The Definition of the Word "Scary"

[Matt_G]

Dictionary.com says the following -

Scary
(skâre)
adj. scar·i·er, scar·i·est
Causing fright or alarm.
Easily scared; very timid.


They're wrong. The definition of "Scary" is me going to look at an apartment that was supposed to be a share with a 30 year old gay man and having a 75 year old man answer the door apologizing for lying but nobody would come see it if he told the truth. That's not scary, you're saying. Well no, but the poster size pictures of the old coca-cola lady on the wall and the paintings of said Coca-Cola lady bound and gagged all lit by black lighting were enough to send me literally RUNNING out the door.

Why does the Baby Jesus hate me?

Matt,
Just think of it as more material for your screenplay!

Honey, that was not EVEN funny today. But on the bright side, it's going to make everything else I look at seem that much better.

This is the kind of thing that could only happen to you, Matt. Was the apartment in a nice area at least?

It was a nice area in a scary building.

How about finding the perfect apartment, at the perfect price, in the perfect location, putting down your deposit, and having to give it up due to circumstances completely beyond your control? That is worse...isn't it? Feels it...

Better things will happen to you when you quit blaming the Baby Jesus.

Baby Jesus is always to blame. Every good Jew knows that.
