Grr shut up

Ugh... having apt-lookers walk up to me to ask me questions while I'm in my living room pretending to work just brings out the worst in me. I can tolerate them being very brief uninvited guests, but I am not their fucking museum exhibit.

I just told one guy that I did not know what I paid in utilities, because it was all done via elves. This after giving him a "Let's see if I can make you die by looking at you. No? OK" look.

Yes, this is all counterproductive towards making the tours stop, but I'll be gone in a week anyway so I kind of don't care now.

I may have a peculiar sense of politeness in this case, but I've always felt it was bad form for the landlord to show off the place with a tenant still living there. I mean, the tenant has the lease for a certain amount of time, is paying for it, and renting it out to a new tenant after the current one is gone is really the landlord's responsibility, not yours. I've always found it awkward from both sides, too. I hate being the person looking at an apartment and having someone else's stuff in it so I can't really tell how much space there is, how clean the apartment will be after they move, etc.
