A young married man was in a bad spot because he had decided to pay a beautiful woman $500 to be with her. As the night went on, though, he felt let down and overpriced.
To get along, they agreed that he would send her a cheque for “apartment rent.” But the man was still unhappy, so he sent only half of the agreed upon amount along with a well-written letter stating why he was upset.
In the letter, he compared their meeting to renting an apartment, noting unmet expectations such as a space that had already been occupied, a lack of warmth, and too much space.
The woman was shocked and quickly returned the bill along with a clever reply. She told him she understood his worries and suggested he didn’t know how to “operate” the heater. She then told him he had to pay the full amount or she would call his wife, which was a smart threat.
This funny conversation is a good lesson to think about our choices carefully and not jump to conclusions. When people sign deals quickly, unexpected things can happen.
The smart turn of events in the story shows how important it is to communicate clearly and understand each other. It also shows how smart the woman is and how brave she is to stand up for herself.
This story about unrealistic expectations and witty repartee teaches us an important lesson: be careful, be clear, and treat everyone with respect at all times.
