This has to be one of the dumbest ideas ever...

A duck... but what also floats on water?

I wouldn't trust someone that would pull that as a landlord... I wouldnt trust them as far as I could throw roseanne barr (which indeed is not very far!)

Yeah, I don't put up with this kind of shit. I would have taken my business elsewhere, or if this really was the ideal apartment aside from being treated like a child, I would have told the leasing agent to treat me like a professional and tell me the monthly lease without any tricks/games.

 

[Toasthead]

so rent somewhere else? I dont understand why you asre so upset about something you have total control over

that's pretty f---ing offensive to quadriplegics. I'm rather inebriated at the moment, but...well, to quote will arnett...

"Come on!"

Which part do you find oh so f--ing offensive, calling them mentally challenged or comparing them to MartyMcFly? 😀

 

[alkemyst]

do you have to use it for rent....were the apartment chicks hot?

 

[robphelan]

pick a duck = stupid game.

almost sounds discriminatory if someone of a diff color skin got the same apt but at a diff price.

Well do they all know you that well now? Can't you just turn down the offer, and come back later and hopefully get the $500 duck? I don't really know how many there are or the odds here, but I'd at least try something like this.

Yeah it was the same lady twice in a row.

Thing was, they made you put down a $60 non-refundable application fee before picking the duck. So if I decline, im about $60. When she left the room I did check all the ducks and there was indeed a $500 duck. 🙁

Should have payed her $60 to have another shot.

Should have paid her $600 to have 10 more shots.

And ask for all the ducks' discounts, cumulative.

Chances are all of the ducks had the same amount written on them

Give them the rubber duck back. Tell them you changed your mind and you want to cash in on your $200 rubber duck.

Lost my job in Eugene and found one in Beaverton. Apartments up here are about 1.5 times as expensive for equivalent space and features.

Wooo Beaverton. I was born there. This is the first, and probably last, time I will hear that city mentioned.

Probably not.

We have Intel, Nike, and Tektronix up here.
And all three of them are doing crazy things to survive in this messed up economy.
Dont be suprised if someday you hear about massive layoffs and the whole town going to shit.
Wonder what that would do to the housing market.

Rent somewhere else would be good advice but the OP states that the price was right even before the rubber ducky discount. So as childish as it is there's that part of our brain that wants to see if we can be lucky enough to pull the $500 duck. Once you play their game and pull a duck, you can no longer be the adult and talk with them and get $500 off guranteed.

the game seems fun for a chance at less each month...the people that hate it need to get out more.

You can't expect a place with low cost apts. to go all out on entertainment.
