Yes this might be fake but the sigma male grindset bullshit is ubiquitous enough that I can see this happening

    lmao at "rentoid" ... zero chance this isn't a bit. it's far too insane and funny.

    if i was that dadoid i would call my kid a "son-oid" and sell all his gamer shit on FB marketplace and take his mom out to a spa day and then a fancy dinner or whatever the fuck. then tell him to get a job and give me a 33% cut + tips like a good little workoid, because i am his landlord now.

      Rentoid is literally the word I have seen in use in some landlord communities so that actually doesn't set off the red flags for me.

      The tipping the landlord part does though lmao

      This feels like 4chan discourse. Just a bunch of terminally online dorks gassing each other up with increasingly provocative language and elaborate boasting.

      If my son was that fucked in the head I'd just go out for a pack of cigarettes and write this whole parenthood thing off as a loss. Kid's going to become a fabulously rich landlord so I'm sure he'll get along fine.

    this might be fake

    No fifteen year old is paying their parents' landlord a $50 tip, this whole post is just landlord memes that started off as mocking bootlickers and turned into an unironic celebration of rent seeking.

      I genuinely wonder how many landlords have been unironically "tipped" by terminally online dipshits.

          Nah. It has to have happened. Some fresh-faced :jordan-eboy-peterson: fan with an Elon Musk tramp stamp out there must have tried to do it in order to impress people.

            How would anyone even "tip" a landlord? They don't come to the door and collect an envelope of cash like Mr. Roper any more.

              Idfk, man. Slip them a fiver under the office door? Grease a palm? Hand'm a second check? I'm not here for the logistics of it.

                No one with enough money and not enough class experience to tip a landlord knows who their landlord is or interacts with them.

                  I've rented at locations where I met the guy who was renting the property. Like, literally shook his hand to close the deal and got handed the key, then wired the money straight to his account. Then dialed him up and argued with him over this or that shit falling apart on the premise.

                  Management companies don't run everything. Plenty of indie landlords exist. They tend to be the most awful people to deal with, simply because they start out thinking they can just do all their own maintenance and then decide its cheaper to... not. Tipping them is simultaneously more sensible (because they're ostensibly also your handyman) and less sensible (because they're amateurs when they do the work which is rarely if ever) than tipping the on-staff plumber or electrician for a big corporately managed unit.

                Hand’m a second check?

                If there is a lease involved then they're going to stick to the terms for fear of being sued for breach of contract (I would think).

        I know here people offer more rent than the asking price because the rental market is so tight.

    this is the literal fakest shit. But yeah, the solution is to demonstrate to the child how much the shit sucks. Build up a document where you'd "charge" the kid for rent and utilities, and cut off any allowance or gift money. Suggest they get a job, and peg the rent and utilities to 101% of income. Don't actually do it, but this usually shuts that line of thinking down. It's entirely based on a lack of understanding or experience with not being on the top of every heirarchy they imagine or believe they experience in managed environments.

    Charge them their share of the rent and force them to get a retail job until they shut the fuck up :shrug-outta-hecks:
