I HATE HATE HATE living in apartments, but overall the manager's not bad, I actually like her. The maintenance man , on the other hand has been a complete DBag to us since we moved in THREE years ago!
Now I'm not one to complain, I've not complained when my downstairs neighbor is bumping rap so loud at midnight that my glasses are rattling, I don't complain that people are always parking in our spot, and I don't complain that the maintenance man is a total power tripper and is completely rude.
HOWEVER, I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the bible it's written "Thou shalt not harrass the pregnant woman on her way to get lunch" because TODAY is the day I'm going to hurt someone!
They just installed 5 MPH speed limit signs in the complex. It is impossible to go 5 MPH, literally, my speedo stops at 10 and that's where it idles if I don't even put my foot on the gas. So today, I was doing my best, going 10 according to my speedo and he JUMPS out in front of me holding up his hand in a "5" and yelling "THE SPEED LIMIT'S FIVE!!!!" They put up the signs YESTERDAY!
So I say to him "I can't go 5, my car idles at 10." And he says "Well then I'll just write you up!" in front of all his hoodlum friends and I'm so mad! What was I supposed to say? So I say "OK. Do that" and pull away. NOT going 5 MPH. ahem.
He yells after me "THAT'S TWO!!!"
Now let me tell you. We've never caused a problem here. We pay our rent on time and are quiet, good tenants. He has no reason to treat me like garbage. So the first thing I do? I pull up to the office and go talk to the manager.
I lay out all the times he's been rude to me and tell her she needs to have him stop harrassing me since we've lived here nearly THREE years and he's always been a jerk.
She asked me why I never told her before and I say that I never complain about anything and she KNOWS that. She said something to the effect of the fact that she's his boss and she'll take care of it.
So as I'm walking out, he walks in. I put on my smuggest smile and say "Have a nice day!" and he looks like he's about to explode.
I hope he does. And it's icky. And then they make him clean it up, since after all, it's his job!
DBag!
