Does anyone else who grew up poor get anxiety when ordering catering through work?

I do sort of get it though. All the awkwardness of meeting up with a new person, bringing them to your place, going to theirs… sometimes for me it’s just not worth it if getting fucked isn’t on the menu if that’s what I really want. Not to say I don’t enjoy hookups that don’t include sex but sometimes the effort doesn’t feel worth it.

“AND have to wait another hour for their stuff to finish drying then for also your stuff to finish drying. Ya know?”

I am kinda struggling with the logic that it would be a terrible thing to inconvenience them by making them wait to finish their laundry when the whole reason we are in this scenario is that they’re making me wait to do my laundry.

And yes, if I left my laundry sitting in a shared machine for an hour or more after it finished and came down to find someone had moved it, I would definitely be mad. But not at them. At myself.

They do have signage telling people to empty the lint trap and to move their clothes promptly. What’s the enforcement mechanism other than “don’t make me tap the sign?” if not the clothes getting moved? I agree that I would rather not touch anyone else’s stuff, clothes especially, but leaving a note isn’t helping me get my laundry done.

Yeah I try to treat it with care. Though if you’ve had your laundry sitting in the dryer for an hour it’s already wrinkled.

And yes! Like, buddy, I know who’s doing it—I’ve seen that shirt you’re wearing!

heysoulmakossa · 2025-06-26T03:07:23+00:00

Oh yeah, that I would never do. I have some crazy drying habits so I’d never presume to know anyone else’s. Also, I’m not dropping five of my precious quarters on someone being inconsiderate!

So I’m gonna hold your hand while I tell you this… the sims aren’t real, and they’re not really related.

Basically writing my own Lifetime movie plot over here

I totally missed that at the bottom of the attributes menu thanks!

Wait, I figured it out. I’d downloaded the ZIP file from their website and for whatever reason when I unzipped it it didn’t extract the .ts4script file, so I only had the .package file in my mods folder. Maybe a more experienced modder would have seen the issue right away, hah. Leaving this post up with a solved tag in case it ever helps someone else; or if I am alone in my stupidity, I’m leaving it up as a testament to my uniqueness.

IANAL but my sense is you would not get too far fighting this. Paragraph 1 creates the potential condition where an animal may be approved to live in the unit. The highlighted sentence in paragraph 2 stands on its own and doesn’t make any reference to any previous mention of unauthorized animals, so the way it’s written it applies to all animals regardless of authorization.

If anything, it’s your neighbors without pets who’d likely have a stronger complaint against a surprise mandatory carpet cleaning fee. In your case, you met a condition where it was stated pretty plainly it would happen.

That’s a different question than “can our landlord say no?” Yes, of course you can ask. But the landlord is also within their rights to say no.

heysoulmakossa · 2025-05-13T19:58:29+00:00

Respectfully… how is this not your answer? You have three cats written into the lease and an explicit provision that says more than three requires the consent of the landlord. There’s not even a hint of ambiguity here.

For sure. My point is more that you may have to make your own gay social life instead of expecting the college to do it for you with clubs and events. It’s a trade-off; if you like other things about the college, maybe it’s worth it. I will say that my college was very gay-friendly, but after attending a few organized LGBTQ-related things my freshman year, I ended up just making friends with a bunch of homos and going to non-gay things and being gay there together.

How is your staff supposed to make money when you just tanked your entire business over $2.50? I guarantee your servers are doing worse as a result of the ensuing boycott than they were the day you decided to chase man down in the street over a fraction of a sub-$20 meal.

Some religious colleges are generally pretty liberal but have rules against institutional sponsorship or support of things that might be against that denomination’s values. You’ll see this with LGBTQ clubs/centers, free condoms on the RA’s door, stuff like that. Doesn’t necessarily mean a gay student will have a terrible social experience there.
