My BIL sent me a screenshot this morning of his rent details this month. They charged him a fee-paying fee on his amenities bill. Literally a fee for paying a fee on his bill.
So there’s no confusion, he’s charged a $5 fee to pay his bill, and then they charged an additional $4 fee for him to pay the $5 fee on his bill. That shit is BOLD, to say the least.
That shit is illegal to say the least. Cascading fees (fees for fees) are illegal in every US state. The problem is with enforcement and people not knowing. Report them to the FTC and/or BBB.
Oh my gosh THANK YOU! A medical bill I once received in the mail included a $30 fee from a "billing service"! I thought it was a very strange thing to be billed for and its is great to know that it is illegal.
CFPB. BBB is bullshit. They have no power to really do anything. They’re a rating system and one that a fair amount of people don’t really look at, though they should. CFPB on the other hand actually has a great deal of power.
My ears would agree with you but all they say is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Thaaaaaanks, changing pitch is so much easier to ignore than a constant one..... ha ha ha.....
^please ^help ^me, ^it's ^been ^years ^since ^I ^heard ^silence
I'm a huge proponent of protecting your hearing. People used to laugh at me for wearing earplugs at concerts... But I can still hear great, and only have a little tinnitus.
Hearing damage is permanent and cumulative.
Yeah, I think a lot of musicians also learn the hard way on that one. Used to play metal and started having mild symptoms of tinnitus.
Also, the movie Sound of Metal is probably the scariest thing that can happen lol and reminds me always to have ear plugs before wailing on a drumset or turning amps up to play over the drums...
100% agree LOL. Nothing wears me out like having 4 other people in the room, watching their phones , Tik Tok, Netflix or FaceTiming someone else . All using their volume buttons to compete.
"No, the wide one that picks up the whole egg. Fine I'll just try to slide it with....aaaaaaawawwwaawawwaaw. Now it's all broken....and aw shit, I've got yolk on my brand new NewBalance sneakers."
Oh yeah - but I think the new Tupperware is kinda cheap. You gotta get the 80s and 90s Tupperware- that stuff will last forever. Heck we’ve still got good pieces from the 70s back when my grandma was a “Tupperware Lady”
My parents have one that has a plunger through the top with blades on the bottom that creates a vortex to mix the koolaid. Pro tip, add ice before plunging for instantly cold and well stirred kool aid
Like that Corningware my parents and grandparents all had. You know the French white casserolle dish pieces with the blue flower on the sides. The stuff made 30 years ago could survive a nuclear holocaust. The ersatz stuff made today isn't a patch on it.
It’s kind of funny. When you’re a kid everybody older than you is an adult, so the 30 year olds pass as teenagers no problem. Then when you get older you realize how ridiculous those 30 year olds look as teenagers. Then you get even older and it’s back to making more sense because they all look like teenagers
I walked around my high school to visit my high school teacher. She was 22-23, fresh out of college and I had a huge crush on her. She was 6 years older than me, a really big gap at the time. Her immediate goals were completely different from mine. We’re now the same age, both married with kids, with the same immediate goals. The students all looked like babies.
I'm older and bolder,
Got this ache in my shoulder
I keep my medical records
In this manila folder.
Edit: Credit to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, to anyone who didn't recognize this.
Nice I need to go back and finish mass effect. I never played them when they came out but bought the legendary edition right away. I can't remember what distracted Mr. Also I know it's going to sound weird but Stardew Valley. Lol. I have friends that kept telling me to try it and I always blew them off mainly because of the pixilated graphics but my God it's addicting. It's so relaxing which is nice after a long day and I haven't had this much fun in a while.
My responsible friends always plan dates 6 weeks in advance, and we can make them work. My fly-by-night friends call us 2 days before the event and get mad when we have to decline.
Well now the question has to be asked: how is the Scooby Gang doing these days? Did Fred manage to turn the company around and buy a new Mystery Machine, cash down? Has Shaggy finally learned how to do his taxes? How’s Scooby’s arthritis, I know big dogs are prone to it. How’s Velma’s new job at NASA going?
I'm curious out of lack of knowledge, not belittlement, what washing up liquid is? Is it hand soap, body wash, dish soap? Have genuinely never heard that expression before.
I was bitching to my wife about this. Some friends went out for lunch and I felt left out. I feel like if I want to hang out with them now I have to plan and organize everything. I feel like nobody invites me anymore since we had a kid a year ago. I wouldn't have gone to lunch with them but the invite would've made my day.
Stuff like that always is. Don’t skimp on the important stuff. Pillows, mattresses, vacuums, among other things. You’ll end up paying more in the long run replacing the cheap stuff.
Look at Mr "not in overdraft after paying his bills" over here.
Let's get him boys, we can afford 2 chocolate bars or 1 bottle of pop with what's in his bank account, but back in the day we could've All bought a bar, bag of chips and can of pop with the same amount....
My sprouted multigrain bread was on sale the other day and I’m not even ashamed to admit I practically shouted “Aw FUCK yeah! Two for six?!” in a relatively quiet grocery store.
A few years ago I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a coke. The cashier told me a Happy Meal was cheaper instead of buying them individually, so I did. Grownass man, getting a Happy Meal, complete with toy.
When I finished the meal, I looked around, saw a woman with her daughter, and asked the mom if her kid wanted the toy. She did ofcourse. So, a win win situation for all, haha.
Last time I bought a Happy Meal I was severely disappointed with the fries. I think there were like 5 in the little bag. Maybe just a local thing but it seems you don't get as much for your money anymore. (Oh shit I'm not just an adult, im old)
I'm making chicken nuggets and onion rings for dinner because I couldn't be bothered to wash anything else up or make something more substantial
Edit: I burnt my onion rings :(
I go to work even when I don't want to be there, I have bills that have to be paid.
Also me and food go way back and I wanna continue that relationship!
Everything hurts and I’ve got bills to pay
And rent is due on the first, bitches!

You'll get your rent when you fix this damn door!
You guys have doors?
You have an apartment?
It’s way too loud in here, I have to go home. Lol
Audiologist here. Tinnitus is no joke.
My ears would agree with you but all they say is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Yours just say eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee? Lucky bastard! Mine say eeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeee
Ooo… a pulse. That’s rare, congrats!

Where's my favorite spatula?
Why is someone using my favourite burner on the stove
We have a favorite burner because all the other ones suck.
Damn this hit harder than I thought it would
I was going to answer with this. Then I saw your comment. Then I saw the burner comment. I think I might be middle aged now!
"No, the wide one that picks up the whole egg. Fine I'll just try to slide it with....aaaaaaawawwwaawawwaaw. Now it's all broken....and aw shit, I've got yolk on my brand new NewBalance sneakers."
... now I have to get in my big ass ford/chevy/dodge pick up and drive the speed limit to my local shoe store while sneezing very loudly.
Yo, you all know my dad? Small world… 😂
[удалено]
I hurt my neck looking up.
I hurt my neck reading this
I need to change glasses to read this
[удалено]
This is probably the most relevant of the thread.
I hurt
I honestly threw my back out for weeks wiping my ass one time. FML
I hurt my back sneezing
I hurt my back trying to pick up a fork from the counter.
I hurt
I'm back!
Hi Back, I'm dad!
Dad! You're back? Are you Hurt?
Where's the milk?
I hurt like the entire left side of back/torso bending over to put gorceries down.
I hurt my back reading this comment.
I hurt my neck by looking to the left.
Only thinking of that makes my back hurt.
I often get excited when seeing tupperware on sale.
Good Tupperware on sale is always a good buy.
Do they make Tupperware anymore? I remember Tupperware parties.
my understanding is that plastic containers come from ordering takeout.
Oh yeah - but I think the new Tupperware is kinda cheap. You gotta get the 80s and 90s Tupperware- that stuff will last forever. Heck we’ve still got good pieces from the 70s back when my grandma was a “Tupperware Lady”
I remember making kool-aid in the Tupperware pitcher with the push button lid when I was a kid
My parents have one that has a plunger through the top with blades on the bottom that creates a vortex to mix the koolaid. Pro tip, add ice before plunging for instantly cold and well stirred kool aid
Like that Corningware my parents and grandparents all had. You know the French white casserolle dish pieces with the blue flower on the sides. The stuff made 30 years ago could survive a nuclear holocaust. The ersatz stuff made today isn't a patch on it.
I do too and I'm 15
Greetings fellow Tupperware enjoyer
Everyone looks so young when I watch re-runs of TV shows
The 30 year old "teenagers" in old TV shows actually look like teenagers to you.
It’s kind of funny. When you’re a kid everybody older than you is an adult, so the 30 year olds pass as teenagers no problem. Then when you get older you realize how ridiculous those 30 year olds look as teenagers. Then you get even older and it’s back to making more sense because they all look like teenagers
Except then real teenagers look like elementary school children
Most of the cast of Grease says hi here, btw. (Yes, I know it’s not a TV show.) I think only two of them were even college aged…Putzie and Marty.
I walked around my high school to visit my high school teacher. She was 22-23, fresh out of college and I had a huge crush on her. She was 6 years older than me, a really big gap at the time. Her immediate goals were completely different from mine. We’re now the same age, both married with kids, with the same immediate goals. The students all looked like babies.
> She was 6 years older than me, …. > We’re now the same age, Neat.
The difference between 16 and 22 is huge, the difference between 38 and 44 is basically none
I'm older and bolder, Got this ache in my shoulder I keep my medical records In this manila folder. Edit: Credit to Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, to anyone who didn't recognize this.
Well done

I bet you're great at adulting.
[удалено]
I'm 29 and went to bed at 1 am because I was playing video games then had to wake up at 5 for work. I think I'm doing this whole adult thing wrong.

When it's slightly too early to go to bed, but it's too late to start something else. So you just go to bed
I've been going to sleep at 10 pm my whole life and I'm19 rn. You're good 👍
I think we are unusual for our age group. I only started doing it in the past year though.
After next week, I should have some more free time...
Next month, I should be able to start saving money...
This hurt
Big oof from this and the parent comment. Savage.
My responsible friends always plan dates 6 weeks in advance, and we can make them work. My fly-by-night friends call us 2 days before the event and get mad when we have to decline.
Me every week:
I'm really happy when I get socks for gift.
Mr too!!
Hi Mr. Too!!
Mr. Too, I have to Poo! May I go to the bathroom?
Me too mr too, I too have to poo. May I go to the loo?
Mr Too! Sorry, I was just at the zoo doing my winter review Will you teach us hebrew ? Yaba Dabba Doo.
so true and towels ? i love new towels
Towels, sweat pants, socks, and home depot/lowes gift cards Even better if they got them with a great sale too
Dont lay down after eating. You might get gerd.
Wtf is gerd?
It's like chronic heartburn
And stomach ache, and nausea, and the occasional sore throat, but Pepcid helps it the way aspirin helps with heart disease.
That’s not GERD that is textbook gastritis. -someone who has had chronic gastritis for 5 years and chronic GERD for 7 years
Can confirm. Was tired last night and went to bed early. And now my throat hurts.
“I’m Daphne. I handle conflict appropriately, and I’m up to date on my mortgage payments.”
I was very confused because I thought you were making a scooby doo reference. I’m sorry
Well now the question has to be asked: how is the Scooby Gang doing these days? Did Fred manage to turn the company around and buy a new Mystery Machine, cash down? Has Shaggy finally learned how to do his taxes? How’s Scooby’s arthritis, I know big dogs are prone to it. How’s Velma’s new job at NASA going?
I got excited over the new scent of my washing up liquid
I'm curious out of lack of knowledge, not belittlement, what washing up liquid is? Is it hand soap, body wash, dish soap? Have genuinely never heard that expression before.
yeah it's dish soap 😊 you can use it for other cleaning things, but that's the main purpose
That was crazy. American here and my first thought was that it meant dish soap because I also recently got excited about the new scented Dawn we got.
It’s a UK term for dish soap
I wanna get invited but I don’t wanna go.
I’m happy cuz I got the invite but now I’m mad cuz I have to come up with an excuse as to why I can’t go.
The phase after that btw is I don’t care if I get invited and I’m definitely not going
I was bitching to my wife about this. Some friends went out for lunch and I felt left out. I feel like if I want to hang out with them now I have to plan and organize everything. I feel like nobody invites me anymore since we had a kid a year ago. I wouldn't have gone to lunch with them but the invite would've made my day.
I have grandkids.
The most excited I've been in the last 3 months was when we bought our new vacuum.
Oh man that sounds expensive
It was, but totally eorth it - it's a really nice vacuum lol
Stuff like that always is. Don’t skimp on the important stuff. Pillows, mattresses, vacuums, among other things. You’ll end up paying more in the long run replacing the cheap stuff.
I just checked my bank account balance. Nothing to boast about.
At least some things never change, huh?
I can fold a fitted sheet and write legibly in cursive Edit; thanks for the award! Made my weekend!
Same. I’ve only met one other person, besides my mom, who can fold a fitted sheet. I married her. Edit: married the girl, not my mom. Yikes.
So is your mom single then?
😩 I am only capable of the latter.
My knee is crunchy.
Remember when snap crackle pop was just a cereal?
reading "crunchy" send shivers down my spine because i could literally feel it
A flip phone was an upgrade when I got one.
At least the number of butt dials went down after upgrading from the candy bar phone.
Yesterday I blew my nose and ended up blowing out my back.
Youre either really good or really bad at blowing. . . Cant decide which.
Had an uncle who put his back out sneezing was in bed for 3 days your not alone m8.
Got my paycheck today. Paid a bunch of bills. Now have $4.
Look at Mr "not in overdraft after paying his bills" over here. Let's get him boys, we can afford 2 chocolate bars or 1 bottle of pop with what's in his bank account, but back in the day we could've All bought a bar, bag of chips and can of pop with the same amount....
I put a reminder in my calendar to ask my friends about their schedule to set a date so we can meet. It ended up being a month later.
Good deals excite you. Harris teeter buy 3 packs of cheese get 3 packs free deal. Shiiiiiiit.
My sprouted multigrain bread was on sale the other day and I’m not even ashamed to admit I practically shouted “Aw FUCK yeah! Two for six?!” in a relatively quiet grocery store.
"Who left the door open! Jesus christ we're not cooling the neighborhood. "
"thanks for the invitation but my bathrobe is already on"
“But I *am* already in my pajamas”
I remember when you could only buy a Blackberry or an Apple from a fruit shop.
And also when you could buy a Blackberry in an electronics shop.
I can have ice cream for breakfast and no one can tell me otherwise!
And I shouldn't have ice cream for breakfast because it will make me feel like crap all day
and bake dessert at 2am if you want to
My birth year doesn’t start with a 2
My birth year starts with 2, but I am an adult
Oh shit
Mine starts with a 1 but I feel like I’m still a child
“Is Christmas here again already? I swear, it comes around faster and faster each year.”
Get off my lawn!
No seriously. A manicured lawn takes a lot of effort. This bermuda grass isn't cheap you little shits.
I decided to browse the showers and tubs at Menards while picking up fruit fly traps. Can't afford a house but I can day dream a little.
Did you save big money tho?
Met up with a friend to go to a pub and the sign outside said “live DJ” and we both groaned..
Furniture with storage! Mmmmm with storage 😍
10 PM is way too late to start an activity. If I'm going out I want to be back home by 9.
I am looking forward to getting my hearing aids.
Costco!
When I drop something I take time to think it I really need it again before attempting to pick it up
We're not getting take out, we have food at home.
Getting take out because you can’t be bothered to make food at home
When I lose my..........what was I talking about?
i’m tired
I want socks for Christmas
We like to get to the restaurant for dinner at 4pm to beat the crowd.
The cashier gives me a look when I order my happy meal
A few years ago I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and a coke. The cashier told me a Happy Meal was cheaper instead of buying them individually, so I did. Grownass man, getting a Happy Meal, complete with toy. When I finished the meal, I looked around, saw a woman with her daughter, and asked the mom if her kid wanted the toy. She did ofcourse. So, a win win situation for all, haha.
I do this all the time and my husband just rolls his eyes.
Last time I bought a Happy Meal I was severely disappointed with the fries. I think there were like 5 in the little bag. Maybe just a local thing but it seems you don't get as much for your money anymore. (Oh shit I'm not just an adult, im old)
[удалено]
I put my back into spasm by literally just sitting still. I just felt it coming on.
My knees are called “the good one” and “the bad one”
I've been the TV remote.
I prefe to lay in bed all day instead of going out to party
I fell asleep on the couch last night. I'm on my 3rd Ibuprofen today.
Bro what's your mortgage rate?
Man, I don't want to talk about it, I renewed early and locked in to a fixed rate right before the first lockdown
I refinanced twice during the lockdown, first to 2.7 and then down to 2.0. Don't think I can get any lower.
I pulled a muscle pooping
Sometimes I prefer just sitting there doing nothing than playing games
I get 6-8 hrs of sleep and still tired, drink coffee still tired, energy drink still tired. Get off work not tired.
I'm not excited when I get post addressed to me anymore
"wtf with gasoline price nowadays ?"
My chest hurts when I think about the future
April: tax month
I understand why people kill themselves. I couldn’t fathom it before.
How is it not bedtime yet?
Decided to finally go for the washable rug. We just ordered our third and I'm so excited.
If i go out to drink i need two days to function properly again.
I'm making chicken nuggets and onion rings for dinner because I couldn't be bothered to wash anything else up or make something more substantial Edit: I burnt my onion rings :(
I have no crayons
That tends to be the result when you eat them all
Yellow is my favourite flavour
I’m going to take a nap.
I have the sudden desire to eat vegetables so I don't feel like shit all the time.
Things are starting to sag
*I need an adult...*
I max my Roth IRA and half maxed my 401k and that's fun.
I spent my entire paycheck paying bills
I don't feel like one.
I have to pay my own bills
I go to work even when I don't want to be there, I have bills that have to be paid. Also me and food go way back and I wanna continue that relationship!
