Raise your hand if you've ever had one of those days where you wish you could speak your mind? Write an email telling your co-workers exactly what you think of them and STILL keep job? I did this <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a dataquery="#txtMedia1p92" href="">once.</a></span> Of course, I posted it to social media anonymously. But still...I felt better :) </div>

This reader had the same idea...</div>

"I was in charge of the newsletter once upon a time, and this was one issue that I *almost* got away with publishing on my last day. It was a tough property so I decided to voice my frustrations. Even though it stayed in the "proof" stage, it still lives on and gives me a good chuckle when I read it."</div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Can someone explain why you would wrap your entire stove in foil? </span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I see this in apartments a lot. </span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Nice kitchen with a foiled-covered stove. </span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">I mean, I'm not a complete idiot, I get that you don't want to get your stovetop dirty. </span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">But don't you have to clean the foil?</span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Or do you replace the foil every time?</span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">So you never have to clean anything....</span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">K, never mind. I get it. </span></div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 22px; line-height: 1.5em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">*goes and wraps stove in foil.</span></div>

Showed a man a two-bedroom apartment.<br />He asked for an application but first wanted give me the story as to why his credit wasn't going to be great.</div>
<div style="font-size: 17px;">
So, once upon a time, he ate bad mayonnaise from a food truck.<br />He said he knew it was the mayonnaise that made him sick because it smelled weird and was a yellowish hue.<br />Not that it stopped him from eating it.<br />The smelly yellow mayonnaise made him sick.<br />(ya think?)<br />He didn't think I was grasping the severity of the bad mayonnaise situation.<br />(because I wasn't)<br />So he lifted up his shirt and showed me his colostomy bag.<br />(point proven)</div>
<div style="font-size: 17px;">
Ran his credit and, as promised, it wasn't great.<br />But it wasn't terrible either.<br />Approved with higher deposit.<br />But mayonnaise has forever been ruined for me.</div>

We are all varying degrees of crazy. You know it. I know it. If aliens are in fact spying on us like every bum on Sunset Boulevard says they are, then they know it too. When in public, you hide the crazy in order to conform to what society deems “appropriate” behavior. Some are better at this than others. When you get home, within the confines of walls and away from watchful eyes, you can let your crazy run free without worry of judgment, public persecution or jail time. Home is where you can dance naked. Where you can safely satisfy your strange fetishes. Where you can role-play or engage in conversation with yourself, out loud, about <span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Star Wars</span> or<span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> Harry Potter</span> or <span style="border: 0px; font-style: italic; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Real Housewives of Orange County</span>, and no one will judge you for it.</div>
<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It doesn’t matter if your home is rented or owned. If your home is an apartment in Compton, a mansion in Beverly Hills or a cardboard box under a freeway overpass—home is where your secrets are held. It’s where you can let your freak flag fly high and proud.</div>

<div class="font_8" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I am privy to all of it—the freak flags and the secrets. From the innocent ones to the fatal. Whether I want to be or not.</div>

<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When Cambria Clyne—a single mom down on her luck—gets the job as apartment manager at an L.A. apartment complex, she believes her life is turning around. But between having to talk to the retired couple in Apartment 22 about their loud bedroom “activities” and babysitting the owner’s man-child who lives in Apartment 40, Cambria realizes the job is nothing like she’d imagined.</span></div>
<div class="font_9" style="border: 0px; font-family: Basic, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When crime takes over the community, Cambria adds “detective” to her list of duties, determined to find the criminals terrorizing the residents and threatening her job. Joining her efforts are rival Chase, the gorgeous not-so-handy maintenance man, and Tom, her one-time-love baby daddy. As the case unravels and tensions increase, Cambria finds that perhaps she’s been a naïve accomplice all along...</span></div>

Semiannual smoke alarm check day. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Walk into an apartment and find a cat sprawled out on the carpet, basking in the sun, sound asleep. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's a No Pet Property. </div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
Whip out my phone to call the resident and when she answers I tell her, "I see you have a cat, but this is a no pet property." </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
She quickly replies with, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't have a cat."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I look down at the purring feline rubbing up against my calf. "I'm looking at it now."</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Well, it's not mine. I don't know how it got in there." </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Makes sense. Someone totally broke into her apartment, set up a litter box in the kitchen, a food bowl in the hall, and a five-foot high cat gymnasium thing in the living room. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

Resident purchased an Æbleskiver maker. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
While making the Æbleskivers, he managed to burn down half his kitchen. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
While the kitchen was up in flames, he ran out of his apartment in search of a fire extinguisher. </div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
It took several minutes for him to find one. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Once located, he broke the glass, pulled out the extinguisher, and proceeded to put out the fire. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Phew. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Now, this is when I get the call. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The damage was costly. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Shocker, he didn't have renters insurance. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Suddenly, the fire is my fault. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
I don't even know what an Æbleskiver is?<br />(I do now, thanks, Google) </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
It's my fault because he couldn't locate a fire extinguisher. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
So, I took him on a little field trip. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We took a two step journey out his door, and stared at the bright red box holding the fire extinguisher, labeled "fire extinguisher" in bold hard-to-miss lettering. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
"Oh," was his reaction. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Five years in that apartment, first time he noticed it. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
He's now suing the Æbleskiver company, because, you know, it couldn't possibly be a user error. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
(My autocorrect was having a field day with<br />Æbleskiver)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It only took me a few years working in property managment to realize that I had to write a book about this bizarre (and comical) industry, and then a few more years after that to actually write it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a series about an apartment manager. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be able to give you more details later. </div>

Answered the phone well past business hours. It was a woman who really wanted to come see the apartments. She sounded a little tired, but had read the reviews online and wanted to make an appointment for the following day. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Great. </div>
<div style="color: #141823; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Until she told me how she really wanted to come see the apartment earlier in the day, but she took too many pain pills and fell asleep. She then goes on to say how she doesn't have a lot of money, and even if she doesn't always pay rent, she's a <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">really nice person. </span></div>
<div class="text_exposed_show" style="color: #141823; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px;">
Well, I mean, at least she's honest.</div>

Resident announces she's moving two months into her one year lease.<br />Why?<br />"I'm getting married."</div>

Resident's eyes gloss over in RAGE. "You don't want me to live with my husband? You're horrible and treat people like dogs....I'm not paying anything. I'm getting married and I'm not letting you ruin my marriage.... How dare you!"</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
My deepest condolences to her future husband.</div>
