I was startled. This was the first time I've heard his voice, because all communication has gone through the landlord, which happens to be his somewhat unorganized son-in-law. Of course I had paid April's rent. And both me and my roommate wrote him to ask about the 1300 NOKs that we supposedly owed him many months ago, without any response from him.
I hate when people raise their voice unnecessarily and when they think that just because they are a grown up man in their fifties they can say whatever they want to a girl in her twenties. But most of all I hate when strangers treat me unfairly.
This photo of my mom sunbathing is totally unrelated, but makes me happy again.
OMG...ARE YOU JOCKING? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION OF THIS PAYMENT?
ReplyDeleteSome people are just total idiots!!! ... I would have used slightly harsher words there in real person :)
ReplyDeletehmmm. what has the son-in-law done with the money I wonder!!?
Hope it gets sorted out!
It will definitely get sorted out somehow... :) I was just so shocked with his tone :) Thank you for caring, Lamina!
DeleteI know what you mean about the way older men speak to younger women, even though I'm older now, I remember it well. I really hope you can get it sorted out. Beautiful photo xxxx
ReplyDeleteHuseiere i Bergen er et kapittel for seg selv.
ReplyDeleteI kollektivet jeg bodde i som nittenåring insisterte den gamle, krokete huseieren å stavre seg opp 4 etasjer, låse seg inn uten å ringe på, kun for å legge giroene med husleien på stuebordet i stedet for å legge dem i postkassen i første etasje. Makan.
Utrolig. Jeg burde ikke bli overrasket over hvor frekke folk kan bli :(
DeleteWhen older people talk like that to younger people simply because they can, it makes my blood boil. And the professional way for him to handle would've been to give you the benefit of the doubt, or at least keep his voice level. He'll only be embarrassed when he finds proof of your last payment. And hopefully he does.
ReplyDeleteUgh, sorry you have to deal with that. I hate when older people talk to us twenty-somethings like that. We're not children anymore--we know what we're doing! On a totally unrelated note, that picture of your mom is so cool.
ReplyDeleteSå trist!! Hoppas det löser sig!
ReplyDeletePiękne to zdjęcie! Mam nadzieję, że wszystko się ułoży! Trzymam kciuki!
ReplyDeleteBardzo dziekuje, Aniu! (Zdiecie jest z Polski)
DeleteI am sorry that you had to deal with that. Some people just don't have any respect for others. I hate that people think they can talk that way to others. I hope you get it straightened out and that you don't have to put up with that anymore.
ReplyDeleteI think the photo is completely apt for the message at hand.
ReplyDeleteYour mother looks like she couldn't have a care in the world (and neither should you xx)
Try to remain calm and poised in this. Let it roll off your back.
Clearly a mistake has been made and I'm sure it can all be resolved with a calm demeanour and a level head.
Besides the calmer you remain the more ridiculous your old landlord will appear - not to mention you'll probably frustrate him to no end. heehe.
And he'll be even more embarrassed of his childish behaviour when he does realise that not only is he in the wrong but he's also a monumentous ass for having less maturity at 50 than a young woman in her 20's.
Hope it all works out very soon xox
Katerina - Your definitely right about that! He left me another message yesterday, correcting himself. Now I don't ow him 5300 NOKs anymore, but 650. I still don't know what those are for.
DeleteThank you for those kind words and for stopping by again!
My goodness, that totally sucks and it is such a typical behavior of that sort of people. Just a misuse of power, or something like that. They think they have the right to treat people like crap just because they are older and own the house. Maybe you can go through the landlord to get help to clear things out? Apparently there's no point in trying to deal with that person.
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, i'm right there with you girl. unnecessary yelling and pointing fingers of blame does nothing good. so sorry, and i hope all of this gets cleared up soon.
ReplyDeleteas far as the picture of your mother, so beautiful!
xo TJ
wow. that photograph is *incredible*. can i ask you permission to make a painting of it!? email me at kimia.kline@gmail.com if that's okay with you. xo.
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome, Kimia! Definitely!
DeleteHow awful! Sorry to hear about the nasty man. Love the photo of your mom!
ReplyDeleteI love this photo, too! ♥ Sorry about what happened. I also hate it when people try to accuse others without finding the time to have a decent talk with them first. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's no fun. I hope it all gets sorted out. Take a deep breath, let it pass. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteAw, that's a big bummer. I hope that everything gets sorted out soon! (and that you get an apology!)
ReplyDeleteSucks about your landlord! Stay strong. And that pic of your mom is gorgeous!
