house hunting hell (1 Viewer)

[puppetmonkey]

i was just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience -

when you go looking for a house to rent in dublin do you have to sell all your soul at once or can you give it away, piece by piece?

 

[Squiggle]

All at once I think - I also had to sign over my firstborn son (as yet unconceived).

It's a bit hellish all right!

every time i go to look for a house, i forget how horrible it is. The dealing with smarmy, spawn of the devil estate agents; crazy eye rolling landlords; weird neighbours who stare silently at you as you walk up to the door (once you eventually find the house, after following the shit directions given). then the realisation that you are going to be handing over at least half of your hard earned money for a house that has ants in the walls/feral cats out the back/ blocked drains/ broken showers etc etc. Ah, the bliss of being an independent city girl.

Well, originally that was the plan. but, as it turns out, we're all incredibly poor and unable to pay the rents demanded in this new celtic tiger society of ours. unless we want to live in ballycullen. which i dont.

Hunting of any sort is difficult.

Perhaps men, with the hunter/gatherer instinct are more successful at househunting. can anyone confirm this?

or is it just because stupid sexist estate agents don't like talking to the ladies about manly issues such as paying rent.

Don't you read fantasy books? You have got to kill the gatekeeper not give him rent.
