I got in a fight with my landlord today.
Way to go.
I'm a difficult person to piss off, but when it happens...ugh.
So what happened was, at some point a couple months ago, he told me that if I were to purchase plants for the yard he would take it out of rent. Cool, right? Last month I got about $30 of plants and this month I got $106. Keep in mind that I already receive a 33% employee discount and did all the installation and gardening for these plants.
Today, right before I'm about to leave for work he notifies me that the plant for rent deduction was not to exceed $100 total. He never said anything about this before today. So if I could pay him the extra $40 on top of the $880 rent check I wrote yesterday that would be grrrrrreat.
Being completely confused, I told him I was never aware of this $100 limit where he goes on saying "well, yeah, I can't really afford to take that much out of rent. I've got bills to pay and I'm not made of money."
Jeesus fucking patronizing Christ.
I have never in my life wanted to yell,
FUCK YOU
more than I did at that moment.
First of all, landlord, your daddy owns the house yet I make the payments to you.
Second of all, you raised the rent $115 when my roommate moved in without even stating in the original lease that the rent would go up if I got a roommate.
Third of all, you just returned from a vacation to the Caribbean where you proposed to your girlfriend.
Fourth of all, you just bought a new Mercedes SUV.
Don't fucking tell me you are not made of money.
Grrrrhhh.
