Usually I don’t believe these quotes, but it’s attributed and there’s her picture, so it must be true.
Plus it’s on the internet so bonus trust points there
The only thing that could make it more true is if michael scott said it somewhere
I know a guy who knows Michael Scott and he said Michael Scott said this as well.
My dog overheard you saying that and he told me in a dream that it is true
“This is a real quote, because nobody would ever pretend to be a famous person just to lie on the Internet.” - Margot Robbie, Internet forum moderator and occasional actress
The ressemblance with the actress is striking
I did have a movie out this year and may have promoted it just a little bit here.
Wait you mean academy award winning actress Margot Robbie? She has some good quotes.
But see, I finally got you to say it. 😁
Also, Academy Award Nominated, and hopefully finally winning it on the next one for Barbie.
Ah fair fair. I am not a movie person, and less an awards person, I just remember seeing you post that all over lol. Good luck!
If saw definitive proof that the person behind this account was anyone other than Margot Robbie, no I didn’t,
Living in a part of the world where we don’t really tip I have to ask, is tipping your landlord really a thing?
“Tipping the landlord” Some landlord/employer posted on Twitter how none of their employees/tenants are grateful for the nice things the capitalist provides them with. They said that they’d like to get tipped occasionally. It might have been a shitpost, but it blew up. Now, ‘tipping the landlord’ is an internet gag line. No one in real life tips their land lord.
Ah, get it. Thanks for explaining.
In addition to that. It’s probably mocking these places where it asks if you want to leave a tip when you didn’t see a single employee your entire visit. Or counter service/fast food etc.
Its’ all good.
I think it’s just a joke that if you tip your landlord, you are really stupid or attracted to him.
Yea. Why tip someone that’s pocketing money that could otherwise be building your equity? Landlords are quite literally just leeches.
No, they aren’t. Not everyone wants the hassle of owning and maintaining a property, or going a few hundred grand in debt to buy a non-liquid asset.
Apartments and rental units do serve a purpose.
Not everyone, but the vast majority of everyone, and even those who don’t want to buy would still probably be better off with owning instead of renting.
“Going a few hundred grand in debt to buy a non-liquid asset” a house is probably the best asset you could buy for yourself, and also, do you think you’re saving money renting? Do you think a landlord is losing money on his mortgage? You’re covering the mortgage anyway, and then a premium for not having it in your name.
Renting over owning is a more stable outlay (no “surprise, you need a new water heater” expenses for renters) and it gives flexibility for moving with any kind of frequency. I agree that home ownership should be more attainable and affordable, but it’s not a clean win 100% of the time for everyone.
You’re still paying for the water heater, the expense is just hidden over long term inflated rent prices.
Yes, a buffer built into the rental price (“inflated” is a loaded term; rents can be inflated, but a rental price set to cover mortgage and amortized expenses isn’t by definition inflated), but it’s still stable.
No one wants to rent. Sure landlords serve a purpose in this capitalist hellhole, but if people could live in a single family home that they own most would take that option to rather than be beholden to some shithead that takes a 3rd of your income and just brings you problems
It’s as real as Kids requesting litter boxes in school because they identify as a furry, it’s just meme BS that a specific political group has latched on to and bitch about. It’s definitely not real.
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone bring this up in any way other than satire
Until I joined Lemmy I would have agreed with you.
EDIT: Unless you are talking about the litterbox thing, I have heard this brought up as legitimate discussion before. I quickly squashed that conversation, but there are (stupid) people out there that believe it.
I have never seen it and I’ve been renting for 20 years (omg thst is so depressing). I can imagine a landlord with a poorly set up payment processor possibly having it, but that is a stretch
In my experience the only thing like this would be the bullshit service or convenience fees.
Add on that most places won’t accept cash and you need a money order.
I’m just sick of spending money to spend money
A while back, there was this thing where some very out of touch landlords were whining about having to actually do things for their tenants and that tenants should tip them for this. Naturally, they were rightfully shamed and ridiculed for it and it never caught on, but the way I first heard about it was seeing another landlord agreeing with the original post.

It (used?) to be expected to tip your maintenance man at the end of the year in big apartment buildings (there’s even a friends episode about it). Some scummy landlords try to claim that they are the maintenance man and more and so deserve a tip. I have personally had landlords ask for it,
