    Been to gym. Been to market.

    My fruit and veg people have sold up and retire next week. This is wonderful for them…but I’m kind of a little bit sad

    Remember my little 4x4 misadventure? The service department just mentioned some minor damage to the undercarriage. Had to pretend to be shocked.

    Figured I’d make a new comment for visibility - for anyone trying to comment/make a post from lemmy.world instance - it isn’t visible to anyone on Aussie.zone for 7 days (if it even syncs at all) There was a post explaining it months ago, seems like it still isn’t fixed.

    At my second inspection. Crusty old dude rocks up and talks only to me and asks if I’m viewing the apartment, then asks if I’m single and gives me this creepy grin and says he’d prefer a single to move into the apartment. Oh and of course he’s the owner. Shakes my hand and encourages me to apply. Completely ignores the other attendees (male).

    I might’ve seriously considered this apartment despite the very dated kitchen and bathroom and no fly screens, it’s pricey but in a very quiet green location and has a sunlit balcony… But after the above interaction I am definitely not applying wtf

        Sucks because I really might’ve seriously considered it for the quietness and the cleanliness. Light filled and still convenient for work. I was sat in the park wondering if I stuck on my own fly screens and everything else worked okay, could I still stick it out since there’s a REA intermediary… Esp as this is probably one of the few times I have an advantage (??) as a single renter. But it’s for entirely the wrong reasons

          Yeah. That’s not the sort of advantage you’d want for sure, it’s creepy and puts you in danger I’d say as well.

        Yeah he seems like the kind of guy who lives nearby and might get… too involved in a bad way. He told the REA to send him a report of all the applicants immediately for his review, within earshot of us all. I can’t think of any reason why a LL would prefer a single tenant over a couple except that a single person is easier to bully/manipulate. I think I’m going with my gut on this one

          Yep. More than that he might have keys and could randomly let himself in when you’re not home, place hidden cameras, invite himself over when you are there and push boundaries…

          He dived to try and create a situation where he could have a massive power differential with/access to a single woman. Which is not a safe situation.

          And being a single isolated person does make you easier to bully/manipulate.

          He seems like a massive creep and a danger

            Letting himself in when you are not home is probably a best case scenario. When I used to work at Legal Aid they had a case where they were doing an urgent Intervention Order for a woman who had woken up in the middle of the night to find the landlord and his son in the bedroom.

              Yeah. It seems fucked up and extreme that women have to consider these possibilities but yeah.

              Whether this guy “only” planned to become overfamiliar and harass a lone female tenant or he planned to push the boundaries in another way, this guy very obviously didn’t have good intentions.

              Kind of stressed out for any woman who can’t find somewhere else before her lease ends or if he learns to be less obviously creepy upfront

      I find it odd the LL is at the inspection if he has a REA managing the property? And the whole interaction, yikes. The LL will probably have keys. Stay the hell away!

        Yeah it smacked of over-involvement. No thanks! Luckily I’m not being made to vacate so I don’t have as much pressure, I’ll keep looking.

      There’s something about the eyes of Soxcats that always stand out.

      Don’t know if it’s the colour and the shape but Soxcat always looks so serious.

    I don’t know if I should continue doing this assignment that I am attempting to do. I keep going around in circles trying to find suitable papers. It is four days overdue and we have a 5% per day late penalty. I want to submit something but I have two other assignments due end of this week that I haven’t really started and want today to be the last day I work on this.

      It’s gonna be alright, maybe focus on the other two assignments, and let this one go. You are capable and savvy, and if your instinct says to work on the other two due at the end of the week, then maybe it’s worth listening to :) trust yourself. You can do this! I’m sending you all of my good vibes and energy to you over the ether! 💜

        Merci beaucoup <3

        I’m going to wake up nice and early tomorrow, go for a run, then submit something at the end of the day. Then work on the others.

    OK. So, say you want to have a night out by yourself on a Saturday night, where you can talk to randoms and generally be social.

    What bars or what suburb is best?

      Easy:

      The Old Bar, Fitzroy. Go out the back and feel free to join in on anyone’s conversations. It’s small, and is an alternative crowd.

      Oscar The Wild are playing there tonight (Sat) too.
