Yeah, these are mostly personality deal breakers. But practical ones can be so much more important - does this person have a job? Do they smoke? Do they own a pet you’re allergic to? Do they live in a hellhole that’s inconvenient to you?

Answers “no” to “do you believe there’s ever an obligation to have sex with someone?” or however OkC worded it became my #1 qualifier. Oh, how I miss my standards...

The people who park their cars on the street before a snowstorm annoy the hell out of my parents - they’re on a small suburban street, so one person not thinking ahead means the plow curves around their car... and their neighbors have to do more work shoveling out the street so they can get out of their driveways.

Oh, I meant minimum on the part of the management. Still, they have to follow their rules, so guess you’ll see how it goes!

All the more reason to shrug, I say! You got the place with a window right next to the front door - is no one supposed to walk in front of it? Dog’s gotta do what a dog’s gotta do.

I totally get that - it’s a weird/funny thing he does (“hey, dude’s turning in our driveway again, right on schedule”) until he pretty much goes out of his way to damage your property. Then it’s “hey, f**ker’s turning around in our g-damn driveway again.”

Well that’s... a minimum effort. Good luck!

If they’re starting to damage property (with that water leaking), that should help get the landlord on your side.

Also - can you ticket the car if it’s parked in a private driveway? I thought that’s only a risk for on-street parking or public parking lots...

I mean, you pick the dog’s turds up, right? They really can’t complain. That’s what happens when you live on a ground floor. What if a squirrel walked by and pooped during dinner? Or a stray cat? Distracting things happen when you live on the ground floor.

I made the mistake of following the link - they posted a video of a child saying “I said no pictures.” I mean... she says it on film that she doesn’t want them taking pictures of her. So they take that video on post it publicly on the web? In what world did that kid consent to that?

Tricky because it can also be a waste of money sometimes

I’d take asking over my mother just one day showing up with Proactiv and telling me I needed to use it.

Which is why they can always just hire him and then fire him at any time during their “probationary” period, like most companies write into employment contracts. They eat the training costs, but that’s a risk you take in any high turnover business.

I recommend outside vs. inside instead of day/night (or in addition to?). That’s my method for deciding on dates/activities, since I live in a place with seasons and occasional rainstorms.

Only because of the teeth. Put something over his teeth, and his pay-grade goes up. I mean, not saying he holds a candle to O-Man or anything...

Okay, 1) Cold War, not Civil War. Just looks like you misunderstood that one. And 2) pretty much every major country in the “free world” of the west gained everything on the backs of slaves. Some of them were just in other colonies, with varying end dates before or after the US.

See, I read that line about the bridesmaids and thought... maybe the makeup artist was too expensive for them, so they went with another place/doing some of it on their own? If not, yeah, at least one of them is dumb/wasn’t considerate enough to realize how much they were slowing the event down and not there for a…

In a racist chess club, the white side always wins :(

I saw this once, and it made me so angry. The stoplight in question is one of the stupidest ones to just blow through on a bike during rush hour - if you have a red light it either means a) hordes of college students have the right of way in the crosswalks and will take up the entire light crossing or b) cars are…
