One day it'll get me killed.
So, let me give you a little back story.
We all know I work my ass off just to get a lease. Well, about two weeks ago, I walked this lady (approximately 45 years of age) to show her one of our 2 bedroom/ 1 bath town homes. She had pretty much torn up the town and was ready just to give up. As soon as I opened the door the the town home, she was THRILLED! She loved the floor plan. She loved the location of the unit. She loved EVERYTHING about it. The only thing she didn't like? The price. So, I did my thing and got the price down by $50 a month. She was MORE than pleased. I also got the new wood slatted blinds for her. More than that? I gave her the rest of the month (granted its only three days) free rent. She told me I was such a blessing to her, God sent, and that SHE LOVED ME. She said all this as she was giving me this GIANT hug. Creepy. I just gave her the sided one armed back pat... that was MORE than a violation of my personal space. I had known her for about 5 minutes at that point.
Needless to say... She leased.
She gave me HELL for 2 weeks because of her qualification to rent. I fought, fought, fought for this woman to move in. I eventually got my way. After I got the "If it goes bad, its on you. And you're over due for a bad egg" speech from my Big Boss, Nick.
This woman is nothing short of high maintenance...
Today, she came in to sign her lease and she told me again the just wonderful things about me.
*Insert eye roll here*
I had no problems getting the all the stuff for her lease signed and squared away.
Thank GOD!
So, I'm more than ready at this point to go to lunch. That means my day is halfway over and that much closer to the weekend. Well, Aaron leave about half way through my lunch hour to go to Warrior Tasks and Battle Drills. This makes Lucy FREAK OUT. So, I thought I would take her outside to potty because I was leaving soon. Lucy BOLTED out the door, darted across the street, and around the other apartment building. I chase after her, spanked her butt - go ahead and call PETA, I SPANK MY DOG- and picked her up to carry her home. I turned around *insert suspense creepy music here* to see Ms. Berry standing right there. Of course she commented on how cute Lucy was and asked if I was on lunch. I replied with a yes and she told me to enjoy it. I walk back to my apartment and close the door. Just as I opened my mouth to yell at Lucy to get in her bed for being bad... there was a knock at the door.
I look out the little peep hole and low and behold it's Ms. Berry's lover. (Mind you... This man looks like a rotten ghetto BUM). With a heavy sigh I opened to door. The man, mind you he's not on the lease) asked me if he could pull the truck up on the curb, drive on the grass to, and move Ms. Berry in.
*PAUSE*
NO ONE IS EVER ALLOWED TO DRIVE ONTO THE GRASS ON PROPERTY.
(Unless you're the carpet cleaning guy... Which, we own his company anyway)
*PLAY*
I reply with, "No sir. We do not allow anyone to do that regardless of the fact they may be moving in or out. That is an everyday policy for us. On top of that, we have our regional manager coming into town today and that REALLY won't fly."
"You mean to tell me that she pays $715 a month for rent and she cant even get close to her apartment to unload her things?! Washers and Dryers are damn heavy don't you know!"
"Well, sir. I gave her that price. She COULD be paying $50 more a month. On top of that she hasn't even payed for rent yet because I GAVE her the rest of the month for FREE."
"Well, that's just ridiculous!!"
*Insert angry Kellie slamming door here*
I look at the clock... It's time for me to go back to work. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I just spent the last TEN MINUTES chasing my stupid dog and to be bothered by a tenant who hadn't been a tenant for more than FIVE MINUTES?!
DO NOT COME NOT ON MY PERSONAL APARTMENT'S DOOR!
We are not friends of any sort. You've never done any favors for me. I've been busting my ass to get you into a lease and get what you wanted and you're going to ask for MORE and be ANGRY when I tell you that's against the rules?!
OH HELL NO!
OH HELL NO!
