When do you stop aggressively saving for retirement and start enjoying life now?
I’m 40 and have been thinking a lot about retirement, saving, and whether I’m overdoing it at the expense of enjoying my life now. For context, I’m a teacher and have worked in the same school district for 18 years. I currently make about $165k a year. If I stay until 55, my pension should be about 60% of my final average salary, which would likely be over $100k a yearin retirement. Financially, I think I’m doing well, but I still feel constant pressure to save more. I have close to $1 million invested across Schwab accounts, including taxable brokerage and IRA accounts. I also have a 403(b) through work with about $26k in it, and I’m contributing about $1,027 every two weeks. I also own a small co-op apartment in Manhattan that I rent out, and the rent is higher than the monthly maintenance, so it produces some cash flow. I should clarify that I do not currently own a primary home. I live in Manhattan. The apartment I own is also in Manhattan, but I don’t see it as a realistic retirement home. It’s a walk-up with no elevator, no washer/dryer, and I don’t think it would be practical long-term as I get older. I’m also not sure buying a home right now is a good idea, especially with housing prices, interest rates, and so much changing. So even though I look financially secure on paper, I still feel uncertain because I don’t know what my long-term housing situation will be. I’m not trying to retire tomorrow, and I’m not trying to be reckless. I just keep asking myself: at what point is enough actually enough? What I’m really wondering is whether I should stop or reduce my 403(b) contributions. Right now I’m putting in about $1,027 every two weeks, which is roughly $2,000+ a month. Do I really need to keep putting that much into retirement, given my projected pension, existing investments, and rental property? Or would it be reasonable to use that extra money to enjoy my life now? I like traveling, going out, taking care of myself, and having experiences while I’m still young enough to enjoy them. I don’t want to wake up at 55 or 60 with a great pension and strong investment accounts but feel like I missed out on my 40s because I was always saving for “later.” At the same time, I do value security. I know health care costs can be unpredictable, housing is a big unknown, and I don’t want to put myself in a bad position later. But with a projected pension of over $100k, nearly $1 million invested already, ongoing income, and a rental property, I’m starting to wonder whether I’m already on track enough to loosen up. For people who are strong savers or financially disciplined: How did you decide when you were “on track enough” to stop aggressively saving and start enjoying more of your money now? Did you reduce retirement contributions at some point? Do you regret saving too much, or do you regret not spending more while you were younger? I feel caught between wanting future security and wanting to actually enjoy the life I’m working so hard for. I’d really appreciate any perspective. submitted by /u/Guilty_Amount_9662 to r/Retirement401k [link] [comments]

Crossover Spectral Card Concept
Reverts a Card or Joker of your choice back to 'default' form, with a chance to potentially 'splash' adjacent Cards/Jokers and clean them of any modifiers as well. (Because Spectral cards always come with a risk/drawback, after all.) Useful for i.e. getting of Rental or Temporary seals on Jokers you want to keep, Eternals from Jokers you've changed your mind about and want to ditch, wiping Editions that aren't as helpful to your current run as another one could be, etc. etc. If it removed a Negative from a Joker and thus put you at more Jokers than you have room for, I'm not sure exactly what would make more sense - for the 'excess' Joker to be Debuffed until you sell back down to your limit, or for it to just keep working and taking up a non-existent space as a treat. I'm not a game designer, just a bored dude with a tablet and some odd ideas lol submitted by /u/Rogahar to r/balatro [link] [comments]

Rental Property Maintenance Tips for Rental Washers and Dryers
Searching for rental property maintenance tips fpr property managers and landlords? You’ve come to the right place! Appliances are often the “silent budget killers.” Among these, washers and dryers are notorious for high-frequency use and, unfortunately, high-frequency abuse. When a tenant’s laundry routine comes to a screeching halt, it isn’t just a maintenance headache; it’s a significant blow to tenant satisfaction. Maintaining these workhorses doesn’t require a degree in mechanical engineering. By implementing a few proactive strategies, you can extend the lifespan of your units, reduce emergency repair calls, and keep your overhead predictable. Here is how to keep your rental’s laundry suite running smoothly. Rental Property Maintenance Tips The single most common cause of premature appliance death is overloading. Tenants often try to save time by stuffing a week’s worth of heavy denim and bedding into a single load. This puts immense strain on the washer’s motor, shocks, and drive belt. In dryers, an overstuffed drum prevents hot air from circulating, forcing the heating element to work twice as long to achieve the same result. The Fix: Include a “Quick Start Guide” laminated and posted near the machines. Visually demonstrate that a drum should never be more than three-quarters full. Remind tenants that “Heavy Duty” refers to the soil level, not the weight of the laundry. High-Efficiency (HE) Soap Education If your rentals feature modern HE washers, using traditional “high-suds” detergent is a recipe for disaster. Excess suds can leak into the electronics, cause “Oversuds” error codes that lock the machine, and lead to a buildup of biofilm. This biofilm eventually turns into a persistent, musty odor that is nearly impossible to remove. The Fix is also one of our most important rental property maintenance tips, you should provide a small “welcome kit” for new tenants that includes a box of HE pods or a bottle of HE liquid. Explicitly state in the lease or move-in packet that only HE detergents are permitted to protect the machine’s internal sensors. The Lint Trap and Beyond Every tenant knows they should clean the lint screen, but few realize that fine particles still bypass the screen and settle in the internal ducting. Over time, this buildup restricts airflow, causing the dryer to overheat and, in the worst-case scenario, posing a significant fire risk. The Fix: * Tenant Task: Require lint screen cleaning after every load. Manager Task: Schedule a professional dryer vent cleaning once a year. This is a tax-deductible maintenance expense that significantly lowers your liability and ensures the machine runs efficiently. Leveling and Vibration Control A washer that “walks” across the floor during a spin cycle isn’t just loud; it’s destroying itself. When a machine isn’t level, the internal tub hits the side housing, wearing out the suspension springs and bearings. The Fix: During your quarterly or bi-annual inspections, give the machines a “shake test.” If they rock, use a wrench to adjust the leveling legs. For units on upper floors, consider installing rubber anti-vibration pads under the feet to dampen the impact on the floor and the machine. Inspecting the Life-Lines: Hoses and Cords Rubber washing machine hoses have a limited lifespan—about 5 years. A burst hose can cause thousands of dollars in water damage in minutes. Similarly, frayed dryer cords or loose vent clamps can lead to electrical shorts or carbon monoxide issues (in gas units). The Fix: Replace standard rubber hoses with braided stainless steel hoses. They are significantly more resistant to pressure spikes and leaks. Check the connections during every turnover to ensure nothing has wiggled loose.

Looking for the best pressure washer after renting one made me realize I need to own this
I rented a pressure washer from Home Depot last month to clean my driveway and deck and it was honestly life changing how much easier it made everything. The rental was 90 bucks for the day and now I'm looking at projects around the house that need pressure washing and realizing I'd be better off just buying one. I'm looking at electric models in the 200-400 range since I don't want to deal with gas maintenance. The thing is rental units are commercial grade beasts and the consumer electric ones seem way less powerful. I'm worried I'll buy something and be disappointed it can't handle tough stains or takes forever compared to what I rented. submitted by /u/Latreece-Thirukonda to r/Appliances [link] [comments]

Update#3 AITAH for wanting nothing to do with my kids and exwife after 2 years of false allegations?
So I didn't think I would be back with any sort of update until December, but here I am. First, I want to thank everyone for their comments, the ones who tell me I'm NTA for feeling this way, the ones who said this was fake AI bull (which got me laughing a bit), and for all the advice everyone's given me. Second, for the ones who DM'd me, I also want to say thank you for reaching out. I may not have answered, but I really appreciated reading the messages. After my last update, I tried looking for something to do on my days off of work. My first thought was the animal shelter nearby because it's not even a five minute drive from my house. Turns out it's closed on my days off. I looked around for neighboring counties and those were even less helpful. A lot of them required I attend some sort of orientation, but there's no set day of the week for the orientations. I know it would be good for my mental health in the long run, but in the short term taking a day off from work, potentially, to attend the orientation and making my paycheck smaller isn't helpful. So I decided to try dating. I wasn't going into this looking for anything serious, I was wanting to try some casual dates to just get out of the house and meet people. That's not what happened. I made a profile on a dating app and kinda just left it alone. One of the pictures I had put on there was of my cat. He's an orange cat presenting as a tuxedo cat. No brain cell whatsoever. I got a message and this woman was talking about how cute my cat was and how he matched one of hers. We talked about our cats for a while, then things got flirty and I asked her out on a date. I feel like it went well, since she stuck around anyway. We found out that there are so many similarities between what we like and our senses of humor that my friends think I found a female version of myself, which I think is funny because when she meets them that means they're screwed. After almost a month of us talking and going on the occasional date, I told her I had some things to tell her and then something to ask her. I was up front with everything that happened last year and this year, showing her the paperwork that I had to show that I was innocent in all of this. After telling her all of this, I asked if she still wanted to stick around or if she wanted to walk away and not get dragged into any drama that she could get put through just because of us having a relationship. She hugged me, cried for me (which got me to start crying), and told me that she was sorry I had to go through something like that. Once the two of us stopped trying to flood my house from crying (more myself than her), I asked her if she wanted to make things official between us and she said yes. I was honestly so scared to tell her about what happened with my kids and ex. I was dead certain that once I told any prospective girlfriend this, they would walk away so that their own lives wouldn't get ruined. But she stayed, and I'm so incredibly grateful for that. We agreed to take it slow so that we don't rush into anything too quickly. I can't remember which of my posts it was on, and to be honest there's too many comments on them all to be able to find them, but a redditor said that, essentially, they hope I find someone and can actually be happy after all of this drama with my exwife and kids. I want to thank them for saying that, because between them speaking it into existence and my cat being... well, him, it seems to have worked. I'm not back up to 100% though. I'm still scared that something else will happen that will somehow mess my life up even more. I'm scared of the cops showing up at my house with new allegations even though I haven't done anything. I'm scared of running into my ex or the kids in public just by going grocery shopping and somehow getting arrested over it. Every time I drive home and a sheriff, state police, or city police vehicle comes down towards me or drives by the house I can feel my anxiety spike. I have cameras up that record my front door, back door, and where I park my car outside my house and cameras inside that cover my front door and my back door. I have other means of showing my location on my phone and where I've travelled, if I've travelled at all that day. I keep any receipts from shopping or even grabbing something to eat while in town just so I have timestamps of where I've been and when I was there. It's a mess, but I'm doing what I can. I'm looking forward to learning more about my girlfriend that my dingus of a cat helped me meet. I'm looking forward to being able to not live in fear of police. I'm looking forward to being able to LIVE and not just not die right now. Again, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts, advice, comments, everything. I'm still gathering paperwork and what evidence I can about all of this, and sadly I still don't have answers about why this has been happening. I don't know how my son got this supposed concussion. I don't know if my ex is coaching them. I don't know if someone is in their lives because of my ex that is causing all of this. I don't know if I'll get those answers, but right now I'm going to keep searching and fighting for myself until I either can't find anything else or I get answers. Edit: I saw a bunch of questions on this post and some on a BORU post of this whole excrement show and i want to try and explain some things better than I did before. I'll start with last year and do it in a month by month thing just to help myself make it make sense. August, 2024: Kids ran away, I got arrested and charged with child abandonment after they claimed I kicked them out. I have to move in with my mom and my stepdad. I spend that month panicking about my sleep walking habits, getting into therapy, talking to my physician about my medicines and if they influenced anything (I'm on meds for heartburn, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure and ADHD), worried about losing my job that I've only had for a year and ending up in prison, where I know with charges against children on me I would be very likely to get killed. My birthday is this month and I made no plans to celebrate it and told my family as much. September, 2024: I deal with my ex telling me she wants a divorce days before what was supposed to be our 13th wedding anniversary. On the day of our anniversary, I stop at the grocery store after work because I need deodorant when I get a message from my ex telling me "Thank you for everything you've done for me and the kids. I really appreciate all of the work you've put into us and for us. I know this probably isn't what you want to hear right now, but happy anniversary." This felt like a punch to the gut along with my heart being ripped out. A few days later on my day off of work, I get a call from the CPS worker in charge of the case and go in to her office to talk with her when she tells me about my daughter saying I was raping her and when they tried to ask for more details, she kept crying and couldn't answer before admitting she made it up. After that is when they talked to my son and he broke and said that the whole thing was made up. The judge dismisses everything and apologizes to me for having to go through this. October through December, 2024: I slowly start trying to build trust and a relationship with the kids again. I have a dash cam that records outside and inside the car for while I'm in the car with them. I'm not around the kids unless there's another adult with me. I spend the holidays with them and feel like things are working out all the better, slowly building trust with the kids and repairing the relationship. My daughter was being assessed for mental health issues after everything happened and the truth was revealed. I was still living with my parents so I did not get all of the details and reports straight from the doctors, which I realize now that I should have. January, 2025: I'm on my way to work after a small ice storm hit the area I lived in, which causes me to spin out and bounce of the rocky part of a large hill and injuring my left shoulder and totaling the car. My ex talks me into moving back into the apartment with her because I couldn't exactly take care of myself with only one arm in a sling and my stepdad and mom both still work so I couldn't rely on them either. I had plenty of PTO that my work let me use until the doctors said I could return and be on light duty until I was fully cleared. February, 2025: I'm back at work and on light duty doing desk work. We have our daughter's birthday party. My ex and I ended up having a long talk and agreed to try and work things out. My therapist provided us with a list of couples therapists in the area, both male and female and with a few of them being Christian based counseling so that we had our bases covered. I gave the list to my ex and told her to pick who she felt comfortable with and we could go from there. By this point the kids are also in therapy individually. This month is when I manage to get a new vehicle instead of renting one from Enterprise, along with getting my ex a car with our taxes. March, 2025: In my area we had some very bad rainstorms coming through which caused the dams and reservoirs to have damage from the water pressure building up and the state had to open them partially in order to not fail completely. This resulted in us having to evacuate because the area our apartment was in was next to a river and it was flooding. My ex's church friends, which she had been spending the nights at with the kids multiple times a week and ended up being a friend of mine from high school and his wife, offered there home so that we had a place to live until we could find a new place. During this time, he and my ex kept bugging me about just moving in permanently and putting our furniture and other items in a storage unit, that way the bills would be split and the cost would be cheaper for both of us. It went on for most of the month before I agreed just to get them to leave me alone. April, 2025: Things are hectic at my now ex friend's house considering there's two families living in the house with 4 adults, 5 children, two cats, and a dog. My ex and I get into a fight about our living situation, me being the only one trying to pack things up at the apartment, along with the lack of housework being done that I end up doing on my days off and it ends with me leaving the house and going back to the apartment. By this point the bed frame and mattress had been moved into the house and I had to get an air mattress to sleep on. This month is when she tells me that she wants a divorce again. May, 2025: We have our son's birthday party. I'm still living at the apartment and packing up and trying to find a new place to live. I'm having an insane amount of difficulty even getting answers to rental applications and I'm making plans on living in my car. Asking my boss if I can shower at work, preparing to ask the warden if I can sleep in the car at night in the parking lot, trying to find a place for my cat to live. My depression gets worse to the point I make a plan to kill myself from a drug overdose if I felt like that was my only option left. I end up telling my doctor about my plan and I end up getting control of my medicines taken away from me and given to my mother and she keeps a closer eye on me and checking on me every day. June, 2025: I end up finding a house to rent and live in. I pay the security deposit so that the landlord will hold onto the house for me until I can pay the first and last month rent and get utilities in my name by the end of the month. I explain to my ex that I can't make her car payment that month due to that but I will get it caught up as soon as I can because I was planning on working overtime 6 days a week since I had nothing when it comes to furniture, cookware, cutlery, anything except clothes and toiletries and an air mattress. I get served with the EPO after work 3 days after signing the paperwork and telling my ex this. July, 2025: I move into my house, start going to the hearings at the court house, and start trying to do what I can to keep myself busy. I can't go within 500 feet of my ex or the kids, I can't speak to them and they can't do the same to me. With the help of my grandparents I start getting furniture for the house. A dresser, a washer and dryer, an entertainment center for when I manage to get a tv. I have no fridge or stove, the house didn't come with any of that so I manage to get a fridge from a rent to own place, a toaster oven/air fryer and a hot plate to cook on. August, 2025: I make no plans to celebrate my birthday. I start looking for things to do on my days off of work that aren't chores or doctor visits. Animal shelter is closed to the public and that's when they have inmates from the local jail come in and work. Music lessons are too expensive and I'm tone deaf and can't read music sheets. I have no video game console or computer. All my friends are online and live out of state. Local events on Facebook are all during my work week. I decide to make a dating profile just because I was bored and it gave me something to do. This is when I meet who is now my girlfriend. We go on a couple of dates and hanging out once or twice a week, talking and texting every day and learning more about each other. The candy corn thing was just because my friends give me crap for liking it and I thought it was funny. I'll make a comment about all of the similarities later. So that's what my life has been like for the last two calendar years and one physical year. I figure this answers most if not all of ya'll's questions. I'm still not sure of my ex coaching the kids. I don't see my ex friend having an affair with my ex while living in the same house as his wife. I can't contact the kids to do anything. I'm trying to gather paperwork and evidence. I just want to be happy for once because this past year has been anything but. submitted by /u/Returningdarkness to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Pressure washer help
Resolved --- Thanks San Mo! Hey y'all, I feel like this might be a stretch but is there anyone in town that I could rent a pressure washer from? Literally open to whatever rate you'd like to offer, and it would only be from 6pm today to 9pm tops, but the only rental options seem to be located in San Antonio and I can't get to and from in time around work. I'm trying to strip paint of my kitchen table set and had a surprisinv amount of luck so far hosing it down after stripping and scrapping so I think a pressure washer could help get all the smaller nooks. Totally get it if this isn't the best option to try but I'm more than happy to pick up and deliver it back, or if 9 is too late then whenever you decide it'll be back. Happy to leave something behind to ensure I not just driving off lol. I've only got this afternoon available and was hoping to get as much done as possible tonight. submitted by /u/Canadian-Hammer to r/sanmarcos [link] [comments]

Home use pressure washer
Hi, I'm looking to add a gas powered pressure washer to our home. To wash our patios, siding, driveway on this property (2 story) and our rental property(1 story). As well as the cars. And old paint splatter from the driveway. So there will be no commercial use or side hustle. Right now we have a dismal tiny 100$ Amazon special at 1gpm and a DeWalt battery operated at 1.3gmp (which lasts about 15 minutes) Neither of them are powerful enough for our needs. So we are looking at the hf predator models. Either 2.8gpm of 4gpm models. I feel the 4gpm is overkill and requires quite a bit of maintenance. But my biggest concerns is it's weight. Moving it when needed to rental, getting it in and out of the truck at 120lbs or so. Obviously it will have more power, but we would be using it maybe 50x a year between cars, properties,etc. Would the 2.8gpm for our use case be enough? Is the only benefit of the 4gpm model time safed? Thanks submitted by /u/berlinguyinca to r/pressurewashing [link] [comments]

Pressure Washer Rental Business – Need Tips Pelase!
Hello! I’m thinking of starting a small pressure washer rental business here in the Philippines. Washers cost under ₱10k, and I plan to rent them out for around ₱200–₱250 per day, since local car washes charge about ₱200 per wash. Still deciding if I should ask for a security deposit or just hold a valid ID. Planning to do everything manually at first—maybe via Facebook and text. Anyone here tried something similar? Is the pricing okay? Any tips on what to watch out for? Do I need to register the business right away? Appreciate any advice! submitted by /u/Sea-Succotash-6317 to r/CarsPH [link] [comments]

Pressure washer rental idea
Hey guys, I had an idea and I wanted to run it by the hivemind of reddit before taking any action on it. I can go to Lowes and buy a pressure washer for $200, and I saw a few listings on marketplace that are asking $75 to rent the same kind of pressure washer for a day. I was curious if anyone's done this before and if so what should I consider when doing this. I obviously realize that there's a chance that someone could try and steal it, but I figure if it gets rented 3 times then it's already paid for itself. Has anyone done this successfully before? I want to do this as a side hustle and I'm not doing it full time. Maybe you guys have thought on how to do that? Another idea I had was to go to a house and do the pressure washing myself, but just limit myself to something easy like driveways for now. submitted by /u/l1nux44 to r/pressurewashing [link] [comments]

Pressure washer rental idea
Hey guys, I had an idea and I wanted to run it by the hivemind of reddit before taking any action on it. I can go to Lowes and buy a pressure washer for $200, and I saw a few listings on marketplace that are asking $75 to rent the same kind of pressure washer for a day. I was curious if anyone's done this before and if so what should I consider when doing this. I obviously realize that there's a chance that someone could try and steal it, but I figure if it gets rented 3 times then it's already paid for itself. Has anyone done this successfully before? submitted by /u/l1nux44 to r/FacebookMarketplace [link] [comments]

ULPT: If you need something for only a one day use like a carpet cleaner or pressure washer find a store with a return policy, use it, then bring it back.
I have done this every single time I've moved out of a rental or needed something for just one use. I've returned vacuums, carpet cleaners, pressure washers, a ladder and even a dog kennel once. You can do it with whatever item you only need for a day. Stop buying stuff you don't need and shaft a company with it instead. If the companies policy is you can only return if damaged then carefully remove the casing and damage the wires or circuit boards yourself. Do not do this with a store that only has an exchange policy! Edit: The point is to NOT have to spend money on a rental. I have never paid a cent for any of these items, and always returned them for my full money back. submitted by /u/ThatDucksLookinThicc to r/UnethicalLifeProTips [link] [comments]

Could this work for a beginner pressure washer? I don’t want to invest a ton of money because I just wanna try it out and see if I even like it I’m down to invest 700 to 900 on a whole setup

How my FREE good deed ruined 2 25+ year friendships... really long, the TLDR won’t help you.
Background- my husband and I had to move in with his grandparents (GP) during COVID when I lost both my jobs and my husband’s work contract ended. It worked out well. They’re in their 70’s, we are late 20’s and we jumped in with helping them around the house, picking up groceries since they’re high risk, yard work and long overdue deep cleaning. They let us bring our dog and both cats. Wonderful, amazing people! While we were looking for jobs we still helped with bills and now that we both work again and are looking at buying a house things are still wonderful amongst us all. Now, during lockdown we ran errands for them AND a lot of their friends, mostly neighbors (also seniors and high risk). Never took payment for gas, or any extras, we only accepted money for groceries because we couldn’t afford 10 families’ groceries on our savings. One of these families lived about 15 minutes away and were GPs old neighbors of 20+ years, they remained friends throughout the last 7 years or so of not being next door and often talked on the phone or saw each other. Well call them Caren and Bob. (CB) they seemed pretty normal, always grateful when we’d drop off groceries, even understanding when the stores were out of certain things or specific brands. Bob doesn’t really do/say much. This problem actually started a month ago. When GP decided they wanted the driveway and sidewalks pressure washed. Papa showed me how to use it and I fell in love with it. It’s nothing fancy, just a basic model pressure washer but it was so satisfying. It took me 2 days to finish the driveway, and I offered to do a lot of the neighbors too that’d I’d met/made friends with when I dropped off groceries. I was only working 1 job, had a lot of free time and it made me feel needed. Most of the time they’d bring me out a snack and drink and we’d chat when I took a break from the Florida heat. It was great! Enter CB. Caren and Bob were scheduled to come over for dinner, I was finishing up a house a few doors down the street when I saw their car coming and waved, finished up the job and rolled the washer back home. I showered and we all had dinner, when Caren asked why I had been working down the street. I basically told them I just liked doing it. I thought nothing of it when she remarked that their driveway could use a good washing. I agreed to do it on my days off over the course of a week or two but I sleep in so I’d get a late morning start. She said that was fine... Next day 8am- I’m at work when C calls, “where are you?” Me: I’m at work, is everything okay? C: I thought you were going to wash our driveway? Me: I am, I’m off in 2 days and I’ll get started on it then C: oh, okay, I guess that’s fine. I Hang up mildly confused. 2 days later 8 am another call C: where are you? Me: in bed, I worked til 2 am last night, my alarm is set for 10, I’ll be there by 11 C: you said you’d wash the driveway today Me: and I will, I’ll be there about 11 C: oh, well I was hoping you’d get started early I can do 10, but I’m going back to sleep now. C: fine. So I go get up earlier, eat, and haul the washer up a ramp into the truck and head off to CB house. Now CB have a HUGE driveway, one of those upside down ‘U’ half loop ones, that’s double wide for two cars and it’s looooong. I’m there for about 3 hours, it’s about 97 degrees outside and climbing, 100% humidity, and I go through my water bottle, so I turn off the washer and knock on the door and ask to fill my water bottle. C: you didn’t bring water? Me, laughing because it’s Florida and I think she’s joking: no, I did it’s just really hot out and I’m out, can I fill it up with some ice water? C, visibly irritated: I guess. Weird... But I go back out and work another couple hours, I’m probably about a 3rd of the way done when I call it a day. I’m hot, I’m tired, my left hand hurts from clenching the trigger, she’s being weird about water, I’m hungry. So I go unhook the hose and start loading the washer up when she comes out C: where are you going? Me: home? I’ll be back in a couple days when I have my next day off. C: no, you need to finish. Me: I’m sorry, what? C: you.need.to.finish.my.driveway! Me: I will, I just can’t finish it today, it’ll take me another 10 hours or so to finish. C makes a fuss, but I’m adamant that I’m leaving, I need to eat, rehydrate and the washer is almost out of gas anyway. Keep in mind, I’m not a professional, I’m not a company, i don’t have employees or a partner in business. I don’t even have an industrial strength machine, I’m just some bored girl with a small washer that thinks it’s fun and doesn’t mind helping people. I should’ve stayed gone. I got a voicemail the next day at work saying how CB are both unhappy that they’re driveway looks half finished blah blah blah. Then, the next day C calls and texts me multiple times, which I ignore other than to say I’m at work, can’t talk, I’ll be there tomorrow. My phone starts ringing the next day at 730 with “are you coming at 8?”, “please be here by 8am” “don’t forget water!” I call back: hey C, there is a thunderstorm right now that’s supposed to last most of the day. If it clears up I’ll come over for a while but I’m not doing it in thunder and lightning. C: you promised you’d come today! The driveway looks awful! Me: I’m sorry, but it’s not safe to be out there with a pressure washer in a Thunderstorm. C: I expect you to be here tomorrow then. At EIGHT. Me: I work tomorrow, I can come the day after. C has the bright idea that I call of work because she “hired me to do her driveway and I haven’t finished it yet” I say no, I’ll be there in two days. Cue 2 more days of passive aggressive voicemails and messages. But I show up, with a cooler of ice water and food. Work another 5 or so hours with her peering through her windows at me anytime I turn the washer off (it’s loud as hell). No friendly chit chat, no drink/snacks offered, not that I expected it, but still. The only talking we did was when I took a break to eat lunch, she opened her door long enough to ask what I was doing, and if I could “not sit on her porch steps” it was the only shaded place to sit so I sat on my tailgate in the sun and scarfed down my lunch. I packed up that day with about 4 more hours of washing to do, again, huge freaking driveway vs tiny little washer. I get home exhausted and GP ask if I have a second to chat after my shower. Apparently CB had called them multiple times saying I was being lazy and just sitting around her house and she just wanted to me finish her driveway and leave. It wasn’t like me to just sit around EVER, especially in someone else’s home so they asked what was going on and I told them about the “job” was going. It took me almost a week to get back over there, i received constant texts/ calls about how I was slacking, I was a bad person for saying I’d help “poor old people” then leaving them to finish such a laboring task and the like. I finished the driveway in one shot, didn’t speak one word to C, and only spoke to Bob to tell him I was finished and return his garden hose. Never even said thank you. I went home happy to be done, chalk it up to a lesson learned and just avoid CB when they come over, we’re moving out soon anyway. Bob and papa were really good friends and Mimi and Caren were really good friends. Who cares if they didn’t like me? Well, remember how I said GP are just super amazing people? They cared. They cared a lot that I was giving up my days off, coming home exhausted, being used and lied about. So one day they were going to have lunch at CB house when C met them out front and lamented on her driveway being “full of brown spots I had missed and she demanded they make me come back and fix it” and how I hadn’t pressure washed the porch or the steps or the house. It just looked horrible to have a half cleaned driveway and a dirty porch and house. Papa knows I pride myself on my work, paid or not, I’m OCD with the washer, that’s why I like it so much. So he asked her to see the spots I’d missed and she starts pointing out.... brown rocks. Brown rocks IN the concrete of her driveway. She really thought that pressure washing the rocks would make them match the concrete and clearly I was too lazy to do it right. I didn’t get exact words from GPs but Caren had a meltdown about my husband and I being leeches on them, which landed them in an argument that ended both friendships, lunch being cancelled and the end of the story... or so I thought. This was all a month ago, but I’m writing this now because CB have both reached out to me AND GPs. Not to patch things up, or apologize or even say thank you. They want us to pay THEM because their water bill went up because I used their water hose to run the pressure washer. The only response they got was a written out receipt from me for my hourly rate (at my current job) times the number of hours I was there for the driveway and had spent picking up their groceries and running errands, a rental fee for the washer per day, the total of gas I had spent running the pressure washer and from the beginning of my grocery/errand runs for them to the last day I was there with the note at the bottom: I’ll pay up when you do. TLDR: I wrote all this out and you want to know about it without reading...sounds very Choosy Beggars of you..... submitted by /u/AnExtraOrdinaryGirl to r/ChoosingBeggars [link] [comments]

Just where the paint is
Some time ago where I was working we came in one morning to find that overnight someone had used paint to write ' sucks' in huge letters on our sidewalks. The letters were so big that there were only one or two per sidewalk square. They were clearly visible from the upper management office windows. Word comes down from management that erasing the message was a top priority. My boss tells me to go rent a pressure washer and wash off the paint. I tell him, no problem, the sidewalks need washed anyway. He gets the idea that I will spend all day just washing sidewalks so he tells me that he only wants me to wash off just where the paint is. We go back and forth on how much to clean and he insists that I was to only wash where the paint is. Finally, I get him to put that in writing on the work order request form because I know full well what is going to happen. I get the pressure washer and cleaner and go to work blasting off the paint with a narrow spray tip being careful to only do the spots where the paint is. Then he takes the pressure washer back to the rental company while I go do the regular daily stuff. Near the end of the day, my boss and I are both called on the carpet by the manager a few levels above my boss. He is pissed. From his window he can still clearly see the huge letters in gleaming white against the unwashed parts of the sidewalk squares. I start pulling my boss's written work orders out of my pocket. He recognizes the paper before I even unfold it so he suddenly just says he will personally fix it. He had to go rent the sprayer again. The best part was that because he wasn't going to be authorized any overtime for it, he had to stay himself to wash the entire sidewalk squares. But he only washed off that part of the sidewalk. For the next few days I had to spend time washing all of the outside concrete, including planters and curb stops, because the managers wanted everything cleaned to match. We did end up buying our own washer for this. submitted by /u/inkseep1 to r/MaliciousCompliance [link] [comments]
