getting out of bed with change stuck to your butt or back is a classic.

i took a shower at a friend's house once and there were all these rusty/green pennies in the bathtub-- i asked him what that was all about and he said they stick to him when he falls asleep on his sofa and he doesn't realize it till they fall off in the shower and then he just leaves them there.
dude is a dirt bag hero.

extra gross bc pennies indicate infrequency of cleaning shower

i have no idea why unfurnished rental places would be the norm, that would be insane. i am assuming there is a decent sector of this stuff in places with migrant worker or student populations?
aaaaanyway since this thread was last revived a mouse has moved into the coil behind our fridge.

unfurnished rentals are the norm in most cities in the US, but not in Honolulu

xp: in america, poor students largely just buy shitty furniture or scavenge it from alleys.

what happens to all that furniture when the tenant moves out? damn
― flagp∞st (dayo), Friday, 16 March 2012 22:44 (twelve years ago) link
All of which furniture?
I had no idea that furnished apartments were available besides at residence hotel type places, much less a common thing somewhere! The few times I see an ad for a furnished apartment I feel very suspicious, like is the furniture haunted? Embedded with spy cams?

You're not allowed to leave furniture behind. W/ my current property mgmt. company, if you do, you are charged a $200 clean-up fee (this company does do security deposits; companies that do would retain part of your deposit). In the past when I rented from individual slumlandlords who owned only a building or two, you could ask them if it was OK to leave furniture behind and they would probably say OK unless it was gross.

Here's my guess on mh situation. Day 1, early: You started off strong. Hit the store, loaded up on healthy shit. Man I'm gonna eat so good this week. Gonna save $$ on lunch and not eatin' out too. Day 1, late night: Pizza. Save two slices. That can be lunch tomorrow.

nah it was more like "this is two weeks of random fresh food shopping" coupled with a bunch of stuff that's not going to spoil fast like yogurt and fruit cups and ingredients I'm going to make kimchi with this week
then there's the random detritus on the top shelf like some scallions where I used the green end and a container of blood orange juice that I extracted because the oranges were going bad

yeah I do not know what that dried puddle is but I am pretty sure it's vegetation-related, like perhaps the drippings from a bag of decayed cilantro

when i moved out of my last apartment i finally cleaned up a slick of spilled "wild cherry" schnapps that had been fossilizing under my (fully transparent) crisper drawer for nearly a year. it had hardened to a bright red enamel that resisted soap and hot water. had to chip it out with a spatula.

I found a slick of dried orange chicken sauce on my counter under some dishes. I sprayed some counter spray on it to clean it up, but I think I forgot about it and now I'll have a dried layer of countertop cleaner on top of it
