Just to link this thread with the previous one
I give you the woefully-worded response I received from my former estate agents in response to an enormous angry letter and subsequent email to ask whether they'd received my enormous angry letter:

"Thank you for your email and I can confirm that I have stopped all viewings on your property until you move out because your requirement and how we can book viewings doesn’t match so out apologies for all the inconvenience so far.

I will also report this to the landlord and letting know why we are not doing any viewings on the property till you move out."

I spend a couple of hours crafting an irate but measured and formal tirade, documenting the dates and times of every transgression by their suited lettings monkeys and the best I get is a response which verges on unintelligible.

it's amazing how they go from cocky cunts
to snivelling children in 2 seconds.

I'm not sure they all do
The one I had a go at just carried on grinning like a mong. My flatmates claimed they were actually frightened and yet this cocky cunt seemed oblivious to the fact that I was inches away from throttling him with his own pink tie. (Though he did scarper pretty quickly after the viewing and 'apologised' by text message, the cowardly cunt)

I saw half a rant and was terrified.

Sorry about that
I was just particularly livid about being phoned at quarter to eight on a Friday night, and having my question, "do you realise what time it is?" being rebutted with "unsociable hours are after 8 o'clock." I would quite happily have dropped all other plans for that Friday evening to find his office and shove that fucking telephone down his throat.

It's quite alright
I found it quite amusing once the fear had ebbed away.

I don't mean to be scary.
I think estate agents just bring out the worst in me.

I could say the same about me- replacing scary with punchy
and estate agents with BOOZE (adding "s" too, of course)

/used to be a letting agent, although an excellent one

Unfortunately all correspondence I had with that lot
suggested it attracts the illiterate and/or the emotionally retarded.

often it does
most of my colleagues didn't have a gcse to rub between them. not that qualifications are the be-all and end-all, but they tended to be people who were looking for an easy 9-5.

9 to 5?
I had these cunts texting me at twenty to ten on a Friday night!
