Hick's Newest Resident Has Complaints

Hick rented an apartment to a new resident. It's the one the guy called about while we were on the way to our closing for the Double Hovel flip house(s). Hick says she has been living in her daughter's basement. But don't you worry about her! The son-in-law is a doctor, so it's a really nice basement. According to Hick, it was the daughter's brother who called. Which would make him the son.

"I think he musta felt bad for his sister. When I gave him the move-in date, he said, 'She can be ready to move in tomorrow!' I told him it doesn't work that way. I was getting the apartment ready."

Anyhoo... Hick met her this week. She said she had three complaints.

"She said the stove is dirty. I felt really bad! I paid Old Buddy's girlfriend to clean that apartment. I called him and he asked her: 'Didn't you clean the stove?' and I heard her in the background saying, 'I thought I did.' But I checked it, and it's not clean. That makes ME look bad! I apologized, and explained that I had paid somebody to do it. She said, 'You need to make them come back and do it right!' But she wanted an appointment to have them come in next week. So that's done.

Then she said there was no grout in the bathroom, and she wanted grout. I paid Old Buddy to do that. He did it right, but he used clear grout. So she thinks there isn't any. I told her I'd fix it. I'll just put white grout over the clear grout, and she'll see it.

She also wants one of them things The Pony has in the bathtub. Like he had here in the shower. A haircatcher. She wants it in the bathroom sink. I'll ask Pony where it came from. Walmart probably has them. So those things are easy to fix. But I feel bad about the stove."

"Is she sociable? Will she play bingo?"

"Yeah. But she has an appointment this Wednesday and will miss bingo. I introduced her to everyone at lunch, and she seems like she'll be active with them. She asked if she could get a meal saved on Wednesday. She has surgery. I told her she could get it at 11:00, and save it for later. But she said they were leaving at 10:00. I said that wouldn't work, they weren't open for lunch yet. She said she'd just have to pick up Taco Bell."

"WHAT? Taco Bell after surgery? That doesn't sound good to me. I guess you probably could get her a meal and leave it in her refrigerator. But then she might expect you to do stuff like that for her all the time."

"Yeah. I ain't startin' something like that. I told her when she can get meals. And a couple of them old ladies have already asked her to come and play cards with them. I think she'll fit in fine. I bet her family is relieved to get rid of her."

Hick is not the most diplomatic in his views. But I figure this lady will be fine as long as Hick fixes whatever goes wrong.
