...well, at least *I* thought so. YMMV.

This is straight from an acquaintance of mine, someone I pretty much trust, so I'm quite sure it's true. Ages ago this person went through a rough patch--lost his job, messy divorce, started drinking, all that fun stuff--and he had to sell his house since he could no longer afford to live there. And in the interim some barfly "buddy" of his hooked him up with a couple of white trash tenants who needed a place to live "for a few days" who agreed to rent the place until it sold. And by "white trash" I mean a married couple, with the henpecked guy working all day long and a rather unpleasant woman sitting around in a housecoat and curlers, smoking cigarettes and screaming fishwiferies at her "stories" on the television.

And, as one might expect from white trash tenants with a drunken nothing-left-to-live-for landlord, they decided pretty early on in their tenancy to not bother to pay the agreed-upon rent. As in, um, NEVER. And once they were installed in the house they became even more loudly abusive, if that may be believed. And started doing other charming things, like lock the doors and scream obscenities and insults at the real estate agents and prospective buyers when they would stop by to attempt to view the property. And as the "few days" moved into weeks, it became increasingly obvious, even to my drunken-stupor friend, that they were NOT going to be moving out of their own accord.  MORE Mojo! »
