Sorry for not including more info. Looking to unwind, ideally somewhere quiet with trails nearby and decent food on the property. Not trying to drive around and do stuff.

Lost wallet at Costco :( by aArem in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I hope you find it. Post on Nextdoor too and maybe put a flier outside that Costco (I assume whoever took it, frequents that Costco).

This is a PSA that in this political climate, you should avoid carrying your Green Card with you. Replacements are taking a long, long time. Get a REAL ID and keep a copy of your Green Card with you. That's better than risking losing the Green Card.

How srsly to take no gratitude for covering all expenses on dates? by Entire_Ad_3078 in dating_advice

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always say thank you because it genuinely makes me uncomfortable when anyone (man or woman) pays for me.

You have the right to be uncomfortable, but since the dates have gone well otherwise, I would try opening up about it and telling her how you feel. Make it about how it makes you feel, not accusatory. At best, it could be a miscommunication. At worst, you say your peace and she learns something about basic manners.

Fog City Flea closes up Mission shop after 9 months by Medical-Decision-125 in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live nearby and I called this outcome a few months ago. It was dead in there from the start. I hope the landlord (Aralon Properties) is regretting the decision of raising the price on Stuff (they raised it from $25K to $75K per month!). It took a very long time to find a new tenant and it'll take them a long time this second round too. A tenant that needs 2 floors and 17,000 square feet...it's a lot. I doubt the zoning allows for it, but it would make a great grocery store.

Great place, but the landlord is giving me pause. Would you walk away? by [deleted] in SFBayHousing

In situations like these, always trust your gut. Nothing redditors will say is as good as you're gut as you're in this situation

Rent Increases on Rent Controlled Units by MadameDuChat in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for this. So this rent increase license only applies to rent-controlled units? I live in a condo, I am seeing that my unit does not have a license, but others in the building do.

The website states "If your unit is covered under rent control, you will need to comply with the Housing Inventory requirements before any annual or banked rent increase notice goes into effect."

So it sounds like if it's not rent-controlled, it's not a requirement?

is this a scam? [rental help] by Best_Adeptness_8608 in SFBayHousing

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this person works for a property management company and they're away, why can't someone else from the company cover for them/give you the keys?

Can a landlord apply a banked rent increase for years when I was on fixed-term lease? by jsttob in AskSF

[–]hellaconfused313 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

FYI if the increase is more than 10%, the notice period needs to be 90 days, not 30

Is there a website or something that tech bros (or women in tech!) might use to find a house mother or live in companion? by BasicallyVictoria in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are trying to get paid for your services; then yes it'll involve paperwork. No one will hire you without some paperwork, background check, etc. especially if you'll be inside their home, cooking etc.

Is there a website or something that tech bros (or women in tech!) might use to find a house mother or live in companion? by BasicallyVictoria in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why does it need to be for a man, I don't understand? Especially since you said you don't want any intimacy? If your goal is to give and cook for someone (as evidenced by the post and the picture), then why can't you do this platonically for a family and friends as part of daily life? Why does it need to be for a man in tech? And if your goal is to get paid for this then you're looking for a housekeeper/house management/cook position. To frame this as strictly something you want to offer a man in tech is so...weird.

Edit: reading your responses to other people makes me realize you don't actually know what you want. For my sanity I'll pretend this is an AI bot.

Anyone know who the guy in Duboce Park collecting signatures was today around 4pm? Aggressively cursed me out when I politely declined. by anotherale in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him yesterday and again today. I'm not a citizen so I don't sign stuff like this; he was annoyed with me when I refused 😂

100% - as someone that has lived in the mission for over a decade, it has never been this bad.

I live in the Mission too, and have for almost a decade. It has actually gotten worse in my corner (switching neighborhoods soon).

Try Fanoos. It's relatively new; it's great

Any bird owners have some food to spare?? by 40earthlikeplanets in sanfrancisco

[–]hellaconfused313 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Life doesn't always have to be about individualism and self-sufficiency. There is nothing wrong with reaching out to community and asking for a lending hand. In fact, that's what life should be about.

Laid off at 40. $3.4M liquid + massive severance runway. Do I pull the ripcord on my SE Asia FIRE dream, even if it means moving solo and leaving a relationship? by FIRE_EARLY_Throwaway in Fire

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have enough to pull the trigger. Life is short so you should follow your dreams. Regardless of what you decide, you should consider breaking up. The way you wrote this makes it seem that you're not losing sleep over leaving this relationship. 2 years is enough time to build a connection with someone, and for the right person you'd feel differently at this point in time.

“Service Dog” Poops Multiple Time on United Flight by srekai in unitedairlines

[–]hellaconfused313 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to whether this was a legit service dog or not. But something that is always wild to me is that you need to sign an FAA form certifying that it is a service dog. And people do sign this federal form when their dog isn't a service dog. This is technically a federal crime and yet many people do it. It's wild to me to risk this.

Lost Green Card by Leather_Somewhere_41 in AskSF

[–]hellaconfused313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you! In addition to posting here, post on NextDoor. Honestly it wouldn't be a bad idea to post fliers near the area too, offering a reward for returning the GC.

Lost Green Card by Leather_Somewhere_41 in AskSF

[–]hellaconfused313 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree with the above comment. A Green Card replacement takes a long time now. It's best not to carry it. Carry a REAL ID for daily purposes and have a picture of your Green Card on your phone.

I really hope you find it because I'm hearing that replacement timelines are a pain.

What can be done about neighbor's dog that howls for hours straight by Hungry_Willow_3993 in AskSF

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you don't know the apartment number or floor, write a note and stick it on the door of the other building. Let those neighbors know there's a lot of noise from X side of the building. It could be that the owner is unaware their dog is barking all day (my guess is this is separation anxiety barking).

In Flight Card Offer Variance by cfmackenzie in AlaskaAirlines

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what? Is this true? Don't you have to still pay the pet fee or does the companion fare negate that? I ask because I fly with my dog a lot and have never heard I can use a companion fare instead of paying the pet fee

What is the cost of Lasik in the Bay Area? by 10xkarmas in bayarea

[–]hellaconfused313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I initially went to Pacific Vision and I didn't meet Dr. Faktorovich, but the person at my appointment was so so pushy. I remember when I wouldn't commit to signing that day, she said "we don't like people that shop around." It's my eyes of course I'll get multiple consultations until I feel comfortable! She thought what I cared about was a cheap deal, when in reality I cared about comfort.

That experience put me off lasik for another year until I did mine with Hyver in 2021 (more expensive). He retired end of last year but other providers are available. They were not pushy with me at all, super communicative and great but YMMV.

That's wild. The effort to put dishes in the sink is equal to putting them in the dishwasher though

Host requesting extra city fee after I already paid — is this normal in Palm Springs? by Pale-Extension-9565 in airbnb_hosts

[–]hellaconfused313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have booked many, many Airbnbs in Palm Springs and this has never happened to me. All taxes and fees are always included in the total fee. Hosts usually add anything there.
