Good thing I didn't sign that lease, eh? I was waiting for the landlady to get home after the long weekend

He said 'well it hasn't been definite until the last few days...right...so back in June. Like... the first week in June when he took a trip to the west coast with his reportedly soon-to-be-broken-up-with girl

He figured I "might know somebody" to jump on the lease last second. Yeah, might, gee thanks

He doesn't understand the situation this put our landlord in- three days late on the lease was OK, she was not home and was getting it on Monday the 5th, but not telling her that the lease was not getting signed is different

He didn't understand the amount of sweet talking I had to do on the phone with the landlord

He doesn't understand the thousands this will cost me because- hey, now I have to move too, I can't afford this whole place by myself

He doesn't get that this made me technically homeless on Aug 1

He never even said 'sorry about this' or even 'oops'

Oh wait, he's not actually my friend. Carry on

Bingo!

By the way, sorry about the moving thing, sucks. But just know, it's like a drunk Vegas wedding, it could have been worse later!
