Not long ago I got a call at about 11:45 PM on a weeknight. Being a landlord, I always answer the phone:
Me: (groggily) Hello?
Caller: Hi, I was calling about the apartment for rent, is it still available?
Me: Yes…
Caller: Can you tell me more about it? When can I see it?
Me: (thinking maybe she didn’t realize about different time zones) Are you calling from abroad?
Caller: No, I’m right here in town.
Me: I don’t normally take calls this late.
Caller: Oh…. Should I call back tomorrow morning?
Me: No thanks. Goodnight
If she calls at all hours before she even sees the place, I suspect she’s the kind of tenant that calls at 3AM when she sees a spider.
