I think my landlord farted on me...
I'm still reeling and not quite sure how to process this...
I think my landlord farted on me.
It all started early in the morning as I was heading into the garage to get my car. We share a two car garage with the landlord (I live in a duplex) and he was just pulling in.
I let him pull in and exit the car as there's not a ton of space. He just bought a new Prius and he's very excited about it. Loves to talk about it. As he's exiting his car he says, "I love this car but taking care of it is like taking care of a little baby."
Not being a big "car guy" myself, I try to find some common ground and reveal:
"Yeah, I know what you mean. My girlfriend has one as well."
For some reason he seemed annoyed with this information and responded with, "Oh yeah? Well it's not like this one."
An odd response, to be sure, especially considering that he would ask her about her car everytime she would pull up to park on the street in front of their house.
I say, "I think Amber's is a year older or so but it's pretty much the same car."
"It's not green like this, though"
"Um, actually," I stammered just trying to get to my car to go get some breakfast, "it is green."
There was an awkward moment of us just standing there, staring at each other. I tried to break the tension by giving an awkward, lopsided smile when all of a sudden...
...it happened.
He turned around 180 and muttered (I'm still trying to get a clear call on what the actual words were) "so it's like that" or "how do you like that" and then farted. Loudly. And kept walking.
I was shocked, appalled and insulted. It actually hurt my feelings a little. Who does that? I really didn't know what to do at that point. Should I laugh? Should I fight him? I felt like a gentleman who was just slapped across the face with a glove.
"So it's like that."
From now on I'm making my roommate bring over the rent check.
