Shifty Pony posted:a corollary to the "don't rent to college students" rule is "don't rent from people that rent to college students" the house next door to my dad's place sold to a college slumlord who turned it into probably-illegal apartments and now the douchebags that rent it leave cans of four loko all over the back yard and set fire to phone books in their "bbq pit" and rev up their bro-trucks allnight and bang skanky hoes so my dad pees on their lawn.

once i was working at a mailbox-type place and when i left for a better job the owner dicked around with my last paycheck. i had been documenting everything so i got a civil hearing. the owner's response included several demonstrable lies so i was all ready to go to court but then there was a firestorm and the hearing was canceled. it was then rescheduled such that i would hvae had to take time off from my new and better job, jeopardizing that. i let it drop after doing the cost/benefit.

also y'all don't seem to understand that you don't just rent to college kids you illegally give rental preference to college students who appear to be the daughters of wealthy people they are easily the best tenants

at my undergrad university there was a jaguar limousine (not like a stretch limo, just the fancy gently caress-you car that only people with chauffeurs buy) with saudi diplomatic plates that would always park right in the middle of the footpath in front of one of the dorms

apt chat: i don't pay pet rent (i think there was like a ~$250 deposit), i think there was a regular security deposit but it was only a few hundred as well. also rent covers water, sewer, and garbage. also the town i live in has its own public utility that buys power direct from the BPA, so our electricity is like half what portlanders pay.fleshweasel posted:same at oregon state except saudi arabia, and the UAE lot of students from the gulf at portland state as well

Hovercraft posted:i would have smooched up against it with my backpack and belt and bent a mirror every single time The richest Chinese students here will have their parents buy them an audi r8 or some $80,000+ luxury car, they'll use it as their daily driver and park whereever the gently caress they want and just pay the tickets since it's nothing to them, then some of them literally just abandon the cars in the parking garage when they go home after graduating because hey who gives a poo poo I'll buy another when I get home They only really managed to put a stop to the parking poo poo like 2 years ago when the campus police/parking people started relentlessly booting/towing their vehicles.

yeh i knew a pair of japanese kids when i was in school who were from a wealthy family and they would just tell their parents "oh, yeah, we need more money, $12,000 a month is just barely enough, america is soooooooooo expensive" and the parents who had never been to america believed them i guess. the girl started school with a brand new yellow corvette then decided it was too scary so she got a brand new yellow hummer h2 instead

basically working on this campus has basically had me blasted in the face with non-stop stereotypes; i don't know why it's so bad with some of the students here and like nowhere else I've been There's a lane behind my parking garage with street parking and I've watched these students in said $80,000+ luxury cars spend over 15 minutes trying to parallel park in a spot that's like 2 1/2 car lengths long that my blind idiot self could just pull into with my fullsize F150 Like, they'll pull up, back in over the curb into the grass, pull forward, back right into the grass, get out of their car and peer quizzically at the car's position, then get back in and repeat this process for like 15 minutes i dunno driving is different everywhere maybe it's them trying to be a "proper American driver" or something instead of just pulling in and hitting the cars in front and behind them like Frank Drebin and walking off like 'idgaf' at home

From the last threadquote:
loving lol why do people work like this? Like wtf. I sell enterprise software, I started up and down the street selling loving copiers right after college. Im under 25 and over six figures. Im good at sales, I would never ever go in for this bullshit. Manager took my chair? The gently caress is this high school? Some amateur hour bullshit Smh Reading this thread is loving nuts, tech 'culture' is so hosed and divorced from reality im just  the entire time I read this thread. I just don't get it.

I can't even imagine what vitriol dogs would bring (from cat people). dogs in the office are hugely disruptive and just loving terrible lots of people are frightened by dogs, allergic to dogs, or just plain don't want to deal with dog odors, dog barking, and dog piddle in the breakroom.

the only thing worse than people bringing dogs to the office is having actual permanent dogs who live in the office bringing your dog to the office is cruel to your coworkers having a dog live in your office is cruel to the dog

the great thing about cats is that they're intensely territorial no one is tempted to bring a cat out to a bar to hang no one has ever tried to bring a cat into my office your cat stays home and shits in a box and i never, ever have to see it or smell it or interact with it unless i am stupid enough to visit your terrible house
