Stupid People

I can feel myself getting more cynical. I swear Buffalo Tom is right...only stupid people are breeding. I went down to Clarkston last night to rent out am apartment. My dad spoke to her about four times on Friday (when he visits he answers the business phone). I spoke with her on Tuesday and we arranged to meet t sign contracts, I figured out the prorated rent and told her exactly how much money it takes to get in the place. We met at the apartment and she showed up with no money...not a dime. I get excuse after excuse: child support is late, she couldn't get an appointment for state assistance...

I, against my better judgment, agree to delay the security deposit to the following Wednesday (if not postmarked by then, she has three days to vacate). She agrees and says she doesn't have the rent portion, but she can borrow it from a woman at her house. She'll go get it (I'll run to Costco) and she'll call me when she has it so I can meet her back at the place. I get out of Costco and call her -- "I thought that I'd programmed you into my phone, but I guess I didn't press OK." She thought her friend had the money on her, but she didn't so she had to go get it. She'll be back "shortly". I told her I was going back home and she asked if she could bring it up to me that night. No. Tomorrow? No. I'm going out of town. I'll be back on Sunday, if you have all the money, call me and I may still rent it to you. I seethed all the way home. There's no way in hell I'm giving her that place.
