$22 a night ain’t bad in NY
This guy almost found the perfect apartment by New Yorker standards. The building wasn’t in the best place in the city, evidenced by the fact that police were in the building almost every day of the year. However, he scored a student discount deal where he only had to pay $22 a night to live there.
Sounds good, unless you’re not actually a student. This guy had to go to the lobby every morning to settle his bill and keep his work suit in a bag to keep up the charade. Sure, this isn’t the most terrible thing to afflict a newcomer, but it did make life more inconvenient than it had to be.
