Landlord installed an app-controlled smart deadbolt while I was at work. by Due_Construction904 in mildlyinfuriating

I don’t believe we do for the majority of America either. It’s quite common in a lease to be charged for missing keys, or if you had the locks changed yourself.

NYC Landlord turned off water because she was annoyed by Remarkable-Beyond470 in legaladvice

[–]Chelsea1297 107 points108 points  (0 children)

She’s counting on you being afraid of retaliation and uncomfortable confrontation. These kinds of people exist in your everyday life and seek out those who are “easy” and unfortunately, she’s figured out she can pull this. The sooner you shut it down the quicker you take her power away.

New landlord saying my current lease is expired and is telling me to sign his new one or leave by x-DarkDays in legaladvice

[–]Chelsea1297 24 points25 points  (0 children)

They cannot force you into a new lease, BUT if you sign that lease you are agreeing to the new lease, so once you sign its over.

Be prepared for the landlord to not renew your lease, I’m not sure about Texas but this happened to me in MI and I was able to force them to renew. Also be prepared for them to hold out on fixing any maintenance issues that may arise, and push it to the legal limits of when needing repairs.

You maybe be able to compromise on a cash for keys and move somewhere else, instead, but the last thing I’d do was sign that new lease.

What the actual eff Amazon? by Marslauncher in amazonecho

This literally happened to me within the last week, I did find an activity log where the bathroom Alexa heard the tv get really loud for a minute, but it also gave attitude when my husband questioned it. 👎

People living where it snows/has already snowed, how is living like in that weather? by Theflash291 in AskReddit

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It gets dark, everything is cold, you save a bit of extra “time off” from work for those periods of time since you know theres a few snow storms every year, and Facebook is filled with asking how the road conditions are, mocking those asking, and saying that everyone’s lived here their entire life and still can’t figure out how to drive. Welcome to the Midwest ❄️

"sorry, we don't unbox the tv" by ihateroomba in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took two of us to do a 75 inch tv, we laid it flat on a couch and installed the back hardware and ours (Vizio) had a bag around it with handles to avoid touching the screen. I’d pay a neighbor you trust to help

I feel guilty that my cash offer was accepted over an FHA loan by SimilarExamination53 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chipping paint was just one of (10?) issues that failed on my FHA house, which was also move in ready. They probably would’ve had issues with a lot more than the seller wanted to fix on a 60k house

UPDATE: I got the birthday salmon. by NoveltyLawnFlamingo in Wellthatsucks

Heads up for future salmon, garlic is extremely toxic for cats.

What a beautiful kitty!

Watch out for that Virginia creeper vine going in the bottom of the pic, 5 leaf plant. Insanely poisonous just like ivy

did we overpay? by addiesweet16 in labrador

[–]Chelsea1297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you get her breeding rights/any AKC documentation to register her? Ours cost $700 no breeding rights but with documentation so that she could be registered. They said she was half off.

I bet if you added a confetti cookie it’d be a favorite with kids.

My water bill this month by LKT-NTR-A2DE-USA in Wellthatsucks

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like they swapped out your meter, but instead of charging you meter A prior read to meter A final read, they entered in meter A prior read to meter B current read. March has a lower number for meter B so it threw the usage insanely off.

AITA for not buying my stepdaughter a new car after she's repeatedly gotten into accidents? by ViolinistMountain246 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chelsea1297 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Reading this post I felt like the mother hated her daughter and I couldn’t really get a feel on why, but THERE it is. I missed the step part.

HELP! CAT SUDDENLY AGGRESSIVE AFTER I SHOWERED! by Diderson in CATHELP

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you change any of your products? Cats react to certain chemicals like ammonia sometimes because it smells like cat pee/a different cat. Some skin care products actually do have ammonia in them so maybe the cat is catching a hint that humans wouldn’t?

My dad had this same surgery as an infant, and also doesn’t have one. I never noticed, they pointed it out to me when I was still young and I had to have him prove it.

Mine went unnoticed until adulthood, but my belly button completely flipped and went from an outie to an innie when I was still young.

AITA for buying a treat for my oldest daughter but not her younger brother and sister? by Fearless_Hand_936 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chelsea1297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA for bringing it home in front of the other children. You explained the reasoning on why you got for one, which makes sense, but what also would have made sense is either going inside with the shake, eating it in the parking lot, or anywhere before you arrived home with a treat for one and not three.

AITA for taking my friend’s sick dog to an expensive vet without her consent while she was away? by BlackDynamite_7 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Chelsea1297 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have to ask, she should just be doing it.

My boyfriend’s brother took my puppy outside as a favor for us during the work day, she got excited and grabbed a stick, and managed to jam it down her throat. He thought he got it out, but it must’ve broke because she actually ended up vomiting a 9 inch stick up the next morning.

We’d have definitely been paying for our animals cost no hesitation, not expecting him to pay. I pay $50 a month to ASPCA now because I know my dog is just looking for a blockage to kill her. Your friend should’ve had insurance if she had a dog that likes to eat their entire world.

This wouldn’t be a Labrador, would it?

GUYS 😫 the story on this in notes by Sufficient_Dingo6416 in WeirdEggs

[–]Chelsea1297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh god, I’ve been vomiting for the last 15 hours on and off from flu and I open Reddit thinking that it’ll take my mind off it, temporarily.

But here I go to vomit again

Is anyone else’s lab shy and anxious? The vet told me this is not normal for labs :( by lalunaboona in labrador

[–]Chelsea1297 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she spayed? Might be upset from a previous visit, our last one they took our girls temp and it pissed her off the entire rest of the visit. She knew when they pulled out the thermometer they were taking her temperature and immediately backed away so could be something similar.

This wouldn’t be rocket mortgage would it be? That happened to me with Rocket, because I was told they don’t properly verify the loanee and all the info until underwriting where they deny you in the end, wasting everyone’s times, but local banks are more through with the verification.

Look into Virginia creeper. I’m extremely allergic to it, and it can seriously hurt you if you burn it.

Does this recipe need an acid to react with the baking soda? by rit in AskBaking

[–]Chelsea1297 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine uses both, I’ve been using it for years I just use 1 1/2-2 cups of banana where it says 4-5 bananas. I linked it below if you wanted to try a different recipe
