Gettin’ Cozy With Cockroaches
Even though it’s kind of a pain to move, you have to admit it’s a little bit exciting thinking about getting new space, decorating and all that fun stuff. You might start daydreaming of painting and and refurbishing that old table or polishing up that family heirloom and where you might put it.
Until you actually start your apartment hunt, and reality strikes. (Even if you’re looking in nice neighborhoods and fine with spending some money on a place.)
Is there someone out there who wants to follow me with a video camera? We could put together quite a reality show about encounters with the landlords (if that’s what you want to call them) who seem to be living on the edge of Crazyville. We could feature the beautiful places (can you sense any sarcasm here?) they are actually trying to get people to pay to live in. Here are some of my favorites. The ones that:
*Smell so bad when you walk in, you gag
*Have stains. Yes- stains. On carpets and walls and doors and…
*With dead roaches on the floors
*You have to kick/step over garbage to make it through the hallway
*Advertise “all inclusive utilities” and in fact there are no utilities included
I especially love the trick words/terms like “cozy cottage”, “cute bungalow” or “unique living situation.” Yeah, it’s unique alright. I’ll take the one with the rats please. Who do I make the check out to?
No thanks.
I knew my idea of living in an RV long ago was a good one. Even in the mess of things like this I still have fun. Let the stories pile on…
