Pet Peeve

Since we've begun our hunt for a housemate I have developed a new pet peeve. Since the beginning of Febuary we've been trying to find a new housemate to fill a vacant room. We've put an ad in at the school housing list but apparently they screwed up our information. We were wondering why we haven't gotten any calls when KP said that last year they had heaps of interest. The mishap was eventually and we started getting tons of calls except a new, annoying problem began. People would call me and arrange a time to come check out the place and then they don't even show up. One girl even called to confirm and say that she would be an hour late. Then she didn't show. It was a Friday night and I had better things to do than to sit there all night waiting for a stranger. Is it really that hard to have a little bit of courtesy and respect for others???

Well a few days ago we finally found someone and it wasn't without a thought of deja vu. His name is Phil and he said that he was coming over around 4ish. Well by 6pm there was still no sign of Phil. Fortunately he called around 8 and explained that he fell asleep due to jet lag. He just got back from vacationing in Brazil and couldn't stay awake. Fair enough I guess...At least our quest to find a housemate is over. Hopefully this doesn't change the awesome dynamics that we have going on here. Only time will tell...
