Winter Storm Hercules is here. You might as well have some fun to keep yourself from getting bored.
One clever enterprising fellow in Brooklyn decided to make the best of winter storm Jonas over the weekend and put up a listing for a shabby-chic igloo on airbnb: "dripping with ingenuity and alt-lifestyle aura lays this Snowpocalypse’s most desirable getaway" for only $200 a night. The igloo boasts room for two, air conditioning, a bathroom (???), and a washer + dryer (???). If the bathroom and laundry facilities are just nature, prepare for a bad review from me, sir.
Hi Patrick,
My name is Dustón and I work with the Airbnb Trust and Safety Team. I am contacting you regarding your new listing the “Boutique Winter Igloo for 2.”
We are happy to see that you guys are busy and having fun during the Blizpocalypse. Unfortunately, your igloo, while very well constructed, has failed to meet our occupancy standards and has been removed from search results.
Whomp whomp. They offered him $50 in credit for his troubles, which seems like a great deal for Patrick. Perhaps he'll be able to escape the aftermath of Jonas somewhere a little warmer.
It's entitled human beings like this that give the rest of the world's hard working landlords a bad rap. This landlord was pulling all kinds of criminal stunts. Not only that, but he refused to pay for the building's electricity during the icy heart of winter. That's just wrong, man. Fortunately, there was a moral enforcer around who was ready to do the research necessary to take this landlord down. By the end of it, the dude ended up owing thousands, and it sounds like that was completely justified.
