Entitlement mentality and relatives as tenants: Ask Bossy weighs in

[Perp]

This "Ask Bossy" advice column reminded me of all the reasons why renting to a relative is a bad idea. The sense of entitlement of the author is breathtaking!

Bossys reply was excellent!!

 

[Perp]

Bossys reply was excellent!!

Yes! She must own an IP.

 

[Indifference]

Gold!!!

 

[neK]

haha that is awesome!

I could not find a reply from Dazz, did I miss it?

 

[Dazz]

I was on the letter writers side, she sounds like she's doing it tough and really trying her best.

You are all just very mean and nasty - you should be ashamed of yourselves.

 

[Peterw]

Where is the true Dazz, when we need him, who is this imposter ....

 

[Perp]

I was on the letter writers side, she sounds like she's doing it tough and really trying her best.

You are all just very mean and nasty - you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I thought perhaps it might've been your niece, Dazz... have you lowered her rent yet?

 

[Peterw]

Perp, Dazz must be busy, he hasn't taken my bait, or yours ....

 

[Dazz]

....I'm trying to buy a property....

....I'm in the final gravy stroke - stop interrupting !!!

 

[Mokey]

I love Bossy! Even as I was reading the poster's letter I was smiling in anticipation of Bossy's response and she didn't disappoint.

 

[Perp]

....I'm trying to buy a property....

....I'm in the final gravy stroke - stop interrupting !!!

"But Uncle Dazz, I'm really struggling. You don't need any more property - you've got more than enough. You could afford to give me this place rent-free!"

Oh, and Perp would love to hear all about the new property, when you're able to take a break from messing with vendors' and financiers' minds and applying Vaseline to your rear end.

That entire reader's letter looks like a total troll to me. Someone wrote it deliberately fishing for a reaction or even perhaps the news column made it up.

People can't honestly be that stupid right??? (I don't want to hear the truth)

 

[Jonril]

... perhaps the news column made it up...

+1 for being made up BS, defiantly wouldn't rate the column as "news".

Isn't the old adage "don't let the truth get in the way of a good story"

or "don't let a slow "news" day get in the way of your copywriters"
