This manipulative fuck calls me under some stupid pretense and starts complaining about his apartment.
I used to live there just over a year ago and it was a decent bachelor pad while I was living there for 11 years. When I moved out the landlord put down new carpeting, kitchen flooring and new appliances and this 50 year old guy and his wife move in a few months later. Then my former neighbor said that they called the landlord within weeks of moving there with noise complaints.
Today the new tenant calls me to ask about some stuff I left in a garage, then non-sequiturs with inquiries of fumes, odors and cat dander. He stated that the odor of cigarette smoke from his downstairs neighbor is unacceptable, yet him and his wife smoke. He then states that even thought they smoke, they always smoke outside and in the next sentence says , We have the right to clean air. Im dumbfounded. I found dumb. Really. He further relates to me that the exhaust fumes from neighbors vehicles are noticeable in the apartment, too. This house was probably built in the 1800s and has exposed Chestnut beams. Its not exactly a tight build by todays standards, but its certainly livable.
At some point, he explains that hes on disability for a herniation in some vertebrae. Then gives me a fucking unsolicited history of his education and vocations (criminal justice and painter or some crap).
Many of us on ATOT have seen these apartment threads and the end result is usually, Meh. Dont live in apartments. Buy a house, etc Sos I say to the guy, Not to be a jerk Im just playing the devils advocate here, but why did you rent an apartment if you have these concerns? His response was that when he and his wife initially rented the apartment, the windows were open. My wife reminded me that they moved in a few months after I left which would have made it December in Massachusetts.
I tried to be civil and pleasant just so I can get an item from the garage (not his garage, mind you) so that he wouldnt take it. Im supposed to meet him this weekend but Im in the enviable position of not giving a fuck about this guy or even the item. Should I let loose and tell him that hes a petty, manipulative fuck who needs to use his disability check to go to Arizona, or should I just secretly video the encounter and post it on ATOT?
