The Manager

Dumb Colombo

January 23, 2009 · Leave a Comment

If you’re not familiar with the show “Colombo”, it’s about a strange brilliant detective who plays dumb but always gets his man through amazing mathematics and intuition. He has this one move where right before he exits the door after an interrogation he’ll stop and turn…”Oh, there’s one more thing.” That’s when he hits the perp off the head with a left handed comment and the guilty party sits there with their tongue hanging out.-Case closed.

Some of the residents in my buildings are like that detective. We’ll cross paths..”hello”…”Good morining”… and I see the gears turning, it’s then I try to evacuate the area “fiddles with keys to get in door” …”music from Jaws place softly”… Then!

Oh…By the way…

DOH! I’m caught, then comes the grind, “pack the bags we’re going on a guilt trip”

There’s actually one guy that does it to me every time I see him and it’s darn right annoying! How can he expect me to do anything? I’m the manager for cryin out loud! I’m supposed to put shit off long enough till the Housing Inspector is banging down my door…at least that’s the way I’ve always seen it done!

I have one guy who’s been chasing me down for weeks and I finally found out that all he needs is and airorator for his faucet! (the thing that bubbles your water) Jeeeshhh…It’s cheaper than a light bulb and easier to replace (you don’t have to get up on a ladder). Some shit people have to do for themselves.

So anyway this guy wants me to paint a spot on his ceiling but, the whole apartment is just dripping with thick yellow nicotine, like what’s the point? Sometimes it’s just about powerplaying. Angry guy’s not getting laid so he’ll start bitch slapping anyone available to him to make him feel like he has some power still…Nope you don’t. Sorry to inform you once you stop getting laid it’s over dude…just go jump off a cliff! Believe me it’s Over!!! Same with the man hating cat ladies…Holy Shit! talk about being a bullseye! These woman are insane. More on that later.

I think when people hit their 50’s life really changes catastrophically. Woman in their 50’s look good of can look good and guys can look good if they want, you just got to work at it. Don’t give up getting laid and having sex…The world could be a better place with everyone satisfied.

Stop staring at your faucet and take a look at that cat lady, you mind find something there…get a life…I’m trying to anyway.
