Except that they : Lost 3 sets of keys for my place, "forget"/lose work requests et al and for a period of about 5 months had misplaced our rental agreement.
This sounds like my friends rental agency. Their boiler recently packed up. Fortunately, the landlord has a maintenance agreement with emergency callout. The first question they ask is "When was the boiler last serviced? It's a condition of the agreement that the boiler is serviced every 12 months."
They don't know, so they call the agency:
"When was the boiler last serviced?"
"1996."
I know that it's par for the course that real estate agencies are festering sinkholes of utter incompetence, but mine exceeds all expectations in that regard.
I'm happy to know that your friend has an equally sucky realtor, because misery loves company.
They also don't have any power going to the lighting circuit, so are currently finding their way around at night with candles.
That's... probably worse that all of my experience.
Even not having hot water, and then immediately after not having a working shower for about 3 weeks in total.
Although, in not having hot water my apartment was semi floodded and water leaked through the wall and into my bedroom, whereupon my sense were assaulted by a smell of much unpleasant mustiness.

Statistically, living where I am, I think it's about 25 times more likely I'll be murdered with a knife than with a gun.
Oh no we're not doing this in here too :P
See previous edit. It's a funny thing, danger. It doesn't feel especially dangerous to wander the streets here at night.
Sometimes I wonder if we should just let the Yakuza take over homeland security.
The reason gun violence in Japan is so low is because Japanese organized crime syndicates are infinitely more effective at policing their turf than the actual police.
Japan also has the highest incidence of "umbrella rage" in the world. Not so great afterall, huh?
I'm just checking, but you are aware that I don't live in Japan, yes? We don't have Yakuza here, although there are a few ethnic gangs (Sikhs, Triads, Romanians, Poles).
Who are you addressing? Yeah, I know you live in Europe, I was just thinking about how it didn't "feel dangerous" to wander the streets at night. It's the same way in Tokyo until you accidentally cross into burakumin territory, and then BOOM! next thing you know you're giving out handjobs at gunpoint to salarymen in the basement of a Burmese laundromat.

Flew away in a balloon
Had sex with polar bears
While sitting in a reclining chair
Now there are Zim-Bear hybrids
Running around and clawing eyelids
Watch out, a Zim-Bear is about to have sex with yooooooou!

I was actually addressing you. I wasn't sure if you'd made some kind of connection with my username (no offence intended, but people have drawn weirder conclusions before). I know what you mean, though.

Boobs were ruined for me in highschool when the girls wouldn't let me touch them.

What are you talking about?
Glasgow, Japan is a famous tourist destination. Renowned for its pumpkin smashing festival and man-made surfing lake.

*Insert joke about fake boobs here*
I've always been more interested in legs anyway.
