What an Absolute Bitch!

The other half and I (as I mentioned in a previous post) are looking to move into a one bedroom; from our small studio...in the same building. Saturday saw the other half available to check out the unit that I saw late last week. I loved it. He saw it. He loved it...and apparently the assistant property manager; who had never seen it, also loved it. So much so, that she went over the head of the property manager, directly to the owner, and put her hat in the ring first thing Monday morning...to move into that apartment. Monday afternoon, I called the property manager to let him know that we wanted it, and had the extra cash to pay the upped deposit. Found out that the "other interested party" was affiliated w/ the building, and that we didn't have a chance. The property manager is a really great guy, but he was clearly placed between a rock and a hard place. The other half informed me; after I told him who took the apartment away from us, that she had never seen the place; when she showed the other half, and that she loved it and she wanted it. I CANNOT stand such underhanded BS. Who does this bitch think she is? And, to disrespect her immediate boss and go to the owner directly, that tells me that she knew she was being a dirty, diseased underhanded bitch. The other half has made it his promise to comment on her behaviour the next time he sees her. Not be nasty, but make it clear that we don't appreciate that kind of junk. However, on the lighter side, the property manager has said he will do what he can for us. I hope we can get a good deal on another unit; perhaps a larger one. The good property manager was clearly not happy w/ this whole situation. Why are there people like this? All I can say is that karma's a bitch...hmmm, just like her. Convenient.
