realistically your only hurting the person that lives there next. Even when it eventually becomes too big a problem to ignore that’ll prompt the landlord to hastily cover it up and sell it. And you are also hurting the city pipes as well which costs everyone money.
Start a fire. Got it.
The landlord will then have to have the drains cleared and hear exactly what they found blocking it. This will improve your relationship with your landlord and they will feel happy that you decided to take revengeful steps against them which don’t really serve any purpose and are just a waste of resources. No way are they going to somehow claim back those costs from you
Bro thinks he is getting his deposit back crying laughing emoji skull emoji
I’ve always got 100% back when I rented.
I wasn’t a piece of shit though and didn’t break things.

Maybe you just don’t rent in the kinds of places that have shitty landlords.

Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
They installed the carpet with the seam down the middle of the living room at my place, then said it was my fault the seam started peeling
Same place tried to charge me for 119 plastic window slats. When I asked my old neighbor (same unit type, 1 floor up) I counted 43 total
I sent them proof of all of this along with the bill for my security deposit and another bit of maintenance I had in writing they’d fix and never did, they suddenly decided to stop hounding me for the bill but never paid. Wasn’t enough to bother in small claims on my end, sadly
Here let me help you. Landlords vary wildly in quality and decline quickly as you go down in price furthermore being ignorant of your rights or lacking in options due to money are both easy routes to getting fucked. Not understanding that people pretty regularly get fucked out of their deposits because you haven’t is like wondering why other people get raped when you have avoided it.
Let me help you.
I’ve never once claimed I didn’t have shitty landlords. You seem to assume a lot of shit. It’s called “due diligence”. Take pictures when you move in. Submit the shit on the maintenance requests within a couple weeks of moving in. And don’t fuck the place up in the mean time. Take pictures when you leave. This isn’t a hard process and virtually everyone has a cellphone with a camera to do it with. Boom deposit kept.
Comparing literal due diligence for moving into a rental to rape is fucking outright stupid. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Always makes me wonder what other people do to their houses to fuck them up so bad.
You figured people must all be doing damage to lose their deposit. Lots of people don’t understand what their rights are or what to do to protect them because the poor are habituated to the reality that they don’t have much in the way of rights.
Some of this, I can kind of understand… However, you don’t have to be rich to understand that refundable deposits are meant to be refunded if you take care of the place.
Those 10 or so places that I mentioned while in the military… I was enlisted. I made between 20-30k… With some money for housing allowance. I wasn’t rolling in dough.
“This carpet that was stained when you moved in wasn’t stained before you moved in so I’m keeping your $300 deposit”
Fuck outta here.
You didn’t walk though and document before move-in?
“Our inspector (me) found deep damage (the carpet is already ten years old and I claimed the exact same thing for the last tenant)”
Be on your way, parasite.
Gee, I just can’t imagine why anyone would do that to you…
Interesting and definitely intelligent assumption based on the text, person who doesn’t know carpet is considered completely depreciated after five years and claiming it as damage is fraud.
Depends on the country. In Australia, the deposit is held by the government and the landlord needs to apply to get it, which includes showing receipts for any work they had to do. It goes back to the tenant by default. The system in the USA (where the landlord holds the deposit) doesn’t make a lot of sense as they aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant.
hey aren’t really incentivized to return it to the tenant
Yes lots of landlords here just steal it as a matter of course. The US is basically a garbage country with a great military.
In Aussie but I’ve been living in the USA for 11 years. There’s definitely some bad things in the US, but there’s also a bunch of good things.
If you are on the bottom of the food chain there are basically no good things compared to other developed nations. I would shred my citizenship docs for a better choice.
Right. I’m all for find a way to tip the balance of power away from the ownership class, but willful damage only screws you. Check your rental contract, a landlord can and will sue you for negligent and purposeful damage to their property. They’ll also sing your rental history . Plus, if you’re still living there, you’re only inconveniencing yourself with the repair process.
Good ending

Aren’t you also clogging the city pipes?
Removed by mod
Yeah this causes “fatbergs” which wreak havoc on city pipes. I get frustrated when I see memes like this condoning willful property damage bc not only is it stupid and it hurts other people besides the landlord, but even if the landlord has to shoulder costly repairs for plumbing inside their unit, they’re definitely going to pass those costs on to their tenants (either immediately or over time) so this could also contribute to rent hikes.
Not if the substance is a liquid at room temperature.
Pouring hot bacon grease down the drain will do that, because the bacon grease is only a liquid when it’s hot.
Something like olive oil isn’t going to clog pipes.
Just pour latex house paint down the drains, whats this baby tier “grease” bullshit.
Until your toilet stops up and floods dookie all over your stuff a week later
You know what will cover up that dookie damage? latex house paint. Solves all your problems.
Financial issues? Latex house paint. Drink it down and your problems disappear.
I see no issues whatsoever with this plan of action
Edit: any flaws in the plan can, of course, be addressed with latex house paint
Glaring flaws in your plan? Latex house paint. Covers 'em right up.
This whole thread speaks of the Landlord Special. Latex paint, what can’t it do!?
Unclog drains.
POV: You’re a salty dumb fuck who feels like wasting vegetable oil
POV: you’re reading the comment of somebody that doesn’t cook for themselves
Clearly you’re the one who doesn’t cook if you don’t know what to do with used oil
Why waste the oil? Turn it into gravy, or mayonnaise, or store it to sell to a recycling center that will turn it into biofuel.
Putting used oil into food when it’s not even good enough for frying anymore doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
Recycling is fair enough.It really depends on what it was used for. I almost always turn bacon grease into gravy or mayo, for oil/butter from cooking meat dishes I make pan sauces, but for frying oil I recycle.
Or strain it and if you have a diesel use it

That’s worse you know
You should read about fatbergs before doing this though.
Yeah, I get that people feel like they have so little control over their lives that they feel the need to generally be passive aggressive assholes to people they deem unworthy, but this is just an overall dick move. Having working public/municipal plumbing is a good thing.
Yeah. If it only impacted your landlord that would be one thing, but you’re potentially ruining the entire municipal plumbing system.
I mean, what else am I supposed to do with it?
… No really, I’m asking.
If it’s not that much: soak it in a paper towel and throw that away. For frying: put it back in the bottle and throw that away if the oil is spend.
Pour it into a bottle and throw it in the trash
Put it in a jar or can and put it on the compost or garbage
Chug it or put in old bottle or jar and throw in the trash.
Rather than throwing it away, you may have free options for recycling nearby, too. My county has a pretty robust program for residents available with regular recycling and hazardous waste like oil or paint in certain locations. There’s sometimes restrictions and sorting required from customers, but it’s usually pretty straight forward if you look it up
Removed by mod
Ah, maybe try searching household hazardous waste recycling specifically. It’s possible the auto stores might accept all used oil products too, though. At least when I worked in the hazardous waste field for my county program, I mixed all the oil products, and they used it to heat the shops over the winter. We had a separate company that picked up stuff we couldn’t process, and my job was mostly sorting and combining what I could first. Afaik a lot of auto companies are doing the same hazardous waste bulk pick up.
Civilized countries have collection stations for oil often at the same place you go for recycling.
Tell the US government about it. Then they will bring you democracy and liberate you from the oppressive oil. /j
If its oil, you might be able to donate it to a home diesel user
If it’s something like bacon / beef grease just let it congeal in the pan then scrape it out into the garbage can.
If you don’t know someone that burns old oil put it in an old container and throw it away in the trash.
Life should have these splash screens whenever you fall asleep.

It will also make life just a smidge harder for every tenant after you. But if it helps you feel better, fuck 'em.
