Boyfriends (28m) dogs are driving me (19f) crazy only one week after moving in. Is it ok to say "they go or I go?"quote:Basically I moved in with my boyfriend about two weeks ago...beginning of June whenever that was. He has a really nice 4 bedroom house that he got from his parents (who moved to Mexico). It's completely paid for so all he asks is that I pay him $300 a month to help out with property taxes and utilities. To live in Southern California in a four bedroom close to the water for this cheap is unheard of. Lol at staying in a place for $300/mo, and deciding "well since I'm on the LEASE I can make DEMANDS", just loving lol, and the dogs are not purebred enough so maybe they should be shot?? hello police? anyone around that can shoot some loving dogs or something?

they don't even bark! Apparently "moving around too much" is grounds to ask someone to abandon their beloved pets. Age difference is a huge red flag for this not exactly being a healthy relationship though, she sounds awful be he's probably some combination of desperate, hopelessly naive and creepazoid. EDIT: and lady, the dogs probably don't like you because you constantly lock them in the garage...

If there’s something specific you don’t want someone to eat, you should mention that as an addendum absolutely. However it normally goes without saying that “help yourself to the food” is not an invitation to treat your home like Lindisfarne and if that’s the position you’ve found yourself in then the problem is really that you’re a bad judge of character.

Fatkraken posted:they don't even bark! Apparently "moving around too much" is grounds to ask someone to abandon their beloved pets. That story is fake as gently caress. It's written to make people angry, deliberately plays off emotions and biases in lazy ways ("purebreds are the only good dogs", making someone get rid of pets, stuff most people would get upset at) Then she acts like she's never met the loving dogs before she moved in, so I guess she just met this dude out of nowhere, got invited to live there full time for as close to free as it gets, and only then met the dogs and determined they had to go - after living there for a week? bullshit

Ham Sandwiches posted:I'm saying if you have some poo poo you don't want people to get into explicitly telling them it's ok to do so seems like a very, very dumb idea, to me. That's it. This guy had a bunch of food he didn't want anyone to eat that was going to sit around for a while, he could have either said "hey please don't eat the stuff in the freezer" or said nothing, but he chose to invite the dude to eat the food, so I don't get acting utterly surprised that the other person did exactly that. Gee Ham Sandwiches let's try to break down this brain teaser together Maybe when the person said "feel free to use my food" they did not mean "please clean out the freezer and liquor cabinet, just go ahead and eat and drink everything you find". Everyone gets that technically she wasn't placing any restrictions on her friend, but even if you're given carte blanche any normally empathetic person is going to see all of that poo poo in a freezer and think "dethawing and eating all of this food would be crossing a line, I won't do that". That's why someone asked you if you're on the spectrum; "how do I get all of this food into my belly and/or back to my place" is not a normal, healthy reaction to being placed in that situation.

Hi Quarkjets, let me just take a moment and explain that I find you one of the most pedantic and tedious posters on the site, and when you came in here throwing your physics PHD around w/r/t breastfeeding it all made sense, thank you for explaining the origins of your idiocy (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

It's not surprising people would ask you if you're on the spectrum Ham when you don't seem to hear the silent "within reason" that everybody else hears when people tell you to make yourself at home or you're welcome to eat my food. 7 visits to check on a cat and emptying out a persons freezer is not rules lawyering or stretching the definition, it's basically theft. It's not some "Aha, gotcha on your FALSE GENEROSITY" moment. The English language is literally filled with statements that taken to their theoretical extreme would be insane. When people say to you if there's anything you need, do you come back with an itemised list of all your chores you want them to do for you? quote:Half a dozen T-Bone steaks individually packed, a lamb leg, a frozen duck, two bags of those giant crab legs, a frozen filet of wild caught salmon... And in the fridge I had (unopened) gourmet cheeses my sister had sent to me specialty for my birthday, that I know was expensive as gently caress, and I also had on the counter two bottles of wine that cost $30/piece. Visiting a cat to make sure it has food and water briefly every couple of days for two weeks will never necessitate eating that amount of food. A whole leg of lamb is like enough to feed 5+ people lmao.

Yeah it is surprising because... get this... I'm not the person in the story dude, I wasn't in the situation nor did I eat the lady's food nor did I think that it was ok that he should eat it so it's beyond dumb to ask me about stuff personally as if I had any personal involvement in it And when I say "there are people, in this world, that will take a meaningless pleasantry and decide to rules lawyer the poo poo out of it so if you don't want them to, maybe be more clear" it doesn't mean that I agree with it or advocate it as correct, just that, if you rely on social convention as if everyone were on the same page, don't be surprised if some people abuse that vagueness and act like they did nothing wrong and I'm not sure why I have to explain this but genuinely asking people that have a different read "hey are you mentally hosed up because you happen to read this reddit story differently than I do, maybe you're retarded or something idk" is actually rude as poo poo

So I'm sure we're well past the point where people want to read my responses, though that's probably the case most of the time I post and let me just add: I disagree, I believe an explicit "hey don't eat the stuff in the freezer" is a very different thing to be "confused" about than "hey feel free to cook whatever!"

Yeah that's entirely my point, she shouldn't have given him a key to her place. That was her mistake, she should have asked someone she trusted more or just paid for a professional. Her saying the typical platitudes one normally says when someone is petsitting or babysitting is not the problem here and it's beyond weird Ham has latched onto it as some sort of fake generosity. No socially aware person would even remotely consider what the guy did a reasonable repercussion of basic politeness and it's strange to be like "hahaha she said the magic words, what did she expect?" Dude basically stole from her and would have been an rear end in a top hat regardless. It wasn't the basic social interaction that caused the situation.

My two (23F) friends keep overstaying their welcome at my (22F) apartment every weekend how do I make them stop?quote:I am the only friend that lives in a big city, they both still live in our small town about an hour away. I love them and I have a lot of fun with them but EVERY TIME they come up even if I can't hang out because I'm at work, they always stay at my house. I made the mistake of letting them know where my spare key is. Now every time I come home from work they are at my apartment. They get wasted and make a mess and all their poo poo will be in the living room, and the kitchen will have empty food boxes and liquor bottles out! I am constantly cleaning my house because they continue to leave messes. Reddit success story!

quote:I told him that if he wanted to hang out at my place and do homework, that's fine. And I told him he could treat it like it was his place as long as he didn't go in my bedroom, and that he could use my food, cook, etc. My thought was, he lives like a 20-minute drive away, I may as well make it worth his time. To me this seemed a lot more explicit than "Yeah make yourself at home" and I was explaining that if she really didn't want him to eat the stuff in the freezer while encouraging him to hang out there, do homework, and cook it may have been worth mentioning the freezer being off limits if she wanted to avoid the "Well you SAID it was ok" response to a broke college student actually cleaning out the fridge [edit]If other people want to respond to the story that's cool, I do believe my perspective has been covered and I'll go back to chiming in on other stories

I was reading all these posts about gradfood, and I had a post half-written in my head that went something like this:quote:Ham Sandwiches may not be, but I'm on the spectrum, and I absolutely would have eaten all that food over the course of two friggin' weeks. People can't survive for two weeks off of "some fruit laying around," and most people don't eat out for the majority of their meals, unless you live in LA I guess. I hate it when people explicitly tell you something's okay and it isn't, and saying "Yo, feel free to eat the food here and cook it if you need to" and being pissy that a decent amount of food is gone when you return is a garbage move. The lady straight-up told him to do it, and didn't like when he did. ...Then I realized, on this page, that my skimming had gotten the better of me, and I had missed the part at the beginning where he was making only the occasional visit and not being fully in residence for two straight weeks. Yes, that's weird as hell, who comes by once every two days and says "Ah, time to make another delicious pan-fried steak while I check to see if the cat's not dead!" (In my experience, house-sitting and cat-sitting involve staying at the residence in question, see. Didn't occur to me that there might be another way.)
