The Testingtard's Lament: Boo-Hoo-in' Revolution

[Aaron]

Yeah, I actually care or I would have told her not to call again.

[Flagg]

My dad was a born cunt and my grandmother on my moms side was a psychopathic cunt. Sometimes cunts are just cunts.

[Aaron]

Nature vs nurture: cunt edition.

[starku]

Listening to Flagg is always the second mistake
the first is flagg thinking anyone cares about his tryhard attitude

Get some therapy for those personal issues or shut the fuck up

[Aaron]

Dude, I'm not going to take advice from him, he's broken.

[Flagg]

Wasn't really offering advice, just commenting on the situation.

[Aaron]

Yeah, it's cool.

[Phantasee]

Sup dudes

so i decided to make a stand for the current lease

i wrote the landlady a letter saying i reject her new terms and will finish out the current agreement

she just txted me back

"please send me a copy of your last lease u signed...i do not have it.ifas you say you signed feb 15th the that is fine..it has been 27month with out any increase."


soooo what the hell kind of business doesn't keep copies of the written agreements?

it is really poorly done so surely unenforceable anyway

but geeze

[Zablorg]

i have been made the victim of relentless drive-by egging

hooligans

[adr-admin]

omg so the one house i was looking at has sale pending

but one a bit down the street just went on the market... same price too

and i prefer down the street


how kewlz

[Questor]

Why am I working at 3:30AM in the morning while I'm on vacation?

Really, WHY?

[Flagg]

Sadsack?

[Questor]

Partially that, partially the whole "get the idea out of my head so I can continue relaxing" thing.

I generally get a crazy idea about half way through the first week of a vacation.

[Dooey Jo]

welp

i'm off to the second world again

world 2-3: latvia

flying low-cost baltic airline on friday the 13th

[adr-admin]

i'm getting ridiculously nervous about the whole house thing

going to see one in about two hours, including my first face to face meeting with my real estate agent


so this meeting is kinda scary cuz i'm liek that w/ first meetings


and i'm already convinced that i'll be making an offer. the location is good, it looks ok from the outside, the taxes are good, the asking price is under my upper limit.

seeing it will influence how high i'm willing to go but i'll def make some kind of offer


that's a lot of fucking money and i'll be making a commitment

i've done the math and i can do it and should do it (though i've also done the math... it will likely clean out my precious cash reserve on down payments and closing costs. i can do it. i should do it for long term. but short term it is making me feel financially insecure)


regardless lots of scariness

[Zod]

i hope you know to get it inspected first

don't want to make an offer only to find out that the floorboards are rotting away and the pipes are creating a carbon monoxide disaster

[adr-admin]

indeed

i want to find out the floorboards are rotting and it is spewing poison gas ahead of time so i can make a much smaller offer


at letia's house last month her mother was watching this show called "house hunters"

and these people were looking at houses, espensive fucking things, and were taking them out of consideration for the stupidest reasons

"i love it but oh this shower bar isn't high enough NEXT"


i guess if you have the cash and are spending it you have a right to be picky

but really, i'd just knock the $20 it'd take to change the shower off the offer.

it's one thing if you don't like the location. can't change that after the fact. but some simple home improvement work isn't hard at all and you can just adjust the buying price to account for that stuff


ultimately these people ended up getting some $200,000 beast of a townhouse instead. blah. no home improvement is going to change the fact that you have to share a wall and a yard with someone else.

that's the kind of thing i see as a dealbreaker

not a fucking shower adjustment

[adr-admin]

lol so i just told jasmine i'll be leaving my bike at her house (since it is ~1/3 of a mile away from the place i'll be looking it, so i'll ride there and walk the rest of the way)

and she says "get a haircut. gotta make a good first impression"



lol i think the thousand benjamins are the impression that really matter


and she says i'm wrong and should just spend the ten bucks at a barber


but blargh my heart is already wearing itself out at the prospect of three new people in one day

i dont wanna make it four

[adr-admin]

i love the way this kind of nervousness always goes away as soon as the meeting happens

went quite well

[joviwan]

at letia's house last month her mother was watching this show called "house hunters"

and these people were looking at houses, espensive fucking things, and were taking them out of consideration for the stupidest reasons

"i love it but oh this shower bar isn't high enough NEXT"

The vast majority of those shows where people look at three houses and pick one, the people buying the house have already made the decision on which house to buy, and may have even put money on it, before the episode is filmed.

This may influence the level of stupidity for rejecting other options during the show. They already know where they're going to move and are going through a couple of really stagey choices for viewer consumption.

[Zod]

that just makes me glad i pretty much watch zero television anymore

[Phantasee]

Wouldn't it be a gas if they found a much nicer place after already committing elsewhere and have to find reasons to hate that which they love?

[adr-admin]

so i just got an email from the agent

the seller pays the fees

i thought i would.


this is interesting

if the buyer's agent gets a percentage of the sale price

does she have an incentive to really fight for me in price negotiations?

[starku]

Dude just tell me you haven been this naive your entire life
