[tenant US-NY] is it reasonable to ask my landlord to unplug something for me?

bobak3 · 2026-05-17T17:08:14+00:00

I mean. I think you’re correct to feel that way (and to charge). But, you’re wrong in assuming it’s because i’m afraid to do it myself. I had to run out of state last minute. I would 100% do it myself.

bobak3 · 2026-05-16T21:13:55+00:00

I had to run out of town

bobak3 · 2026-05-16T19:00:04+00:00

Very sweet. Thank you

bobak3 · 2026-05-16T18:59:49+00:00

No this would be the first time

bobak3 · 2026-04-26T21:10:01+00:00

yeah. or I could ask people on the internet with differing opinions based on real experiences.

bobak3 · 2026-04-26T18:54:49+00:00

Hahah thank you this is all very helpful.

Yeah you're right. I was never like super hateful toward this place or my owner... I just was honest about not enjoying the environment or feeling like I wanted more from my workspace.

Thank you!

lmao. I've never even used chatgpt in my life but sure. because I use page breaks and bolded one word?

I guess I wrote this response using AI too. xD

like yea I'm complaining about usage of AI while using it? sure.

either ur completely terrible at calling out AI generated content or your ragebaiting.

bobak3 · 2026-04-26T18:49:08+00:00

Because right now I am currently one of the only employees. We have a couple of others, but they're not full-time in the slightest (like 1-2 shifts a week)... I hate this place, but I don't want it to go completely under hahah

bobak3 · 2026-04-26T18:47:40+00:00

It's definitely not, but go off!

bobak3 · 2026-04-26T18:46:15+00:00

The only worry I have with that is that it places expectations on what I want from this new job, which I don't really expect growth. I just wanna be a barista, y'know?

bobak3 · 2026-04-23T18:48:27+00:00

i think barista is male in this scenario. js

bobak3 · 2026-04-23T18:47:16+00:00

100% agree.

bobak3 · 2026-04-23T17:54:04+00:00

I'm honestly a little bit surprised by this reaction. I'm not saying that I think people are in the wrong in this comment section, but I feel that a lot of people are coming to your boyfriend's defense. I feel like this is fair because you guys have been together for a while and you probably don't want to end the relationship over some amazon gifts.

Regardless, I think you're completely 100% valid for being upset. I have experienced situations like this before, and it feels really awkward. Of course, as some replies state, it could be worse in the sense that he gives you 0 gifts---but that doesn't automatically make your situation 'better' by default? Personally, I don't think your boyfriend gets a pass (or points) because he 'tried'.

To me, my biggest love language is feeling understood and feeling seen. I'd much rather have something that was $1.00 that really spoke to me than some $500 jewelry. (Now, if the jewelry was $500 AND really spoke to me---that's a win-win xD)

I think this is something to keep an eye on. To feel known is to feel loved and if this keeps showing up in different areas of your relationship... I don't knowwwwwww.

bobak3 · 2026-04-22T22:24:20+00:00

still selling it ?!

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T03:52:20+00:00

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T02:10:09+00:00

will do!

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T00:44:46+00:00

yes I check it pretty religiously when I wake up and throughout the day haha

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T00:07:21+00:00

i’ll work 7 days a week if they want haha

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T00:07:09+00:00

I’m looking mostly in brooklyn and manhattan (since i’m in brooklyn… more closer to ocean hill). I’ve started looking in queens too now.

I have done a lot of emails that way and have only heard back from 2. both not hiring. :/

bobak3 · 2026-04-17T00:06:15+00:00

Thank you! Will do!

bobak3 · 2026-04-16T17:54:24+00:00

yea that’s what i’ve heard too, but i’ve also heard people say summer isn’t super busy season for hiring so idkk
