COnversation I just had with a potential landlord
Advertisements [?]
The conversation went as follows: Imagine this guy's voice being really slow and shakey.

HH: Hello I'm calling about the apartment you have for rent.
LL: Oh yeah
HH: I'm in Vancouver so I was wondering if you could describe it a little more to me please
LL: Well, I thought that ad pretty well explains it all.
HH: Oh it was a nice ad but I can't look at it because I'm not there...is there anything else about it you didn't have in the ad?
LL: Well there's a 14-foot vaulted ceiling, and it's a real nice place, I've had about ten phonecalls already, it's just nobody has the money. (At this point HEyHEY is thinking 'if no-one in that town has $400 a month to spend on an apartment I'm a high roller')

It goes like this for a while until

HH: Is the stove gas or electric
LL: Eh NO no, it's got a separate furnace from the rest of the house.
HH: No I mean the elements on the stove, are they gas or electric?
LL: It's got it's own thermostat and everything. (Rambles on about the values of the place and a gas heating for about five minutes)

HH: All right I'll get my boss to go over there to look at it and I'll call you tomorrow.
LL: I've had lots of phonecalls, but no-one has the money....money talks you see.
HH: Er.... yeah...haha...I know just what you mean.
LL: Lots of people, so your boss is new in town too eh?
HH: Yup he is a new editor...pause...so I'll call ya tom..
LL: Also it's close to the liqour store, if you're interested in that kind of thing.
HH: haha....well I'll talk to you tomorrow then haha

Took 15 freakin minutes...oh boy I sense an adventure begining.
