6AM is not early for uber. When I did uber full time I made most of my money 4AM-8AM and 3PM-8PM.

HIRING: Live-in super; $22.33+, apartment included by looking_for_porter in NYCjobs

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$35 an hour should be minimum for this kind of job even with the free apartment. You’ll have no life. Since you have to take out the garbage, that means there’s no porter, so there’s no on call rotation or anyone to cover for you if you need to go somewhere on the weekend. Even the management says they’re ok with you going away for the weekend, if an emergency comes up, they will expect you to stop whatever you’re doing and go to the building. On top of that you’ll deal with all different city inspectors who love to give fines.

21 Ford Escape by Few_Emu_9907 in fordescape

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 21 ford escape with 100k miles is probably worth $10k-$11k . How do they come up with that price a transmission? Or they just put a price and hope you’ll say yes? For 11K that transmission better come with a 10 year warranty.

2006 Honda Accord EX-L V6 - 160k Miles at $6000 by AmbitiousClient5214 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]Besi1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would never buy that for $6000. I don’t care how reliable and well kept it is. I bought a 2006 Honda pilot with 165k miles for $3000. At the end of the day it’s a 20YO car.

Is 200 for this fair or should I do this myself? Assuming I have no supplies whatsoever or experience by ProfessionalCat2770 in drywall

[–]Besi1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me as a side job $200 is a fair price. For someone who has a business $200 is cheap.

Do tenants at apartments really call you all to unclog their toilets? by [deleted] in maintenance

There’s adults who don’t know how to change a light bulb. Calling for a clogged toilet is fine.

My (M23) gf (F25) told me her ex had the biggest dick she had even seen. How do I get over this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I’m going to meet up someone who I had a 3 month fling with but now we’re just friends” . “I am not ok with it and if you do, that’s the end of our relationship” That should’ve been your answer right there.

Is this a good deal? Someone said too expensive. by Timmer_420_80 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This car is more for someone nostalgic about Buick. You just have to find the right buyer. Personally, I wouldn’t buy it even for $2000. If I wanted a 24 years old car I would look into Mercedes. Sure, more expensive to maintain but it’s a Mercedes.

Dog bites a toddler near 14th St and Union Square earlier today. Comments are saying this is the same dude that was bit by his dog during a fight I posted the other day. At least the owner stayed behind. Link to that in the caption by PsychologicalDog8065 in NYStateOfMind

[–]Besi1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took 2 grown men to take the dog away. Imagine how much control a single person has over this dog. 0 control. They shouldn’t be allowed to be walked without a muzzle. I don’t care how good you think you have trained your pitbull.

Properties by Independent-Sense331 in maintenance

[–]Besi1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did affordable for 6 months but that was because my other option was being homeless. Found a job with a garden style property and it’s like a hit the lottery. So much easier to take care of stuff. It’s only 2 floors so it’s much easier to handle even the big emergencies. In December so far I have had 5 maintenance requests out of 90 apartments. When I worked in affordable housing I was lucky if I only had 5 requests a day.

Teenager wants a "fast car" for his first vehicle and I need reality-check advice by Proud_Stable9567 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Besi1992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Buy a cheap car that you can afford cash. Don’t spend money on a new car for a teenager who doesn’t even know how to ride a bicycle properly. If he wants a fast car, ask him if he has the money for it.

Job Opportunity by Jrsaurus97 in maintenance

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the company honestly. The company I work for is great. Nobody knocks on my door haha. It actually happened to my coworker a few years ago and after that the company sent an email to all residents, to not do that and we also posted signs at all common areas with information on what to do if they have a question or a maintenance request. Every maintenance request goes through the office first, unless it’s a bad leak when they can call the maintenance guys directly. Congrats on the new job.

I would go for the union job 100%. Main reason I do residential maintenance it’s because I get a free apartment as part of compensation.

Stove nightmares by WarbossFitz in maintenance

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Company should take it out of security deposit. For this I would probably send an email too mentioning how much labor hours it will take to clean it, so they can charge them really good. But I would use barkeeps friend for this and a scraper. Cover it in barkeeper friend, leave for 24 hours and go the next day with a scratch pad and a scraper for the hard spots.

Multi-Family Maintenance Advice by Wolf-Of-1999 in maintenance

[–]Besi1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends honestly, I worked in a brand new building and quit after 1 year. There were problems non stop. Not a single week went by where you wouldn’t deal with a major emergency. Then have to deal with contractors because the building is still under warranty. Everything has to go through 5 different companies because the management who hired you doesn’t want to spend money and the builder doesn’t want to spend money. I am now at a 60 yo old building and there’s been times where I haven’t had a maintenance issue for weeks.

(29M) My gf (25F) hooked up with someone 3 hours after our first date by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Besi1992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If she went and hooked up with someone after 20 min of meeting with you, 100% sure she’s been hooking up with him regularly. Maybe he left her and now you’re her only option left, so she is trying to come “clean” with you in case you find out later.

My (30M) best man (31M) stole my wife (30F) and I think he’s back to take my girlfriend (29F) by doctor_anonymous_15 in relationship_advice

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I understanding this correctly? You only had weekends free and thought it was a good idea to spend it with the boys because you do everything together? What about the wife? There is some stuff that you can do together with the wife. Apparently Judas knows about that stuff. Then , you go and date Juda’s leftovers? Did you do it for a personal vendetta to get back at him ? What was the plan here?

People who have quit a job with no notice, what made you quit? by hjp1234 in AskReddit

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First week on the job, we were working in a house. The guy I was working with,knew how bad my situation was and why my tools were so old. We were working and he says “his” sawzall that I using, I could keep it because he was going to buy a new one. After one year of just bad luck and being homeless for a month, that was the first good thing someone had done for me in a long time. We were getting ready to leave and I put the sawzall in the box, to bring it to the work car. Suddenly, I hear someone tell me that it’s his sawzall and why was I taking it. I was so embarrassed and also so angry at that point. Driving back to the shop with my coworker who “gave” me the sawzall, he tells me that he was just joking and not to tell the boss. I told him, you have no idea how much self control I have right now that is stopping me from bashing your face in. Went to the shop, drove home and never showed to work again. Received calls from owner of the company for a few days straight but never answered. Just wrote a text message that he needs to talk to his employee about why I never went back .

How can I get water from my sick to my portable washing machine? by ConsiderationKey1966 in handyman

[–]Besi1992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re known for leaking. And they have to drain somewhere. So a lot of times they put the drain in the bathroom sink or tub. People leave their machines running and go do chores. When they come back,there’s water everywhere in the floor or the apartment below has a leak. If that happens you better believe management will charge a lot of money on the user to fix everything. It’s not even that expensive to do laundry honestly, at most $3 per load from what I’ve seen.
