There’s nothing more obnoxious than people that make it difficult for you to give them money when you have to pay them.

Re: the money order. At Walmart if you buy a money order and then end up not needing it you can just bring it back with the receipt and they’ll give you the money back minus the fee for printing it. (88 cents at Walmart), even if it’s filled out. They make you write “not used for intended purpose on the back” and then they can get reimbursed for it. If you don’t have the receipt they’ll still cash it for you if it’s made out to you with a 1% fee. But they only cash money orders that came from Walmart at our store. I don’t know about other places.

Yeah, I imagine that an unused money order would be possible to refund almost anywhere.

I know I shouldn’t be talking, but don’t you think that’s an unreasonable judgement to make? I’m not bothered or anything, it just seems like a really weird thing to say about such a broad group of people.

It’s an exaggeration based on my personal experiences. Haven’t had one not to make an exploitative, irritating, or outrageous claim. I’m still out of hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars because I was leased an apartment infested with bedbugs, and they wouldn’t break my lease or relocate me.

Mines been wonderful. Excellent. Rents so cheap he barely makes any money. Takes care of me immediately anytime something wrong with it. Sometimes even gives me free food or even takes me out to eat at a restaurant. We also watch movies on my projector sometimes. But it’s also my dad, so my experience might not be totally typical.

(And no i don’t live with my dad but he just happens to own two houses so he rents me one of them at basically just the cost of the average cost of the water and power bills. And no i don’t take it for granted I realize what an outrageously sweet deal and huge blessing I’ve been given.)

Fuck my apartment complex’s management.

So I was significantly late on rent this month thanks to other issues that came up that required stuff like…well…bail money and an attorney. Because of this, I had to pay my rent through means other than the usual online portal. Fine, whatever.

I talked to the leasing office people and asked how much I owed (with extra fees), and if I had to pay with a cashier’s check or money order. They specifically said “either.” Went and got a money order today because it’s slightly cheaper, and brought it to them…

…only to be told, oh, no, we don’t accept money orders in any capacity and haven’t for years, it absolutely has to be a cashier’s check.

So now I don’t know what the fuck to do. I guess I lucked out that I hadn’t yet filled out the “Pay to” part of the money order, so I can just fill in my own name(?) or a friend’s and get the cash back that way, then use it to buy a cashier’s check, but I seriously shouldn’t have to do this. I’d understand (maybe) if the money order was issued from a gas station, but it’s from Chase Bank. And they won’t accept it? Are you fucking kidding me?

well, that sucks. have you figured it out?

You’re staying on Duracells lawn.

He has a fridge out there if memory serves, so it might not be that bad of a place to stay.

Social media sucks after a breakup. Find something else to do tonight.

Cook a steak, or watch Futurama.

Just be sure you take the steak from the fridge on Duracells front lawn so it’s free and coffee doesn’t get any

This is why I believe there’s a case to be made in favour of polyamory.

Oh, that’s different then. Jealousy is tough to deal with… Even if your jealousy is triggered for a good reason, jealousy rarely impresses.

Hang in there. Hope you find a way to be unjealous.

well, i survived. talked to her and sorted things out (mostly, and i’m not 100% sure, but oh well).

watching futurama is not a bad idea actually. it reminds me of ash now, which is a good thing because i really like ash.
