He apologized... and he said, "Sorry for getting so angry. It just especially frustrated me that you did it twice. I let it slide the first time, but two times was too much! All good now?"
I just nodded my head along to the apology like I always do, but he contradicted himself in his apology AGAIN.
Twice instead of three times now? Also, you "let the first time slide," but you apparently told the landlord about it as well?
He thinks he’s being benevolent because in his delusional mind, you’re still in the wrong.
