    annoying

    Guest: yea Dave, I am looking for an oceanfront house for two weeks in June

    I tell her what's available

    Guest: can I look at it online?

    I direct her to the website

    Guest: hmmm....it looks rather old......I dont like that, what else do you have?

    I give her another property

    Guest: oh no, these houses are very old and tired looking. I'm used to something more upscale....what else do you have?

    I give another one to look at

    Guest: well Dave, I like that one but I am still a little apprehensive because it doesnt show a picture of the master bathroom..........when was it last refinished and does the bathroom have Moen faucets?

    Me: I'm not really sure

    Guest: well this is the best of the properties you have shown me but I have to know about the bathroom and your website doesnt give any comments about the furniture? How old is it and where did the owners buy it from?

    Me: we dont really know

    Guest: hmmmm.....this looks nice but there arent enough pictures....is the pool at the front or back of the house?

    Me: at the front

    Guest: well I mean is it directly in front of it or is it at an angle?

    Me: not sure

    Guest: how much shade does the pool get?

    Me: well I dont think there are any trees there

    Guest: ok......you know what, I dont think I do like that house, the windows in the living room are too narrow. Any other suggestions?


    Me: thats about all I have

    Guest: so all these other places arent available

    Me: apparently not (I was lying through my teeth to get rid of this woman)

    Guest: well I like this property here and it says online it is open but oh wait I just dont like the bedspread in that 3rd bedroom...well I will take a look around and call you back

      Depends on how much sunlight/shade her ass needs to grow.

        I've seen picky.

        I've seen anal.

        I've seen ridiculously anal.

        But this is fucking ridiculous.

        She didn't like the BEDSPREAD? She was concerned about Moen FAUCETS? It's not like she's fucking BUYING the place, she's just renting it for, what, a week? A month?

        Oh my flipping tap-dancing LORD! I would like to think this woman has bigger worries than this piddly shit.

        If not, I am really wishing bigger problems to worry about upon her ridiculous ass.

          I know when I go on vacation that the sun might shine the whole time and the water is warm and the beach is nice but if the faucets are not Moen it would ruin it for me.

            Silly Jester. If you had enough money that a few grand literally was pocket change, you'd realize how utterly catastrophic these problems are. (just kidding)

                  Dear, dear Dave. I feel for you.

                  I'm almost sure you don't have Moen faucets in your own house. I know that that lady (and I use the term loosely) would not approve of our bedspread. It's one of the first quilts Mom made. So what if some of the blocks don't face the proper way? It's warm, it's beautiful and it's ours.

                  Tough noogies, people! You're on vacation! Enjoy the every little bit of difference you will experience. There have been times when I yearned for eye-bleach when I saw the crazy fruit salad that was the decor of cabins we've had on ships. My DH had a problem with the tiny size of rooms in old-style European hotels.

                  But hey, the place was spotless. All the plumbing worked and the beds were very comfy. You can adapt. More than that, you can learn to enjoy the experience.

                  Unfortunately Dave, the idiots you have to deal with want everything to be exactly as they want. What would satisfy them? The only think I can imagine would be a telephone call like this:

                  D = Dave, our Hero

                  SC = We all know that, don't we?

                  OSC =

                  SC: Dave, the property isn't right for us. The place is too old looking and I don't like the bedspread in the third bedroom. Also, the pool needs more shading. We'll need to have that done, Dave. The faucets will need to be replaced and, of course, we'll get a fifty per-cent discount because we stayed with you about ten years ago.

                  D: Of course we'll do that! In fact we have the crew of Extreme Make-Over Home Edition standing at the ready to raze the house and build something to your specifications. They're starting on it right now. It'll be ready when you move in next week.

                  OSC: Dave, I'm hearing land movers. They're tearing down a house and we're getting a lot of dust in our pool. This isn't acceptable, Dave. We need to be compensated for the full cost of our stay.

                  D: Of course, Sir. (In your dreams)

                    it's a bedspread. close your eyes when you sleep and you won't notice it.

                    and faucets... if they don't spout rust-water i'm usually happy.
                    very picky!

                      Did this EW actually expect VRS Dave to redecorate the unit to her liking?!
                      I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
