The advice given isnt the issue. Its the attitude its all spoken in…
Stuff like “Free (unlike your late fee that you keep racking up)” for example

That seems fairly reasonable. No one should have to put up with noisy neighbours stomping around all night or throwing house parties packing like sardines into overcrowded flats like it’s a bus in India or constantly emitted smells of dogshit, weed and asian food or be harassed for no reason or feel unsafe or otherwise disrupted in their own home or the surrounding infrastructure that they need to use as part of daily life like exits/entrances/walkways etc.
It’s called the social contract.

I like the tone actually. Hate landlords and yeah it’s a bit nasty when you think of the social dynamics but honestly sometimes you just have to reach people, because the kinds of people who become an issue also don’t tend to read the dry legal document that is their rental agreement, I guarantee you.
Maven@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Its not about it being not dry. Its moreso that its the exact type of tone that would make me want to do the exact opposite of whatever it says.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
You’re not reading right. I said the legal document of a rental agreement is dry, and morons won’t read it, so they have to have something more shouty and threatening shoved in their face, simplified and made emotional, like how you’d speak to a misbehaving animal, simple words, emphasis on the tone.
If you’d still want to do the opposite, you’re just antisocial and probably the reason this was put up.
Having dealt with such antisocial behaviour before, it was a nightmare, I only wish it was legal to deliver such individuals to the hell in which I hope they burn for all eternity.

It reads like an attempt at joviality that comes off as condescending. College students see this shit all the time.
I’m an old fart. I know better than to try to be hip. I’m not, and never have been. I get along just fine.

asian food
god forbid people season their fucking food. all foodstuffs must be boiled until grey and served with ketchup right?
jfc
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Most food is seasoned.
Most food doesn’t stink half as much.
I’m not saying Asian food is bad.
I’m not saying don’t eat it.
What I’m saying is: be mindful of others and don’t impose smells on unsuspecting people who are unfortunate enough to be there.
You wear deodorant, don’t you? Because you don’t want others to know you are sweaty, and you wouldn’t want to smell others’ sweat, would you? So you mask BO with deodorant. Especially if you’re particularly sweaty, such as after work or a workout.
So why not do so for extraordinarily stinky food?
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You wear deodorant, don’t you?
lol, I live in the PNW. we had a chill summer - barely a few weeks above 23c. I actually don’t wear deodorant 99% of the time, but do use aftershave.
when I get sweaty I go home and shower. it’s not a problem.
So why not do so for extraordinarily stinky food?
what are we talking about here? like durian stinky?
because I just suspect your definition of stinky is different, but it could be corpse flower flambe.
Perhaps it’s time to get to know the neighbors.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I live in the UK, average temp where I live is 5c, given the windchill and ~80% humidity most days, it’s cold as shit.
I also don’t produce as much BO due to maintaining fairly low primary sex hormone levels intentionally for other reasons.
I wear deodorant every single day, and perfume (lush body spray though, normal perfumes stink).
We are not the same.

What the fuck is your problem with Asian food?
Zexks@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Go microwave some squid at you office and see how well that goes down.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You mean like calamari? I didn’t know Italy was in Asia. Anyway, no thanks, that would make it all rubbery.

Asian food. Oh, so you’re racist?
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Huh? Why the fuck would I care whether my neighbor includes a cousin? If the cousin is paying to stay there then I can see some legal issues but why would this have anything to do with me?
The rest I agree with. Don’t want people bothering me.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
There’s no problem if the cousin is on the lease. That’s the point.
ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I’m sorry, but that’s weird.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Leases are weird?
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
The problem is only when the place is made for one person, e.g. a studio, and there is one official resident, but actually more unofficial residents that are on-paper guests, but de-facto stay there, and as such generate disruptive noise to the neighbours or overload some shared facilities.
The “cousin” example is just hyperbole for emphasis.
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
You wouldn’t care, but their landlord would. Not sure why you brought up the cousin when the post you replied to didn’t mention it.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Idgaf what the landlord cares about, they’re sucking the life out of society, why don’t they go suck a dick instead?
samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I don’t either, but that’s not relevant to the post you commented on at all. They said nothing about the cousin bit, only things that actually affect other people living in the area.

Very few people have actually read the social contract, and fewer still have signed it.
FishFace@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
one of these is not like the other…
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Yeah you’re right one of them is a smell some people can somehow stand because they live in it and it doesn’t make it any more appropriate to emit
FishFace@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m sure your food stinks to people who aren’t used to it. Why do you get to pass judgement on what’s appropriate there? I’m not Asian and the only issue I have with it is that it makes me hungry.
LainTrain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
I meant weed lol.
As for asian food, I think it’s a very well known fact that asian food has a smell that lingers and carries far more than most other cuisines commonly encountered in the english-speaking world.
