got a text from our cleaning person. she said she was raising her rates by $20. I was, like, wait we already pay that amount wtf. have we been paying too much? the old lady (wife) indicated that we tip her each time. so now I have to pay $20 more to assure she's still getting tipped each time.
:Ughhh:
"old lady" :ROFL:

Did not know cleaning services were part of a gratuity salary structure.they are, but i usually only tip around holidays (thanksgiving, christmas) but usually those tips are sizable and make up for my non-regular day to day tipping her
i actually reached out to my cleaning lady lady last week when i was level 5'd and gave her a $10/mo raise to account for covid related additional expenses she's incurring, she was appreciative
it's a good idea to keep your cleaning lady happy imo

Although tbh sounds like SD is getting taken for a ride cause the cleaning person knows he can afford it.

I would like a cleaning lady. Where to find one? A service? Craigslist? How to find one that won't gank half your stuff? Going rates?
Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
Ask people you know for a referral. Then, make sure you ask whether he/she has ganked half their stuff.

you know how when you get your haircut and they ask you if you need any product and you say no? my consort says yes 100% of the time and it's always something new and it then doesn't get used and it piles up in a gigantic hair product cabinet.

BAE also orders $1k+ worth of clothes or shoes or whatver from places and then tries it all on and sends back most of it. seems fine, right? WRONG, she actually doesn't send back most of it she leaves it in a pile somewhere and tells me she's sending it back and then a month later I have to figure out where it's from and send it back for her.I’ve discovered this is frequently for about 2 articles of clothing. Like, WTF, it isn’t a game worn, autographed Mahomes Jersey, how can it cost so much?

It's been many, many years since my wife's gone to her gym. I mentioned canceling the membership like two years ago. She was offended and certain she'd be wanting to use it again soon. I'm never bringing it up again.Damn, good one

Cancel it and don't tell her. Or, even better, report the credit card as lost, get a new credit card number, and never update the card on file with the gym. subscription cancelled.

Found out this year my wife has had a cafeteria account at work since Mid 2018. Hasn't been used. only $500 wasted nbd.

If a recipe calls for a teaspoon of something, she will buy a hogshead of it.
pro tip: there are mexican brands that put all sorts of spices in tiny plastic bags and they're grate for things like this. I didn't realize they had a bunch of regular old spices until I started doing grocery shopping online.

sorta related, but I invested in a pretty decent stereo setup with a bluetooth connection and everyone in my family insists on listening to music on their shitty laptops and I'm like, "look, I'll make it so you just automatically connect to bluetooth on the good speakers" and they're like "nah"
infuriating
