Is it weird that a janitor says "excuse me is this an emergency?" while he's mopping? As in telling you to leave him alone

No leave the janitor alone if it's not an emergency, they don't get 11.50 an hour to be your servant. This goes doubly so if you don't even work there. Also there's very few janitors anymore your either dealing with a maintenance worker or a part timer who cleans as one of their job responsibilities.

As in telling you to leave him alone I'd really like to know what you said to him to make him respond like that. Like did you ask him for directions to a certain office, or did you ask him to help you carry stuff? If it's the former, he's kind of rude, if it's the latter, yeah it's not weird.

Did you walk on the freshly mopped floor and then think his comment was about a general desire to be left alone

Yellow warning cones usually mean slippery floor. Not gonna lie, if that happened to me exactly as how you described it, I'd have asked him "sorry?" cause it is a bit of a weird thing to say. I don't think he was telling you to leave him alone, he was probably peeved if you walked on freshly mopped floor but it's not the end of the world.

life is a joke posted:Did you walk on the freshly mopped floor and then think his comment was about a general desire to be left alone He seemed to be vacuuming. He seemed upset I wanted to use the bathroom and I didn't know where another was so I left unsatisfied and worried I'd overstepped some unwritten rule but I thought the cones were about liability not keeping his floor pristine. Although at that time it was his workspace so I'm conflicted

Hopefully I will not be turned into a body pillow before that happens. Personally, I'd spend $30 on a cheap gopro knockoff and leave it running for a couple of days, hidden on top of the wardrobe with motion detection running. Get soem evidence of what they are up to and then break the lease before you become a skinsuit.

It's duct taped up and would be very obvious if the seal was broken. God, I'll have to loving sanitize my toys too This is really a bandaid on a terrible situation. Ideally, you should leave - if you don;t feel safe in your own bed, then 6 months will have an effec on your mental health. If y0uo can't leave - or get the roomate evicted - then at the very, very least get a deadbolt fitted to your room door. 'My roomate goes through my stuff' = words from the looney new girl 'My roomate goes through my stuff and here are multiple videos showing that' = someone you believe. Get a shoebox and put some dull poo poo in there and leave it on top of a wardrobe. Order a GoPro knock-off from Amazon and cheap USB powerpack After it has been there a week, cut a hole in it and hide the camera in there. Set it to 'motion detect' and use the powerpack to power it. Leave that there for a week, turning it on when you are out of the room.

My friend gave me her door jamb thing, so at least I don't have to wait for one to get shipped to me! The creepy room mate has been acting normal, I think, and had only interacted with me once. I don't think he suspects that I know, but might soon enough if he tries creeping through my room again 
One thing at a time!

I recently sold some stuff on eBay and got an email today telling me that my funds are available (eBay requests Paypal put funds on hold for a short period, then releases them after a certain amount of time). A few hours later I got this: Which, when I try to copy and paste it, comes out as: quote:Dear, 1) How did these guys set up the text so it was a series of letters and numbers when you try to c&p it? 2) Could this be a coincidence that it came in the day I got a real email from Paypal, or should I be concerned about my security? Edit: I'm sort of regretting opening the email tbh, maybe I'm being paranoid

Just go to PayPal’s website directly and see if there’s any notifications in your account. If it’s a legit issue they will have information through their website.

Professor Shark posted:1) How did these guys set up the text so it was a series of letters and numbers when you try to c&p it? If it's an HTML email (which it probably is), they could wrap the numbers in an element and then set its font size zero, eg: code:It's probably a coincidence, but if you're worried about it, change your password or contact PayPal directly through the website, not from a link in an email.

I'd like to buy a new personal scale since my old one (which was left behind by a previous tenant and has never been very reliable to begin with) is really inaccurate, often fluctuating by several pounds even if just step off of it and right back on without changing anything else. The problem is I don't really want to leave it in the common area because my roommates are maniacs and will likely damage, stain, or otherwise abuse anything I don't keep in my own room. However, my room is carpeted -- the only firm, flat surface in my personal space is the top of my desk and dresser, neither of which are practical for standing on. Is there such a thing as a personal scale that will work accurately even if it's on a slightly springy or uneven surface like a carpet?

It’s a shame that most home scales weigh 300 pounds so you can’t store it in one room and move it to another to use it.

True, I was overly snarky but it is the stupid questions thread, sometimes you’ll get stupid answers. You could probably use a fairly large (2’x2’) piece of plywood under the scale in your bedroom to get a better reading. You should look for a scale with the smallest feet possible to minimize the effect of the carpet if you place it down on the padded surface.

I was curious if maybe they had one that was like, a tray with the weight-measuring part on the inside instead of in the feet, but honestly yeah, "get a chunk of plywood" is a pretty reasonable and cheap solution. Might just do that. Thanks!

Is there a form or something I can file with the postmaster or UPS/USPS/FedEx and whatever other mail company in my area and give them a list of names and say "for <whatever time>, if the names to this address isn't these names, they don't live here and don't deliver the package"? I have been getting a LOT of incorrect address packages. Like an insane amount, when we first moved here it was the same last name, presumably from the previous tenants. But in the past month I've been getting more incorrect address letters then actual correct addresses. And its not like the odd birthday letter or anything, I'm talking about getting jury duty notices, medical information, DMV letters, very important stuff you want to make drat sure doesn't go to the wrong address. The kicker? None of them ever share the same names, first or last. I have gotten letters for over 10 different surnames in the past 2 months. We've been writing "doesn't live here" and put them back in the box, and its a new name that comes in later in the week. Its to the point that I'm thinking there is something illegal going on, possibly someone using fake IDs and names and using my address as their house address. And I don't want to get mixed in that. E: I got a loving Amazon package today, from someone who doesn't live here. Who fucks up their AMAZON address? Leal fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Sep 21, 2018 |

I was getting a poo poo ton of mail for the last tenant and I was literally tossing piles of mail back into the mail box that said "WRONG ADDRESS" and after a month or two the mail man left a big red note that said something to the effect of "Who the gently caress lives here? List your names" and we haven't gotten as much mail for that person since then. But I did get a huge package full of copper plumbing poo poo once.

I keep getting letters addressed to my landlady's daughter, for the first month or two after moving in I'd regularly go drop them off, but now I just toss them all back in the mailbox. It has been 2 years and I still get loving letters address to them. What the gently caress man.

Might just do that. Thanks! I'd go with a 12"x12" tile for less than $1 from a home improvement store. You don't have to cut it down to size, it won't absorb water if you drip on it after a shower, and overall looks better than a bare piece for plywood. You can ask a store rep to break open a box for you if you don't find a loose tile in the style you want.

I keep getting random mail addressed to what I assume is literally every person who has ever been connected to this apartment in any way. Really the worst is "X person who is not you or current resident" like that means anything other than "literally your trash can."

I read once that unless there is a change of address form on file, mail is legally required to be delivered to the address on it. Your postal carrier knows well that Jane Smith doesn't live in your house but, like Sisyphus, is obliged to engage in a senseless task over and over again.
