  • Well, the problem you have is with how your landlords treat you

    I don't know the situation, but I trust you when you imply you're not causing any issues

    So possible solutions would be for their behavior to change, your perception of their behavior to change, or not relying on them for housing

    Do you think it's possible for them to change? I'm guessing not. I'm guessing you rent a room from a private home. I'm guessing they rent it out for money and to have sovereignty over others. If this is true, I'm guessing you'd have better luck talking to a wall.

    You could change your perception. Maybe keep your food in your room, buy a camping stove, cook outside of the kitchen. Maybe you could rationalize that it's their house and their rules and it doesn't matter how you feel about their rules since you have demand and they have supply.

    I don't know about you, but those top two options seem like shit. I don't think you could afford to move tomorrow, but do you have a deposit? If not you could skip your last month's rent, maybe even more since they'd have to give you a full thirty day notice even with missing a payment. Do you have a lease agreement? I would make sure they couldn't take it. There's a good chunk of money, and you have the rest of your income to consider. If it's a private home, they're not gonna have major legal resources so if they wanna get back at you it's gonna cost them. You can ask someone you know if they'll pretend to be your landlord, they can say you lived there for years, always paid rent, and just want something new.

    I'm guessing you work 40 hours a week at around 12 an hour? Maybe you could pick up a second job, or find something with higher pay or more hours. You can also sell your plasma, for me selling plasma is 400 a month if they don't have any promotions going on.

    • Yes I do work 40 hours at 12 an hour. I don't make a lot of money. I have not complained since the house belongs to them so no piont in complaining.

      • I hear ya. Working overtime would be 18 an hour, or working 15 to 20 hours somewhere else would be almost 500 a month I think. Selling plasma is 400 per month for me

        Their behavior is still disgraceful assuming it's unwarranted. So the real question is did you come here to vent or find solutions?

        • I need a solution obviously. No one gives a fuck about my feelings or well being. I was kicked at 18 and loved on my own struggling everyday. I tried being a prostitute but not sure how ta find clients. Also I not sure they really buy plasma here anymore. I think its all donations. My job doesn't offer overtime ever. I already cook at the hotel now. I already trying get a second job but we just went into code purple so on the verge of shutting down again.

          • Blood is donated, plasma is bought, unless you're not in America? Even if you're not in America I would think you would find it worthwhile to like check

            I think OnlyFans would be better than being a full on prostitute, you used to be able to go on BackPage to be an escort

            Your current job not offering overtime doesn't exclude you from looking for a second job or finding a job that works for you

            • Only fans is over saturated so unless you have a hell of a pitch ain't many going to buy.

            • Like I stated I am looking for another job, but we are on code purple and so most of the places have put on freeze on hiring. Corona has fucked up a lot of businesses right now and my state is on the verge of shut down at the moment. Right now is not a good time to be looking for work.

              • Under that stipulation I think your smartest move is to just lay low for a while

                Don't spend too much, pay your bills, buy food that won't piss your landlords off (maybe frozen food you can just toss in the oven?) and try to save if you can

                Maybe consciously act threatened or whatever around them, that might give them their satisfaction while saving your sanity, like giving a screaming infant some milk or a pacifier. I'm pretty neutral, I usually just say okay if someone tells me something I don't like.

                I don't know what code purple means, but I would hope you are intelligently assessing the risks. What would happen if you got fired tomorrow? How did you find this job? Small businesses may be hurting, but some really well established chains are maintaining business. I mean it just really seems to suck, you live with what I'm assuming are narcissists and your options are critically limited. Have you been homeless before? Winters coming for the Northern Hemisphere. I've been in your shoes with problems that can't seem to be solved, you either cave in or develop tremendously (kinda like a roller coaster with ups and downs in the bigger picture)
