The Only Valid Landlord

property management company: thanks for submitting a repair ticket. we'll have someone call you in 1-2 weeks me: awesome thank you private landlord: sorry to hear your roof caved in. my son Bonzo is on his way over to fix it with a blowtorch me: awesome thank you I know a lot of landlords are jerks but my favorite landlord ever was an older eccentric gay man and whenever something went wrong in my apartment he would always say “I’ll send one of the boys over.” And then some absolutely shredded young man would show up in white jeans, exceptionally polite, and fix it the same day. you had the only valid landlord ever

A screenshot contrasts a slow, indifferent property management company with a private landlord who immediately sends his eccentric landlord’s muscular handyman son to make repairs. The joke is that this unusually attentive and colorful landlord is portrayed as the ideal one, despite the absurd blowtorch offer and suggestive phrase “one of the boys.” It is shared as a humorous reaction to bad landlords or delayed maintenance.
