The correct tip is zero dollars for the absolute bare minimum legally required service every landlord I’ve had provides.

And a good chunk of the time, even that’s too high.

[-] iltoroargento@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 1 year ago

Most of them are skirting the law in some form or other. I'm probably gonna get my current landlord on implied warranty of habitability with their BS concerning mold inspections and pest control.

Lived at ny current place for 5 years, never had maintenance on anything. When shit breaks down I have to call. Live in the fucking desert in the summer and they were tryna tell me the AC wouldn't be fixed for 2 days. The fuck am I paying rent for if I also have to pay to have the house and appliances serviced? Fucken bullshit.

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Check with your local laws. Some of them will have it setup so you don't have to pay rent if the basic amenities aren't in service, and for a desert that should include AC

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'll check next time. But thankfully my wife's dad runs an AC business. had it fixed that day we just weren't trying to mooch right off the bat and he is busy.

I’ve gotta say that lemmy is the only place I’ve ever even heard of the concept of tipping landlords and I flat out refuse to believe it exists

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 year ago

It doesn't. < 10 minutes with DuckDuckGo says that it was invented by a couple of landlords on TikTok who admitted they were trolling.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Ah, well happy to say I don’t use TikTok

[-] Titou@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

TikTok is for kids or low-iq persons anyways

[-] OttoVonNoob@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

Its a meme, no one in there right mind would tip a landlord. The concept of the meme is the same as boomers saying don't eat so much avocado on toast.

I think I lost brain cells watching that

I think some wacko landlord is hyper-projecting.

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago

I never did figure out if that “loveforlandlords” subreddit was all meant to be ironic. I think it was a mixture of people clearly making insane things for the lulz, much like this meme, and actual landlords thinking, “YEAH! These people are right!”

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 15 points 1 year ago

IIRC that's how /r/thedonald started, shitposting trolls slowly being crowded out by actual crazy people.

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

Idk if it's true or not, but I heard the recent form of the flat earth movement started out as more of a "challenge and verify everything" movement. It wasn't that they actually thought the earth was flat, that was just meant to be an example of how they were going to take even the most widely accepted theories and confirm their truth before believing them.

And then it attracted a lot of crazy people who actually thought the earth was flat, and completely changed the movement.

[-] Neato@ttrpg.network 3 points 1 year ago

It ended up being mostly landlords. Poe's law and all that.

Cuck Chair is a slang term for a chair situated nearby and facing a bed, allowing for a cuckold to sit and watch their partner have sex with another person. Cuck chairs are often found in hotel rooms, inspiring the viral meme catchphrase, "Every Hotel Got the Cuck Chair."

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 year ago

It’s the chair the cuck sits in while they watch you have sex with their partner. It’s usually something comfy and kind of a lounge chair.

A running gag is how every hotel room has a cuck chair.

I also would like to know

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

I spent all my money tipping the police officer that pulled me over :/

[-] nieceandtows@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

If you are able to tip the world richest man thru Twitter blue, you deserve to tip your landlord.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I’m over here threatening my landlord with a lawsuit for complete refusal to perform duties. It’s time to create a tenants rights community on lemmy

[-] JeffreyOrange@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What country are you from? You don't have any org that supports tenants? In germany a lot of people are in the Mieterbund who help you out with legal stuff when it comes to renting.

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I live in California. I need to look up what’s available. Seriously doubt it’s going to be as good Germany though. But it’s time for me to do some fucking of my own

[-] iamtrashman1312@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Oh, I have an easy solution!

"I don't want to tip a landlord"

Is this supposed to be supporting tipping landlords?

[-] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Huh, I don't understand the format

[-] Fubarberry@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 year ago

It's set up like it's in favor of tipping landlords, but the concept is ridiculous, and so are many of the "reasons" the person can't afford it. The whole thing is a form of humor through absurdity.

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The whole thing is a form of humor through absurdity.

You hope.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The original meme featured here is in favor of tipping landlords (seriously or satirically I'm not sure), but OP is posting it ironically and laughing at it for being incredibly dumb.

[-] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That's how I interpreted it

[-] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

If they are landchads, offering good service, acceptable pricing and non-evil behavior, I'll consider it.

[-] taanegl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Mirror universe Thunberg, looking like Palpatine: "How dare you!"

Two opposed sci fi franchises, coupled with - I wanna say - a 2016.. 2018 meme? That's what I call a brainrot hat trick.
