Born to Complain

complain king

My landlord is this effeminate 40 year old virgin (no, seriously) who has a penchant for nitpicking. The first time I met him, he launched into a tirade about the previous tenant over a single missing curtain ring. No shit.

Well, said landlord dropped by my place early this morning. He’s supposed to pass me back my deposit since I’m moving out on the 23rd of this month. He was late by an hour, waltzed into my place and…started complaining.

If Steppenwolf had sang Born to Complain instead of Born to be Wild, my landlord would have been on the cover of the album.

Hell, he would have snagged Malaysia a Gold Medal if the Olympics had a sport called Complaining. He certainly has a flair for it.

I listened to him rant for half an hour about the breakfast bar, niggle about the dust, and go on and on about the state of the guest toilet (which I don’t use) before I shooed him out and told him I have to get to work.

Jesus Christ, this is one natural born complainer. Pure talent. I was shocked and awed by his aptitude for grumbling.

He should have been on the cover of Maximum Whinge and Moan.

  1. ShaolinTiger: Yeah, I would have if not for the real estate agent (who I kinda like, she’s always been very nice to me, hell the woman even remembers my birthday). I haven’t got a place to stay yet, but will sometime next week. πŸ™‚

  3. julian: Erm…that is purely speculation. He’s unmarried and when certain men pass a certain age and doesn’t get any they tend to whinge and moan a lot. πŸ™‚
    KY: Nope, he has to inspect the condition of the condo before he returns the deposit so that won’t work very well.

  7. sorry Hb, I guess you hit a hot button with me; I have had 3 persons nmy lifetime kill themselves. The last one only about 24, he went home on lunch break and blew his head off with a 12 gage. The hell of it was, I spoke to him in the break room, not 30 min before. anyways, not sound heartless, but life moves on. tom

  9. HB, hope he not one of those who repeat over and over again the same subject. Once it over it should be over. Have a coworker that does that and drove everybody nuts. People just avoid him now.
