  1. I knew posting this on a Texas board someone might say this. It's a condo with a declaration, bylaws, and all that shit. I'd love to buy him out upstairs and he'd probably be happier too but I can't come close to affording that unit. It's the larger of the two units. I strategically offered him mine when I moved out specifically so I could say, "I offered you the chance to buy it," knowing full well he would try to low ball me, which he did. I countered with a ridiculously high offer and never put it on the market. Yes, I learned that lesson. I asked in my my email back if he talked to the neighbor and I haven't received a response yet. Pretty sure he is pissed, which is good for the reason above. And, for the record, I apologized and asked my tenants to take care of it which they said they would do.
  2. We don't have a lot of scholarships to give? We don't have a lot of F250's to give? What did he mean? Seems like they would have 20- 25 scholarships just like everyone else. Was he saying they have a lot of underclassman?
  3. If I were never going to live in that condo again, I would find a "normal" tenant. He has no idea how selective I've been and what kind of tenants he could have to share the building with. I like this idea of hiring an actor.
  4. It's not completely true. I responded to two of the three texts. He sent one of them while I was on vacation and did not have cell service so I never received it. I also apologized for not responding when I found out about it. Each time I've relayed his concerns to the tenant and each time they have cleared the drain. So, I take offense to being a bitch about avoiding the texts. For the record, I put that the tenants are responsible for keeping the drain clear and that they must use trash bags in the garbage cans into the lease. The neighbor is controlling and a bit of a worry wart. This is my third set of tenants and he's had some kind of issue with each of them. Both of the previous tenants told me when they moved out that the only thing they didn't like about the place was him. But, the responses here do help me see it from his point of view so I've chilled out a bit since posting it. I'm a good landlord (I don't dip on planes!) and I get tired of his shit. The tenants responded that they had a party last week and had let some things go so he may have had a point this time.
  5. What is this strategic bullshit?
  6. I own one unit in a two unit condo building. After living there for several years, I had to move out because it was too small for a family. I've held on to it and rent it out because I'll eventually move back into it at least on a part time basis until I reestablish residency and avoid the Capital Gains Tax. The owner of the other unit sent me the email below. I'd like to see how Surly would respond. Good evening PhillyD, I’ve sent you three text messages with photos about the tenants’ treatment of the back terrace to which you have not responded nor have the tenants addressed the mess. The forecast calls for a significant amount of rain this weekend with a Nor’Easter. Not only are there empty beer and wine bottles, empty glasses, newspaper and used charcoal briquettes on the ground, the table is placed one the drain. I will not support a building insurance claim if anything happens as a result of this neglect. I’m not the building manager or custodian here - this is a self-managed building that requires a joint effort to keep it maintained. I also cleaned out the building garbage can after someone emptied most of the contents of an entire beer can into the garbage can on Sunday morning. I think it’s time we discuss expectations for responsibilities for these tasks. I’m more than happy to meet with you.
  7. Sitting in traffic behind this license plate which is not centered on the back of the vehicle annoyed the living shit out of me.
  8. It was somewhere in here on that day. If you really want to go down a rabbit hole, look on his profile page and do the math on his rep. Apparently, a mod didn't think he should have been crowdsourced and propped him up.
  9. Wasn't that fuckstick banned before? Did he create a sock and rep himself back in?
  10. Are crowdsource bans permanent? Wondering because there is a poster with a rep of -191 posting in the Javonne Shepherd thread.
  11. Shame all those eggs were lost in that accident.
  12. Has to be close to rock bottom unless he's a trust fund baby or something. He is unemployable and the only source of income is a few subscribers on a Facebook page. No way aggy would give him credentials. His last asset is his season tickets. I hate to see this. Not because he doesn't deserve it - he truly deserves it. I hate to see this because when it ends, a major source of aggy lulz will go away and it will be years before another dork tops this one.

  14. High ground is important when you are Taylor Hamm.
  15. I can't imagine what was running through your mind in those 50 seconds.
  16. Those pictures are unreal. Any track and field guys know how he could do comparatively in Olympic high jump?
  17. I'm sure this happened because the I went into Dunkin Donuts about a month ago to grab some donuts and they were sold out. I shook my head wondering aloud why they called themselves a Donut Shop if they were out of the thing they were in business for. They must have taken my comments straight to upper management.
  18. The camera work is 100 times better than in years past on Fox. Last year, it seemed like every game I watched on Fox, they would miss a play because they were either showing a reply or the crew just had their heads up their ass. This year, on replays, they have added a box that shows live action in case the offense is running tempo. Fox has upped their game.
  19. Last year she mentioned a student who is from the Dominican Republican in front of a group of friends. I just looked down in a combination of laughter and shame. Until last year a non hearing person was "death" instead of "deaf." Her occasional heartburn is called intergression and she sometimes ends sentences with explamation points. Unfortunately, it seems to be genetic and has passed to my daughter who is taking French. Apparently the French greeting she has learned is pronounced, "Bon George."
