Among them is one person whose date continually needed reassurance that she would show up, despite confirming the date the night before and that morning.

Meanwhile, a tenant reported that the hot water wasn’t working and had to get creative when the landlord asked for a photo to prove it.

Elsewhere, a woman was just trying to sell a bikini online when she got a creepy request from a man.
