Context: I was to see a house to hopefully rent. It was very nice and just perfect for me. The day before I was supposed to see it the property management lady called to say the owners had already rented it out. I felt so down - how could they do that?
Speaker 1: You know when you see the perfect house to rent and someone beats you to it? That happened to me recently - the owners rented it out the night before I was to see it :(
Speaker 2: Oh man that is really annoying!  Have you found another one you like yet?
Speaker 1: Yes, but it's an apartment and this place was a lovely quiet 3 bed/2 bath place in a lovely neighborhood. Such a bummer!
Speaker 2: Oh man I would be so upset.  I totally understand!  I hope you will be able to enjoy your new place
Speaker 1: I'm sure I will so long as I have good neighbors. I'm over the first place now, but it wasn't pleasant to be pipped at the post!
