." Aaarrrrgh. (Yeah buddy, the KEY is don't bug me again or you won't get the one for the mailbox until a week from next Tuesday!)
Lease signing #3, again, a guy just sweating over the smallest details. Mind you, this is a nice 2 bdr apartment in a hot area of town that he got at a steal for $700 a month. He decides he wants the whole apartment to have another detail cleaning over ONE dead fly in a window track, ONE hair in the bathroom (I know, kinda yucky) and a rust stain in the tub. I mean, c'mon! I almost lost it on that one.
Last appointment of the day, showing a rental house to a young couple from Philly. Everything is going fine until at 6:15 she gets out a tape measure and proceeds to measure EVERYTHING. No "13x9" measurements for this gal, she measures every wall, the spaces in the corners by the archways, the INSIDE of the built-in book cases and the cupboards. I drew the line at the basement and said "It's 7:00 PM and I need to call it a day." It was either that or I was gonna strangle her with that tape measure!!!
That is all. Thank you for letting me rant!
