It kind of sounds like you had cleanliness issue too.
it was covid lockdown. i don't think i was the only one who skipped the odd laundry day.
this was a whole different thing, though. i'd already lived here (i'm still in the same place) for three years without any issues. i'm not neurotic, but i do try to keep my place clean.
or at least i thought i did..
these roaches taught me so much. to this day, i still keep my organic waste in a bag in my freezer. i got rid of my coffee machine and switched to instant - explaining why would probably make you sick. i never leave dishes to "soak" any more.
i'm telling you, it got bad. really bad. i talked to the super, and she said that someone moved in who 'was from a different part of the world and is used to roaches'. like, what? it got to the point where i always had a fly swatter in one had and a bottle of windex in the other. i was killing 20-30 by hand every night. they weren't coming over for food; they were so bad at the other apartment that they were coming there to scope a new place to live.

Reminds me of my hermit uncle who used to clean the beer cans off of his floor with a rake before we would come visit.

Some people have a 401k. This guy's retirement is in metals.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]A local store just upgraded the deposit machine, so instead of depositing one single can at a time, I now empty an entire bag of hundreds of cans into the machine and let it sort it out.
It's great, saves lots of time and makes everything easier. Instead of bringing a shopping bag with 20 cans everytime I shop I can take an entire sack of 200 cans every month or so.Unfortunately... the same kind of people who used to cause queues with their 200 can garbage bags at the usual refund machines also figured this out, so now they're causing a queue at the new machine with trailer loads of garbage bags full of thousands of cans.
I have no idea where they get all those cans.

That image leaves me helpless with mirth.

I choose to believe every single word of it. The universe is more interesting if it's true.

not to the roaches.. i learned that the hard way a few years ago.
during covid, i left a couple of cases of empty bottles on my kitchen floor and didn't think anything of them for a month or so. that's how i found out my neighbors had cleanliness issues, and the roaches found out they had a new place next door to terrorize. horrible experience - don't keep your empties in your apartment.
“Left a couple of cases of empty alcohol bottles on the floor for a month….”
“Then I got roaches from it! That’s how I knew my neighbors had cleanliness issues.”
…….?

This man will repair your car in such a way it will both never break and when you do go to a normal mechanic for something they will gaze upon it in awe and horror.

I used to be a programmer and now I fix cars professionally, I feel like half of my professional life has been gazing upon some ancient work of dark magic and cussing loudly because I know I'm about to have to go in.
The line between jank and wizardry is sometimes blurry. The best magic has a little bit of jank in it, and the worst jank is sometimes a little bit magical.

I would suspect some sort of scheme bringing cans from a neighboring state or whatever without a deposit. Just one more reason to wish for a national deposit program in the US.

I have a French press so I don’t have to worry about brewing roach coffee.

I find it highly unlikely that Clark Gable is on social media as that he has been deceased since 1960 long before the invention of the internet. What I think is taking place is someone is posing as Clark Gable to malign his slovenly neighbour. Clark Gable was a great actor and probably why Superman was named Clark and if he were alive today he would continue to make great films but it is also highly unlikely that Clark would live beside a trashcan.

Learned the trick. Quick, very quick, rinse in the sink, dunk it upside down in the drain. Rinse (heh) and repeat for the next can. Almost zero effort, clean cans for the recycling bag. I took a load the size pictured for recycling last month. No stink. Only got a lousy $100.10.

Fr though, I dealt* with roaches for years and it was legitimately traumatizing. Any time I feel something brush my leg or I catch a glimpse of something dark in the corner of my eye I begin to panic. I've woken up in a cold sweat because I would have dreams of roaches and shit. Truly awful experience

I just empty them, put them in a crate, then every monday empty the kitchen crate into my garage sack. When they're full i take 'em up to CDS
