Couple of days back I went to collect my deposit and balance amount from the landlord of the house where I was previously staying. I did rough math and was expecting to get full refund of deposit and INR 700 balance amount back but got INR 0 (yes zero) against the balance amount. Why? I still can't understand that. The guy did all the back calculation and added fake prices to take the total to an amount where there was no need to pay anything back. I tried to reason with him about it but he was not ready to listen anything at all.
It was really an irritating experience and I've never met such a greedy guy before in my life. I gave the rent in time for all the months, paid for all the expenses without any trouble and behaved perfectly well during my stay but still I get to bear this illogical behaviour from him. It was not a big amount and I really don't care about it so much but it's about the way you behave. It's about fairness and it's about being a gentleman. I can't imagine a 45 years old guy behaving like a nursery kid.
I think it all goes back to the his upbringing and his character. In the hindsight I can see it very clearly why the things that looked strange at that time happened to him. Now I can see why he got fired from his job as a primary school teacher, why he lost his (and a fellow Couchsurfer's) money in a ponzi scheme and why all the people used to say things about him that I didn't believe at that time.
I think I should post this message on Couchsurfing wall to prevent other people from falling into his trap. But not now, I'll take a call on that soon, good night everyone :)
