Check out the Homemade Fruit Fly Trap That Actually Works

You’ve never known true annoyance until you’ve had to deal with fruit flies swarming your basket of lovely summer fruit on the counter.

You’ve never wanted to throw up in your kitchen until you’ve found fruit fly maggots on a bowl of cherry tomatoes you forgot existed.

I hear.

There are all sorts of tips and tricks for getting rid of fruit flies, but listen – none of them work 100%. So when I heard about a trap that really works, well…consider me riveted.

First, let’s go over the 5 most popular kinds of traps, so we can see which one worked the best for this Reader’s Digest writer.

I promise, this will be fun.

5. Leave out a piece of rotten fruit – No fruit flies captured

This seems like a good idea, because it gives your bad fruit a job, and we know fruit flies love ripe fruit.

You just chop up some fruit that’s past its eating prime, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and secure it with a rubber band, then poke some holes in the top with a toothpick.

In this woman’s test, though, no fruit flies were captured.

4. Milk, Sugar, Dish Soap, and Black Pepper – 3 fruit flies captured

These common household items are easy to find, at least – 1/2c milk, 2tsp sugar, a squirt of dish soap, and a sprinkle of black pepper on the top.

You heat the milk and sugar on the stove until the latter dissolves, then stir in the dish soap (to make the surface sticky enough to trap the flies), cracking the pepper on top last.

It only caught 3 flies overnight.

3. Balsamic Vinegar + Red Wine Vinegar – No fruit flies captured

Use equal parts and pour them into a glass. Cover it with plastic wrap and a rubber band, like the rotten fruit, and poke your holes.

You would think, based on how much they enjoy both vinegar and wine, that this would be a winner.

It was not.

2. Dish Soap, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Hot Water – 18 fruit flies captured

Squirt your dish soap (just a little) into a glass, then add apple cider vinegar until the glass is about 1/3 full. Blast steaming-hot water into the glass to form a thick layer of bubbles on top.

The fruit flies were instantly interested in this one, and she caught 18 overnight.

1. Beer + Rotten Banana – 8 fruit flies captured

One thing you probably need a use for and one you hate to toss, I guess.

You put a piece of a rotten banana in a jar, then pour in enough beer to partially cover the banana. Grab a cone-shaped coffee filter and poke a small hole in the bottle, then set it on top of the jar (make sure to hold it in place somehow.

She thought this was a sad waste of beer, trapping only 8 fruit flies overnight.

Well, there you have it my friends – the dish soap, apple cider vinegar, and hot water were the clear winner.

Go forth and conquer – that fruit is yours, and you paid a pretty penny for it, too!

People Share Things That Turned Out to Be Valuable That They Thought Were Junk

Let’s get trashy!

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

Or maybe what one person THINKS is trash is another person’s treasure.

That certainly seems to be the case in these tales from people who found what they thought was junk but it turned out to be valuable.

Let’s check out some cool stories from folks on AskReddit.

1. Good quality.

“My grandfathers violin. Sat in my garage for years before I dug it out because I wanted to learn violin and couldn’t afford to buy one.

Turns out, it’s a pretty high quality violin (and celebrating its 100th birthday in a few months!)”

2. Junk box.

“Garage sale box of junk for $5.

Had a rare Eisenhower silver medallion that was for a meeting in South America.

It was on eBay for 30 seconds and sold for $500.

Telescoping Luke action figure. $300. I’m a coin dealer so I see some cool stuff.”

3. PBR.

“I collect Pabst Blue Ribbon stuff. I have a cup full of bottle caps.

The Pabst bottle caps have playing card numbers/suits under them. I haven’t gone through my caps in a while but I wanted to see if I was any closer to having a full deck.

So I empty my caps out onto the table and all of a sudden a coin falls out! A 1937 Washington quarter. 90% silver. I have no idea where it came from.

My weird cap collection found me some silver.”

4. Joy Division.

“In a shop, found a first pressing of joy divisions album “unknown pleasures” in almost perfect condition.

When I held it up to the light and saw that ruby glow (they’re translucent but only in very strong light), I nearly fell over!

Big fan. $2 well spent! Now worth about $150 here in Australia!”

5. Oops!

“A 1973 Honda 250 Elsinore. Picked it up for a hundred bucks. Rode it until it died put a couple hundred bucks in it rode it some more.

Eventually it wasn’t worth fixing and it was trashed. Learned later it could be worth as much as $10,000 in good shape”

6. It’s mine now.

“My grandfather worked a trade all his life.

He was doing some pipe work at a house, when the owner of said house asked if my grandfather wanted to buy an old sword for $10, but it was broken in half. My grandfather said sure, he would have the money the next morning.

His coworker went behind his back and bought the sword, so the home owner said he had another one fully intact, and sold it for $1.

The date on the hilt is 1863, forged during the American Civil war. It is now in my possession.”

7. Awesome!

“One of my dad’s friend’s fathers died in about 2000.

They were cleaning out his garage and found a banjo…they gave it to me “since I played guitar,” whatever they thought that meant in regards to banjoes.”

Anyway it was a late-‘20s Gibson. I dusted it and took it to the music shop I trusted most: it appraised at about $15,000.

I took it back to my dad’s friend, of course. First thing I said was, “so I got you a present from your dad…”

About a decade later my friend’s wife’s uncle left her “the old guitar in my closet.” It turned out to be an early 1960s Gibson ES-335. That one’s good for about $30,000.”

8. City dump.

“I found a LaBlanc clarinet in a city dump in perfectly good condition.

I called the company with the serial number. They told me it was one of 100 Bflat clarinets made in 1952 and worth $2,500.”

9. Hang on to it.

“My grandpa gave me a really good condition Han Solo and Tuan Tuan figure, I didn’t think it was a piece of junk, and still liked the look of it. He said, “take good care, hold on to it, and don’t open it.”

I never knew what he meant until I looked on amazon and eBay, people were selling them for hundreds!

Now I know what he means, as it collects dust, it also collects value.”

10. Rusted out.

“Me and my aunt found an old rusted piece of pin that’s the size of a coin

When we cleaned it, we found markings on it. We asked my aunt’s friend who works at a museum and he said it was most likely an earring from precolonial times of the natives in our country.

The museum bought it from us for around USD380 or about 20k in our money.”

11. Jackpot.

“Years ago a family friend found an old record at a garage sale.

Turned out to be one of two copies of a Velvet Underground recording. If I remember right, the original owner had worked with the band, passed away, and his wife sold a bunch of his records.

Family friend bought it for 75￠, and sold it for a cool $25,000 on ebay. A couple places even reported on it back in the day.”

12. Good deal.

“Saw an ad on Facebook of a bass for $30.

Bought it and it turned out to be a fender jazz bass which is like $600 on the fender website!”

13. Pearls.

“I bought some black pearls from a box of “junk jewelry” at an antique mall for $5 each for matching bracelet and necklace.

They turned out to be the real thing Tahitian Black Pearls, worth several hundred dollars.

I wear them on special occasions.”

14. Gold watch.

“My dads girlfriend found a gold watch in a thrift shop that was made in Switzerland for .50.

It sold for around 1,800.”

15. Hiding cash.

“My grandpa died when I was young and my parents had a garage sale to get rid of junk and they almost sold a cookie jar before checking what was inside and it was a wad of $100 bills.

Turns out my grandfather had a habit of hiding money in random places and he had false books hiding pearls, false bottoms in drawers hiding gold or cash and about $1000 in a bicycle’s left handlebar.”

Wow!

Have you ever found something you thought was junk that turned out to be worth something?

If so, tell us all about it in the comments. Thanks!

People Talk About “Pieces of Junk” They Found That Turned Out to Be Worth Some Money

I think we’ve all dreamed about finding some discovered item that we rush home with under our coat and, once safely at home, we examine it and discover that it’s something worth a lot of dough.

It’s never happened to me, but I think I still have some time to get lucky…

Here are some stories from some folks on AskReddit who found “junk” that turned out to be worth something.

Let’s take a look.

1. Wow!

“I found a small envelope with a few inches of wire in a junk shop.

Bought it (US$2) because it had some faded penciling about troy oz. Turned out to about 1.5 troy ounces of platinum wire.

Sold it for US$600 !”

2. Score!

“Years ago I bought a condo in foreclosure.

We couldn’t go inside, just look from outside and put in a bid. My bid won. When I went inside the place it was pretty trashed. I checked all the rooms, calculating the costs of getting it back into shape.

At the end of my walk thru I went into the garage and saw there was a car under a tarp. Hmmm …

I pulled the tarp back and saw a 1972 Barracuda in nearly mint condition.”

3. Good investment.

“A first or second edition of the Oregon Trail book.

It’s a bit damaged, so not that valuable, but still a few hundred more than the $15 I paid for it.”

4. Not a fake.

“Found a “fake” Cartier watch in Goodwill for $10.

Bought it because it still looked nice. But it’s a real Cartier watch and it’s worth $1000+.

Keeping it because I’d never buy myself something like that.”

5. Old guitar.

“Dad carried around a junk guitar for 50 years.

Ugly as hell sunburst Gibson acoustic (circa 50’s or 60’s can’t remember) that he eventually sanded down into something prettier. When I was learning he took it to be tuned up by our neighbor who owned a shop and was a collector.

Dude came back exasperated and told us that my dad had sanded about 50k off the guitar, and that it would have been totally worthless if he hadn’t left the logo on.”

6. Awesome!

“Old folded up piece of paper in the bottom of a box my dad had I found cleaning up the house, torn up and faded.

Turned out to be a 90 year old original Jean Carlu poster worth roughly $20,000 after spending $1,000 for restoration.”

7. A good flip.

“Someone gave me a hideous purse out of a box on its way to goodwill.

I sold it on eBay for $1,100. I’ve had some good flips, but that was the best.”

8. Estate sale score.

“I was at an estate sale and bought a few paintings sweet lady told me to take the last one I liked as package deal since I ran out of cash.

Turns out one of them is a pretty rare original print worth about $3,500 and I paid maybe 30$ for all 4 prints and paintings I wanted.”

9. Who knew?

“I found a book at a trash bin. The Wind in the Willows I never got to read it as a kid.

After finishing it I googled the edition date turns out its a collectible worth $300… Who knew?”

10. Good fortune.

“Bought a mid-century Ottoman for $75 at an estate sale in NYC.

Found out years later it’s worth $3,000.”

11. Ghosted.

“So my mom and I were helping a family friend deep clean the house to sell. (Not rich, but not poor) Well I found these cool colorful sketch-style art prints all rolled up in a corner of his shop, he told us that we could keep them, since he wasn’t much of an art guy.

Turns out the signatures on the prints was Dali. I had been to a Dali and Picasso exhibit in Rome, so I recognized the signature.

We had them appraised, they were worth quite a bit. Out of respect we told the guy who gave them to us. He asked for them back and then he ghosted us with the prints. We aren’t in touch with him anymore. Never found out what happened with them.”

12. It’s gold!

“When I was nine or ten years old, I found some metal clips and a brooch while playing in some old ruins. Since our city has been there since Roman times, it was obvious that it might be really old. But usually, that stuff isn’t worth much.

Showed it to the archeologists at the local museum and turned out it was gold. Everything. They asked where I found that, excavated the area (again) and found quite the stash of fine Terra Sigillata with coins and jewelry in it.

I was allowed ro keep three things and I chose a perfectly preserved dinner plate, a ring and a coin.”

13. The old owners.

“Found an old box under some insulation in my new house’s attic, opened it out of morbid interest and found a sega with a handul of games.

Out of the love of mine i contacted the old owners (i guessed they might love theirs like i do mine) they were so ecstatic to have it back.

Turns out that it was their sons, they had lost him when he was 8 and that sega plus a handful of other things were all they had left.

Might not have been worth loads of money but was definitely more valuable to them than any amount of gold.”

14. Priceless.

“When I was 17, I found a driver’s license on the ground from a guy who was 22 and resembled me a fair bit.

Rarely had a problem getting into bars or clubs with it. It was priceless.”

How about you?

Have ever discovered what looked like a piece of junk but it turned out to be valuable?

If so, please share your story with us in the comments.

Nostalgic Posts That Reveal a Person’s Age Without Saying a Number

The Internet sure loves its trends, and one of the more fun ones recently is people describing how old they are with a picture or a written statement about their life that just totally gives it away.

These 10 posts definitely get the job done, as I could definitely pinpoint a person’s age to within the decade, if not a bit more specifically.

10. Otherwise, you’d better not come back unless you were bleeding.

It was a simpler time.

9. Otherwise there would be trouble.

Your parents wouldn’t let you use their phone anymore, probably.

8. That sound just triggered my PTSD.

So much time wasted.

7. We spent so much of our parents’s money!

But they couldn’t say no because it was on books.

6. These WERE cool when they first came out.

Compared to what came before – just ask Zack Morris.

5. Teachers still use these.

Bless their hearts.

4. It really brought the family together.

The family without privacy can always blackmail each other.

3. Our first Apple IIE was something to behold.

Man, I loved that thing.

2. So much adrenaline.

Kids today will never know the courage it took.

1. Lisa Frank on a Trapper Keeper.

It didn’t get any better than that.

There are a lot of fellow Gen X/Xennial people on Twitter, I think! Well, of course there are. Everybody’s on Twitter. All ages, all intellectual levels. Some higher than others.

I digress…

If you were going to describe your age without using a number, what would you say/post? Tell us in the comments, fam!

Thanks!

People Discuss Their Favorite Memories From Going to School

We all tend to look at the past through rose-colored glasses…at least a little bit.

When I look back on my school days, especially high school, it seems like it was all fun and games and having a blast with my friends.

But I know that, in reality, certain days were really difficult and I was pretty unhappy for stretches of time.

But I have a lot of wonderful memories from those years, too.

Here’s what AskReddit users had to say about their favorite memorial from when they went to school.

1. Sounds fun!

“My 3rd grade class had a “reading loft”.

It was a pretty good sized “fort” (probably taking up 1/3 of the classroom) covered in carpet and had lots of cool places to hang out if you wanted to read.

The teacher incentivized us to finish work early so we could grab a book and head to the “reading loft” so we didn’t have to hang out at our desks being bored.”

2. A nice gesture from Dad.

“I got bullied a lot in middle school.

One day in math I’d just been overwhelmed and couldn’t take anymore so I called my dad and begged him to pick me up. He told me I’d be alright and just ignore it.

20 minutes later I got called to the office for check out and he took me to get my favorite food and spent the afternoon in the park with me. RIP old man, that was one of the best days of my entire life.”

3. Field trip.

“In third grade, it was some reading appreciation week, and we decided as a class to visit a cemetery.

Granted it’s a pretty famous cemetery with a couple of really important people buried there, and we had a scavenger hunt to find them. Along with like the oldest grave we could find, the biggest, and we had to make a rubbing of one of our choosing.

As a strange child, it was the best field trip I had ever been on.”

4. New BFF.

“When I was in second grade, I got bullied because my whole family was deaf.

One kid kept picking on me everyday. Well one day he came up to me and started screaming, saying can your mom hear me, and this tall girl stepped in and punched him in the face.

She got suspended, but no one ever made fun of me again. We became best friends after that.”

5. Look out!

“Every morning my teacher will ask us questions about history if we get it right he would give us a snicker bar.

But this the funny part, he would throw the snickers bar at us real hard. So if get the question right you would had to dodge the fast moving snickers.”

6. Who’s the biggest fan?

“I was a terrible student and a huge baseball fan growing up. In 6th grade I had an English teacher who knew I wasn’t dumb, just hard to motivate.

She privately offered me an extra credit assignment, all I had to do was write a 2 page essay on any topic I liked at all explaining why I liked it so much. I straight up turned down her offer, being content with my C- grade.

So she flipped it around on me and publicly told another guy in my class that since HE was the biggest Red Sox fan in the class, he should write a 2 page essay about the Red Sox and present it to the class.

I practically jumped out of my seat and said I was a way bigger Red Sox fan than Mike and I should be the one writing that essay. She let us both write one. She was a really good teacher”

7. Now THAT’S a good memory.

“Skipping out on a Monday to drive to the city 5 hours away to see Iron Maiden in concert in December 1984!”

8. The good old days.

“The record for most milk cartons drank before throwing up was 26 by the time I graduated.

They started suspending anyone who tried to break the record because they were cleaning up milk puke so often.”

9. Epic!

“Nickelodeon took over my school when I was in the 2nd grade. All the Nickelodeon celebrities were there.

Mr. Wizard did cool science experiments, Barth did gross stuff with food, Marc Summers had the Super Sloppy Double Dare obstacle course we could go through and teachers got slimed and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles put on a concert.

It was literally a dream come true. And then at the end we all got free backpacks filled with Nickelodeon swag. I still think about that day.”

10. Keeping the kids interested.

“Listening to my middle school history teacher give her lectures.

In her heart of hearts she was a storyteller and always knew how to keep me captivated.”

11. A nice reminder.

“On my first day of school, my mom sent little Debbie pumpkin smiley faces in my lunch.

Fast forward a couple of years, and due to my dads dangerous mental state, I had been in long term physical rehab, recovering from a gunshot, and living in a group home for about 6 months before my uncle got custody of me, halfway across the country.

There I was, in a different state, with different weather, at a new school where I didn’t know anybody, and I open my lunchbox, and there’s my pumpkin snack cakes.”

12. Going back in time.

“My 5th grade teacher brought in an actual 1700s musket to show us during the Revolutionary War unit.

I’ll never forget that honestly. Especially considering that would NEVER fly in schools today.”

13. Congrats!

“My last day of high school, actually. It was our graduation ceremony. The school made me sit with a bunch of kids I don’t know. Others were allowed to sit with whoever they want. The school didn’t tell us anything, just made us sit there.

Apparently my stupid *ss got the highest standardized exam grade in a subject and I was sat there because those kids got the highest grades too, in other subjects. I honestly did not see that coming at all, but I was so happy and proud of myself.”

14. Nap time!

“When I was on 8th grade a Friday at 6:40am we were at Biology class, all of us including the teacher were still sleepy, one of my classmates fell asleep and the teacher said: “I know all of you still sleepy, like yesterday everyone of you did a good work I will let you sleep half of the class”.

He also fell asleep, but he forgot to wake us up until the bell rang. Biology class lasts two hours.”

In the comments, tell us about some of your favorite memories from school.

We’d love to hear from you.

Please and thank you!

Fed Up Folks Discuss the Topics They’re Tired of Explaining

All of us get tired of explaining certain things to people.

Maybe it’s work-related, maybe it’s some kind of religious or political belief, or perhaps it’s about something that totally unique to you that other people have no idea about.

Whatever the case, doing it over and over again GETS OLD. And it gets old fast.

Here’s what folks on AskReddit are tired of explaining to other people.

1. Don’t want ’em.

“I dont have kids, because I dont want to.

And that should be a good enough reason.

What’s insane is when some people go on to think that being childfree means you hate kids. I’m sure there are a few of those out there, but on the whole, it’s like saying I must hate elephants because I don’t have one.

Uh, no.”

2. That’s not me.

“That I’m not a heavy metal, death riding biker because I have a beard, tattoos and piercings.”

3. A new lifestyle.

“Why I left my “career” using my degree and decided to just to wait tables.

I’m so much happier honestly. F*ck the money and idea of moving up the ladder.

I’m never gonna be rich but I’m happier so that’s all that really matters.”

4. Pay attention, people!

“I’m a pharmacist…

Vaccines don’t cause autism

The pharmacy doesn’t decide your copays

No, I don’t just “put pills in a bottle”

Flu shots won’t give you the flu

Yes, mask mandates help slow the spread of COVID 19.”

5. Doesn’t work that way.

“That depression is a very difficult illness to understand. It’s not like we can influence our moods to be happy.

“Why can’t you just be happy?”

“What a brilliant idea, depression no more!”

Just sickening to be honest. That’s why isolating myself from people is easier. No one wants to hear how hard it is.”

6. Facts are facts.

“That there are things called facts and that they are different from opinions.

That you can’t substitute opinions — even ones you really, really believe in — for empirically grounded facts. Finally, that expertise exists and that opinionation is not the same thing as having actual expertise in something.

And all of this might mean that your views might not be as valid as someone else’s who possesses actual expertise in a given area. Don’t feel bad or that you have been slighted in those circumstances.

Those times are learning opportunities. Take advantage of them, learn something from someone who is an expert, challenge your assumptions and grow a little.”

7. Ugh.

“I have Schizophrenia, and usually when I get to know someone I tell them I have it just as a little warning and what to do if it gets out of hand.

But before I can even explain that they always say “omg u have schizophrenia! So you have two personalities and kill people like that person from that one tv show?!”

No, no I do not kill people, the media has a sh*t representation of the condition. So I always then have to spend the next 20 mins explaining what it is.”

8. Frustrating.

“That you have to wear a mask inside.

At my job that’s what I do 99% of the day and I’m sick and tired of these idiots.”

9. Get those Zzzzzzzs.

“Teenagers need 10-11 hours of sleep, because their brains are still developing, they also need to go to bed later because teenagers naturally want to stay up.

Sleep is important for brain development.

It helps prevent memory loss, weight gain, and likelihood of dying of a stroke or aneurysm.”

10. Here’s how it works.

“What intermittent fasting is. I’ve been doing 20:4 (20 hours of fasting, 4 hours window for feeding) for over 3 years now.

It’s a diet and helps me controle an hormonal condition I have at the same time. Yet whenever people notice I don’t eat for breakfast and lunch, they’re like “omg you’re starving yourself!!!”.

No, I’m not. I feel great, even better than when I ate “normally”.”

11. Many different views.

“That there are more than two sides to many issues. The fact that I disagree with you does not prove that I agree with those you hate. There are plenty of people who are ridiculous in plenty of ways — and they’re all ridiculous.

“You either agree with me or it means you support——”

No, it doesn’t. I recognize that both sides are mostly made up of angry idiots.”

12. A lot of misinformation.

“As someone into fitness, and who has done a lot of research into food, diet, and have had to overcome many obstacles to lose a lot of weight and have the physique I have today.

There’s so much misinformation out there about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods, it´s insane…”

13. Listen up.

“Climate change, the importance of reducing your personal carbon footprint and your personal freshwater consumption.

Why my vegetarianism is a ‘personal choice’ that can play into that and why it is not a conviction that I ‘desperately want to push’ on everybody.”

14. Just the way it is.

“I am not skinny because I don’t eat… I am just skinny…

I can finish a month worth of your food in a day, still I will be skinny.

I just am skinny.”

15. Time for a history lesson.

“Abraham Lincoln was not a conservative.

The Republican party of the 19th century was made up of classical liberals. That is what they called themselves. The party was founded for the purpose of preventing the expansion of slavery in American territories.

I don’t know how anyone could believe that anti-slavery is a conservative stance. Slavery was a “traditional” institution. To be anti-slavery in the 19th century was to be against the wealthy elite.

It was an embrace of modern ideals. It can not, in any sense of the phrase, be described as a conservative movement.

Now, seceding from the US to prevent wealthy landowners from losing out on the profits of slavery, that is a conservative movement. Any push to retain the traditional way of doing things is conservative.”

What are YOU tired of explaining to other people?

Sound off in the comments!

We’d love to hear from you!

This Guy on TikTok Tells You How to Get Free Food From Restaurants

We’re all feeling the strain right now, be it emotionally, physically, financially, or some combination of all three. It can mean that comfort food, though necessary, can feel like too much of a splurge, in one way or another.

This TikTok kid is playing up the role of “poor college kid,” and sharing his trick for getting free food on almost a daily basis with all of us.

Here’s a hint…

Image Credit: TikTok

Noah Wylie is 19, and what he realized is that there are a lot of restaurants who offer some sort of birthday freebie as part of signing up on their website, for rewards, or something similar.

It could be a drink, could be dessert, but there are also places that give you a whole free meal.

Image Credit: iStock

At least 365 of them, it turns out.

That’s right – Mr. Noah Wille made up a fake email address, then signed up for 365 different restaurants rewards programs with a different birthday on each one!

He had to make a spreadsheet to keep track of which place he would be swindling that day, but I mean…

Image Credit: TikTok/NoahWille

It’s kind of brilliant, and he explains it in detail in this video…

@noahwille

Free food year round #fyp #foryou #foryoupage #xyzcba #xyzbca #TodayILearned

♬ original sound – Noah Wille

He says he hopes he’s not the only person in the world who has stooped to this level, but if he’s not…well, I haven’t seen anyone else popping out of the woodwork to give him a high five.

Just sayin.’

As much as you might be tempted to try this, for one reason or another, remember that those negative effects of the world are hitting restaurants, too.

So, you know. Maybe just do this a few times and not every day.

Awful Tenants Ask Their Landlord to “Be More Professional” and Malicious Compliance Ensues

If there is a more tense relationship in the world than the one between landlord and tenant, I don’t know what it is. There’s a natural power imbalance, which some tenants make up for by destroying sh%t and ruining things for the rest of us.

Most of us are normal renters, though, but these people?

They went just a little too far.

It began when the landlord asked his tenants to comply with two (contracted) issues: adding a person to the lease who was living there, and having their new dog approved.

Image Credit: Reddit

He says he asked nicely.

Image Credit: Reddit

He also asked if they planned to renew the lease, and when they didn’t respond, he notified them he would begin showing the unit.

He says he worked as hard as possible to make it easy on them, one parent to another.

Image Credit: Reddit

They didn’t respect his requests for them to clear out during showings, and things got pretty crowded pretty fast.

After some maneuvering, everything works fine – they leave, the showings are completed, etc etc.

THEN, she gets a voicemail from one of the men – who is not even on the lease – telling her how unprofessional it was of her to bring her children, and also complaining about the short notice and about how they had to sterilize all of their newborn’s things after other children were in the apartment.

Yeah.

So, she started to be extra professional.

Those violations? She sent official notices of them. She sent an official notice to vacate. She called their mother, who was their emergency contact.

She. Called. Their. Mom!

They did take care of the violations, and moved out on the assigned date, though there was some damage to the apartment that exceeded what was left in their security deposit.

She threatened to take them to small claims court, and they said that didn’t seem fair.

Professional was what he wanted, and professional was what he got. I bet he won’t ask someone to be that again.

I don’t know about this one, y’all. It’s not that she wasn’t justified, it’s that I’ve had a newborn and other life stresses and sometimes, you know, you just say things you normally wouldn’t.

What do you think about it? Tell me whether you agree or disagree in the comments!

People Describe How Old They Are Without Using Their Age

I recently tweeted that I was “one of my girlfriends (named Karen) just lamented the closing of a local Olive Garden” years old.”

That’s just one example of how one could describe their age without giving away the exact number, and honestly, there are people out there doing it with way snappier humor than me.

If you’re up for that, here are 13 people who had some pretty hilarious takes.

13. It’s how we saw the Challenger explode.

I’m willing to bet under-funded districts still use these.

12. We never did feel very sorry for those ducks, huh.

I guess maybe violent video games doesn’t make you a murderer.

11. This is the eating area of a Taco Bell, my friends.

It distracted you from the lack of cleanliness.

10. That game was impossible.

Don’t try to tell me it wasn’t.

9. We admit the skipping was a problem.

The CD, not school. The latter wasn’t a problem, per say.

8. Just this picture gave me nostalgia.

I can almost smell it.

7. These seemed like miracles.

Colorful, pocked-sized miracles.

6. They were seriously so cool, too.

We were shocked and awed.

5. We all know nothing has changed beneath the surface, right?

Man, that slide burned the crap out of your legs.

4. No, we’re not talking about the television show.

We’re talking about your FUTURE, JESSICA.

3. You think we like cereal this much for another reason?

There were TOYS.

2. This seems like it was a brief moment in time.

It was annoying, not sorry it’s gone.

1. To be fair, these shows are still on PBS Kids.

The new ones aren’t as good, though.

I think I could ballpark most of these people’s ages, couldn’t you?

Give your own age-without-the-number a shot in the comments!
