You're pregnant, not dead, you

You're pregnant, not dead, you freaking cow
We've always known that our apartment manager was a complete flake (not to mention a busybody), but this last Sunday takes the cake!

A friend of ours is looking for a new apartment, and despite the flaky manager we really do love our place. We recommended that he call the manager and set up an appointment to look at an apartment. He called and left her a message Thursday afternoon (she never answers the phone), and she didn't call him back until late Friday night. She couldn't/wouldn't meet with him until Sunday at 11:00 AM. She called him at 9:00 Sunday morning and told him she wasn't able to meet with him, and that she will now only be taking appointments Monday-Friday, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. He asked if she could make an exception since he WORKS during the week and currently lives an hour away. She refused to budge and advised him to ask for some time off work if he'd really like to see a unit.

Normally that would be slightly understandable, but there are over 20 vacant apartments (complex has a total of 96 - 16 units in each of 6 buildings) since they did a "housecleaning" a while back (apartments are decently priced and have heat included, so the complex occasionally attracts the less-than-savory). You'd think they'd be pushing hard-core to get new tenants. I asked our friend if she gave him a reason for cancelling on him and only working during the week. Head-explosion time. She's PREGNANT!!! That's it. Not sick, not injured, feeling perfectly fine (I know, because she's been seen powerwalking through the complex since then). Pregnant.

As a result, he is completely disgusted with her behavior and will not be rescheduling his appointment. Of course, they have a policy where if you refer a new tenant you get $100 off your next month's rent. SO not only did she disgust one of our friends, she also cost us $100. I think I might be complaining to the management company. Not too sure how much good it will do though - she's quite "buddy buddy" with the woman that opens the mail there. Shit.
