[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3078403, member: 9374"] Both different situations... this guy wanted to run a background check - meaning he needs my full employment history, contact information, full name, DOB AND SSN to run a full check before he could be bothered to show me the house. If this were the norm, HOW MANY PEOPLE would have access to all my personal information just in searching for a rental home? How many homes do people typically look at? We've been to at least a dozen so far. I'm just saying, I think his particular over-the-top vetting before he could be bothered is way too much just to look at a house. F*** that. He lost out on a really good possibility because he's a tool. As far as I'm concerned, he can sit on that house empty and keep paying the rent himself. I had similar experiences with used car salesmen who wanted a life history to let me test-drive a car - in spite of the fact they had a copy of my current OKDL AND left my own car on the lot while I was driving. Again... F*** that. I walked away, bought a car from someone else. I can't stand idiots who want all my contact information for routine bullsh|t. I once had a store that tried to refuse to sell me a pair of WORKBOOTS if I didn't give them my phone number. WTF??? They said it was for warranty purposes. It's a pair of F***ING BOOTS, dude. The manager had to step in and override it, I was gonna leave and buy them somewhere else - probably online, honestly. I'm not one to give out my personal information. I certainly never give out my cell phone number, like the car salesmen wanted. It's just me, but hell, if I'm TRYING to give you my money and you want to make it HARD for me... wel... screw it. There's someone else out there who wants money, I'm sure. <edit> And yes... I'm aware I can just give them a fake phone number... but the POINT is, to ME, that they need to KNOW their policies are driving away paying customers who don't think it's appropriate you should have to give a phone number to buy a pair of pants or an oil filter (I'm looking at you, O'Reilly's!).
