I hadn't really seen the place before taking him over to look at it. But it was NICE.

It looked BEAUTIFUL - a fireplace, a garden, two bedrooms, like a BLOCK from the park.

So while we're walking around the place, my friend - who was already concerned about the fact it was about twice the rent of his old place - kept making comments about extra expenses for - you know, the guy who delivers wood for the fireplace, a gardener, a guy for charcoal for barbecuing. He even goes on about how he doesn't need a lot of natural light because he doesn't have plants. But he decides to take the place.

And when I brought over the lease, he made this comment about the length of the lease. So I made this - offhand comment about how I could take the apartment if he didn't want it.

So then he goes on about how I should take it, then - which, you know, I make some token protests about this, because you don't just steal an apartment you found for a guy, right?

But he insists - says we'll flip for it. He goes on and on about how it's the official flip, I get to call it, and I say no catching.

I lose the flip.

But!

The coin HIT THE TABLE. It was INTERFERENCE, so I point that out. The whole point of "no catching" was there shouldn't be any interference between his hand and when the coin lands.

He doesn't agree, so I'm like fine, if he wants to ignore the rules of coin flips, he can have it, but he keeps on. He says fine, he'll "choose me" for it (you each pick odds or evens and throw out hands with a different number of fingers, and add them together to figure out if the result is odd or even) - best three out of five.

He won that.

And well, obviously it's my fault I picked wrong, but I was despondent.

It was a REALLY NICE apartment, guys.

So a couple of days later it all comes to a head. I mention, offhand, I'm still upset over losing the choose for the apartment.

He goes off, saying he can't take the place - that he's afraid I'll "mope" if he ever invites me over. But I can't take the place from him, so I refuse to take it, so I end up setting up someone else with it.

But he's somehow mad at ME when it all falls out, making snide comments when we get invited to the housewarming for the lady who took the place.
