Couple = Two
I’ve been having some issues with my rent for this month. Called the lady at the management company on Tuesday and Wednesday, got her voicemail both times and left messages but never got a call back.
I called her again this morning and finally got through.
“Hi, this is frankNbeans and I’m a tenant at the Lakedoor Apartments. I called you a few times and haven’t received a call back from you so I was hoping you’d have some time now to talk to me concerning my lost rent check”
“Well, first of all, you only called me on Tuesday and Wednesday. That’s twice so don’t say few”
“Are you kidding me? I’m trying to talk to you to figure out what happend to my check and you’re splitting hairs about how many times I called you? Ok, I called you a COUPLE of times, is that better?”
“No, Mr Beans, you called me twice. Not a couple of times”
“Listen lady, I don’t know what the problem is but if you want to get technical, I called you TWICE. Two times. If you’re going to sit here and give me grammar lessons, a couple means two. Go look it up”
And that’s how my morning started…
