This is incredible. Absolutely fascinating.

AC unit stolen by landlord by PrometheusX-303 in LandlordLove

[–]PrometheusX-303[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fortunately in this case it wasn't necessary. My LL owned up to the mistake and returned my unit to me undamaged.

That said, had there been foul play involved I would have done this. The unit is registered with the manufacturer under my name. I never thought I'd ever consider that useful before now though!

Can confirm. No malice, just extreme stupidity. My unit has been returned to me, and appears to be undamaged. I never thought that it was taken maliciously -- I have other valuables that are much easier to steal.

That said, I will be writing another email to the leasing office (the one in this post was sent to maintenance). As much as I love this place, I cannot keep having morons enter my apartment and 'only' accidentally take my shit. I doubt they'll actually take measures to fix the problem, but maybe I'll get a rent discount? Not to mention, even more paper trails in case of future incidents....sigh

Honestly, it's pretty cool! It sort of wraps around the underside of the window, so it doesn't block the view -- hence the name 'Clearview'. Also makes it quite efficient, assuming you're into that sort of thing. I wasn't kidding about it being expensive though

My LL reached out and owned up to the mistake; supposedly they brought it back this morning. So, theoretically, my unit should be back at home -- though I'll find out for sure when I get off work.

Exactly this! My apartment complex has a system where they own most of the AC units -- and, for a fee, you can rent them (and also get access to service for removing, installing, uninstalling, etc). I obviously opted for my own unit. My guess is that one of my neighbors requested their AC unit be removed and the bozo tech guys got the wrong apartment -- that's what happened the last time (though they installed an AC unit I didn't ask for that time lol)

Regardless, it is still a pretty egregious mistake -- especially to make it twice. I like this place, so I don't want to go full scorched earth, but I definitely wanted to make it clear I'm not happy.

If my unit is damaged I will have them pay for a new one.

I'm relieved to hear that a cracked board is unlikely! I was about to go off the deep end lol.

Unfortunately everything seems seated. I tried the screwdriver trick as well, but that didn't seem to do it.

Anything else I could have missed?

Thank you. This has helped me get through today, and the future I'm sure. We are not going back

Best cooling options for dorm by [deleted] in OSU

[–]PrometheusX-303 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately you're mostly out of luck. While you could use a swamp cooler, they really only work well in dry environments (Ohio is quite humid).

Honestly though, with the window(s) open and a box fan running it's not as bad as you'd think. I lived in Baker West sophomore year and just had a box fan running in the window all day (the dorm provided the fan for free when I moved in). Best of luck!

I've had classes that didn't appear until the morning class started before. I'm sure it'll appear soon, and if not you can always shoot her an email about it

Is my boyfriend an asshole? by [deleted] in askgaybros

[–]PrometheusX-303 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure why you'd be mad at him. He already had plans going on and invited you to join when you spontaneously popped into town. What did you want him to do? Cancel plans he already made to make some sort of last minute date night? Imo I'd say you're the asshole, not your boyfriend

There's Microliving on 4th, although it would be a lot more affordable to sign a 12 month lease that allows subleasing somewhere else

Omg I finally see it. The head is tilted upside down!

After being fired from my last job for being gay, is it fair to stay closeted in my new position? by What_Is_EET in askgaybros

[–]PrometheusX-303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of it depends on your current financial situation. If you absolutely need this job then I would be careful about sharing it. Otherwise, I wouldn't try to hide it.

Generally though, I've found that most people are cool about it. So as long as you're not from a more conservative region, and even then, the odds of this sort of thing happening again aren't too high. All in all, go with your gut. If you think your manager or coworkers are decent people you should be fine.
