    Where the hell did the idea of tipping your landlord come from, anyway? I’ve heard a few people in recent years bring it up as if it was an actual thing, and I’m just like WTF?

      I believe it has roots in r/landlordlove. A satire Very Serious™ subreddit.

      Pretty sure it’s not an actual thing anywhere, just a subtle pervasive joke.

        There have been some smaller landlords who have actually asked for it. If it has been successful for them or not I cannot say. I would assume not, it’s fucking asinine.

          They’re asking for it? WTF.

          But hey, I think the value of a tip is the appreciation it shows when it is not expected.

            It’s been more like coercion as far as I could tell, but yes.

          Asinine… Asiten… Either way, landlords rank high on the ass scale.

        No I had an old landlord strongly imply he should be tipped.

        They basically said “you know it’s traditional to tip your maintaince man at Christmas, and I do a lot more than that”

        I obviously did not tip.

          Your maintenance man is NOT your landlord, and honestly probably deserves a tip. I tip my garbage men on christmas.

          Fuck your landlord for implying he does more and deserves a tip though.

    NGL I thought this image was supposed to be the landlord pulling bags of money that the tenants paid by what each says.

    No that doesn’t make much sense, but I seriously have a hard time conceiving of any scenario where a landlord is supposed to be shown in a sympathetic light.

    Fuck landlords.
