Property Management

As if A2 property management companies weren’t getting enough bad press lately, today’s News “Police Beat” column carries an item about a woman who reported being groped by a manager when she went in to sign a lease. “She said he made her uncomfortable by standing close to her and making a comment about thong underwear on a dryer…The woman said the manager told her he wanted to show her something, then pulled her into a room, shut off the lights and began kissing and groping her.” See, there are still leases available in March.

  1. The lease-in-March “punch line” aside: What a loathsome person, the manager.
    “The woman told police she was unsure if she wanted to pursue prosecution.” Especially with this being Women’s History Month and all, I certainly hope she does…


  2. Yeah, I didn’t want to minimize it or make it sound like other things property management companies do are on a par with sexual assault, I just thought it would be funny (in a disturbing way) if someone tried to spin it that way.


  3. Oh, gotcha.
    …Notice this thread isn’t getting the numerous comments that some others are? “”Oh well, it’s just a *WOMEN’S ISSUEâ„¢*”". . . . . (/snarkasm)


  4. Yes. Obviously it’s a sign of sexism. As is the dearth of comments on the post immediately below this one a sign of anti-Craigslistism.


  5. Hey, the mitten-tofu deal got comments faster! (heh)
    Now if you could make a mitten out of tofu, you could make a million dollars. Healthy and edible mittens, that’s the ticket.


  6. David Boyle, you can’t refrain from being self-righteous for 5 seconds, can you?


  7. About tofu mittens?
    Keep you warm AND are low-fat too!!


  8. And when it warms up, you can have a mitten dinner


  9. Now you’re talkin !!!


  10. Perhaps the absence of chatter is due to there being only one possible sincere response, i.e., “Christ what a prick,” and that of the many possible snide responses the snidest and funniest had already been written.

    And Boyle, do you ever feel like that guy at a party, the one who’s had a few, the one who wanders from cluster to cluster of pleasantly chatting people, only to misjudge the tone, say inappropriate things, offend people, get defensive when others are offended, not get the message that no one wants to talk to you, and get steadily more shrill and self-important to fill the void that grows as the people slowly, in one’s and two’s and three’s drift away? And then do you ever feel like that same guy who, finding himself alone, and having learned no lessons, crawls off to repeat his parasitic performance on some other unsuspecting huddle of happy party-goers? Do you ever feel like that?

    No, I don’t suppose you do. That guy never feels like that either.


  11. Your rant is long.

    Anonymous’ last comment on “mitten dinner” is funnier. Lighten up PTSD!!!!!


  12. PSD, you’re desecrating the observance of Women’s History Month. Sheesh.


  13. I love that guy at the party! What’s a party without a buffoon?


  14. Damn. No one ever gropes me.


  15. Joke aside: You are with child? Best of luck to you and yours!!


  16. Thanks! Growing a person inside of you is pretty crazy.
