Apartment Ads

1 bdrm apt gd nghbrd with w/d hook close to d and c. call 555-3425

This is an ad in the paper. It looks like this because many people can't afford to write whole words.
What does it say? well in most cases you have to fill in the blanks on your own.

1 bedroom apartment in a good neighborhood with a washer and dryer hook-up close to downtown and college. call 555-DICK.

Despite the strange words there are some important things that this person left out. Like the price.

Because they left out the price, you can assume that they're going to try to take you for all they can. You can bet the price of the place is going to be padded up and stuff. $400 a month plus damage deposit and you have to pay your own electric bill as well as an activation fee.

That can become anywhere between $700-$1100 for the very first month. scary isn't it?
