here is some stdh.txt that i wrote. i would like to share it with you.

my girlfriend finally realized that we are intellectual equals, even though she has a masters degree in genetics and i work in a strip mall for minimum wage repairing computers. it was all because i proved to her that even though neither of us were credentialled in sociology, i technically knew more because i took a few college credits of a semi-related class and she did not. it was at [state university located in southern california.]

thank you for sharing this moment with me!

e: omg thanks to your overwhelming response we are getting married!

After I joined the military I did two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. I feel like between god and I, we are square.

I suppose if he worships a god that wants him to kill Muslims, that would make them square, but he should look at finding a new god.

I've been into lockpicking for some time, and that community is a treasure trove of stdh.

quote:

“I am a property manager. I rented a storage space to a guy about four years ago. Unfortunately, this person died. His son contacted me and provided proof of the tenant’s death and proof of kinship. I had the son sign a statement attesting to no one else having a superior claim to the contents of the garage. I then allowed the son access to the garage. The son had keys to the padlock that was on the garage door, but I had overlocked it due to unpaid storage fees. The son paid what was owed and stated that he wanted to continue to rent the garage. He paid the storage fees for two more months and then stopped paying. During the two months when he was paying the storage fee, he would occasionally show up and remove things from the garage. The son stopped paying the storage fee after two months. I then contacted the son and requested payment. He said that he had removed everything he wanted and that he left me the garbage. He let me know that he had no intention of paying any more money. Since the storage fee was overdue, I immediately placed a lien on the belongings by overlocking again and mailing a Notice of Lien, Notice of Abandonment, and Notice of Termination of Tenancy. At this point, with all the added fees, the son owed me $300. I waited the required eighteen days. In California, anything abandoned after 18 days (with proper notice) that is worth less than $700 becomes the property of the landlord. Now here is the interesting lockpicking portion of the story: the lock was a disk-type lock so I could not cut it off due to a padlock cover on the hasp. I used several lockpicks and tension tools. Nothing seemed to work. Then I used a rake in combination with a Sparrows Gem. After about two minutes using the rake and Gem, I was able to remove the large disklock. I had a great feeling when that cylinder turned and the shackle opened. It was a Master with a hexagonal shackle so that gave me an extra sense of satisfaction since I know Master considers these locks to be high security (according to them). It is always satisfying to pick a lock that the manufacturer states is “high security.” I then determined that the fair value of the items was $600 so I placed an advertisement offering to sell it for $600. Two persons showed up at the same time to look at the items. I said that the first person who paid me $600 will have bought it. One of them immediately removed a big wad of hundred dollar bills, peeled off six of them, and handed them to me. I said that he had bought it. The other person said that this was not fair. I then asked this person if he had $600 on him. He said no, but he could go to the bank and get it. I said that I was accepting the $600 from the other person because he came prepared. It turns out that the items in the garage were worth well more than $600 to the right person(s). I have no problem with someone making money. I made an extra $300 by being able to pick a lock, the buyer made a good profit, and the son lost out because he was an rear end in a top hat. Justice is a sweet thing. By the way, I gave the padlock to a friend who is a locksmith; he impressioned a key for it and sold it to someone. Nothing went to waste.”

One of those locks is like 12-16 bucks depending on where you get it and is certainly not worth a locksmith's time in order to impression a key just to sell it.

That's a universal story. Maybe when it was originally written 55k wasn't middle class.

That was what cemented that the story wasn't true. I mean, for one thing, that exact scenario probably plays out at least once a month if you rent storage units. But when you're selling poo poo like that you sell to the first person who hands you payment. I mean, that's not just a thing that a person who owns storage units would know, anyone who's sold something or bought something on craiglist would know that. I knew that when I was a kid helping my parents buy and sell antiques glass.

The worst part is he probably learned all this poo poo watching Storage Wars (bull poo poo I know but the general way things works on that show is fairly accurate as far as the auctions themselves are run). Which means he KNOWS this isn't a badass story, but just normal business if you own storage units, but still thought that he was good enough a storyteller (and that everyone else is an idiot who never saw the show or knows literally anything about storage units) to make this story seem badass and not just like a normal day on the job.

Fat people having strong legs is a well known thing. Who the hell is surprised by that? Why was his leg curl weight not impressing them if his leg presses are so impressive? Also, if he's a "noob" I don't care if his legs are strong because he's fat, suddenly jumping weight on a machine that's targeted to certain muscles is going to leave you barely able to move the next day.
