Apr. 12th, 2014 02:59 pmNoooooooo no more apartment hunting, make it stooooooooop.
I looked at two places today, neither of which I loved but both of which were of a higher quality than the others I've seen, so I don't know if I'm being super picky or what. But the awkwardness is what gets me. Hi, I'm a total stranger, can I walk around your apartment and critique it? Oh, is this your dog? Do you have air conditioning?
Worse, we were waiting outside a building for the agent showing the apartment to let us in, and this random dude comes up and starts talking to us about the construction outside the building, how it's killing the grass, how usually the dogs are the ones that kill the grass, and then went off on a FIFTEEN MINUTE TALK about the dogs peeing on the grass. It was like old man stand-up comedy. You know the kind, where the old dude talking to you won't stop talking and the jokes aren't actually funny and would be offensive if you didn't know the person telling them was going to die too soon for it to matter.
Or am I the only person that happens to? It seems to happen to me an inappropriate amount of the time. I need to work on looking less approachable. Maybe I can get like, a stick-on face tattoo or something.
