My poor reader. You will tire of me repeating certain phrases like a broken record. However, sometimes, I will repeat them, because people continue to give me cause to repeat myself. Today my plea is directed towards the parents. Believe me when I say that there are times in my personal life where I am not the nicest person on the phone. Or if my electricity bill is too high, which is frequently the case, I’m not always the most pleasant person to speak with. I’m not always all smiles and endless patience, such as my job portrays. In fact, today you, Mr. Jackass, almost unleashed to Jen that I strive to keep controlled, not only in a professional setting, but also in a social setting.
What did Mr. Jackass do?
His daughter went potluck for 2 roomies in a 4/4. This means that she had one roommate that she was friends with and needed two others to occupy the four bedroom four bathroom apartment. Her friend backed out of her lease and found someone else to take over the lease for her. So now, Jackass’s daughter is living with three strangers. The stranger that took over the friend’s lease is causing trouble, not paying utilities, the works. So, Jackass calls the office. He essentially tells me that I’m an idiot, the apartment complex is run by idiots, he thinks the way that we do things here is idiotic, and he would like to speak to the manager.
Well, hell. If you’ve read my previous post, you’ll know that my “managers” aren’t there. That was the icing on the cake for Mr. Jackass. I am doing my hardest to be helpful and informative, but when Jackass stops me to tell me that I am not telling him what he wants to hear and that the manager didn’t either, but he’d rather talk to the manager because at least she is an adult… Jen almost lost her everlovin mind. I wanted to tell him that he was being rude, and if he actually wanted his problem to be remedied, then he might want to consider being polite to the people who will be taking care of it. He then left his name and his phone number, and I seem to have lost the message… Whoops.
Jackass.
