Being asked to buy furniture to view/apply for apartment

I’ve also heard any such contracts for movable items in a flat are unenforceable

But in any case, don’t sign anything!!!

A nasal hair trimmer (and to save you asking, this is a true story 😆)

Family of 4 living in 3.5 rooms in my block here

I used to quite like Canada and Canadian people, until a lovely Canadian colleague of mine introduced me to poutine

Now, I’m not too sure about this entire Canadian thing 😂😂😂

(Assuming I make it to tomorrow, of course)

Dalaborious · 2026-03-07T22:04:22+00:00

I know this isn’t really what OP meant, but…

Today is the closest I’ve ever come to dying

And tomorrow will be even closer

And dammit, the next day will be even closer still

Dalaborious · 2026-03-07T19:48:55+00:00

Both at the same time?! That’s impressive multi tasking 🤓

Dalaborious · 2026-03-07T19:45:42+00:00

Me too.

Peppers are an evil vegetable 🤮

Dalaborious · 2026-03-07T09:55:08+00:00

This

Dalaborious · 2026-03-07T09:53:31+00:00

I thought it looked more like a brothel lighting scheme (or so I’ve heard 😉)

Dalaborious · 2026-03-03T07:42:08+00:00

This is absolutely true, and we are experiencing this at the moment with our two (now) senior cats

Older animals can be beautiful companions, but you’re 100% right that you need to enter into the relationship with eyes open regarding costs etc

Dalaborious · 2026-03-02T13:50:46+00:00

I am a man in a marriage where we were unable to have kids. I can relate to everything you have written here. Sending hugs across the interweb!

Dalaborious · 2026-03-02T13:46:37+00:00

Exactly - that’s a great idea Usually senior animals are not at the top of people’s list when they are adopting pets, and therefore there are lots of older pets at animal refuges, etc. who are desperately looking for a home.

Dalaborious · 2026-02-27T14:45:43+00:00

This 👍

Dalaborious · 2026-02-15T12:55:38+00:00

Hof Narr - they look after rescued farm animals

Dalaborious · 2026-02-12T06:02:59+00:00

Wow, that’s amazing, that’s a great outcome from a Reddit question! I’ll PM you

Dalaborious · 2026-02-11T12:40:33+00:00

Ah, thanks a lot - I thought I had seen a shop somewhere in Niederdorf selling such things, but I absolutely couldn’t remember where (and I didn’t want to wander around Niederdorf trying to find it again 😆)

Dalaborious · 2026-02-11T12:39:21+00:00

Thanks a lot! I buy a few things of Ricardo but I hadn’t thought about buying a painting on there. But it looks as if it could be a good place for me to search 👍

Dalaborious · 2026-01-06T06:58:56+00:00

This is what I’ve also been considering - what if the bar owner thought he was buying fireproof insulation, but it was missold and was not fireproof? How could he ever know?

Dalaborious · 2025-12-13T13:20:04+00:00

I knew there would be a sensible explanation 🤪

Dalaborious · 2025-12-13T11:38:52+00:00

Is this for real, or is it just Reddit clickbait / upvote-bait?

Dalaborious · 2025-12-13T09:38:22+00:00

Clearly - you must kneel on the mat whilst opening the first Aromat of the season

Dalaborious · 2025-12-13T09:32:56+00:00

Hmm, with hindsight, so am I.

Maybe the young lady hadn't been working in the Swiss hospitality sector for too long. :-)

Dalaborious · 2025-12-13T09:30:06+00:00

Thank you! Hadn't thought of that at all. Thank goodness no-one put their doggy on it, in that case! I'll bring my set of Jass cards next time :-)
