#14: Hey, Big Spender
Just like the Cookie Monster landlord, here’s another case of a landlord becoming overly familiar with his renter. The landlord/tenant relationship is a professional arrangement. That is a line that shouldn’t ever be crossed. That would lead to much discomfort should a problem with the apartment ever arise.
What does this landlord think he’s accomplishing with his reply? Is he trying to suggest anything? Is he trying to make a joke? We want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but we really don’t know what to make of this strange and awkward text. The whole reply just comes across as smarmy.
