Where the hell did the idea of tipping your landlord come from, anyway? I’ve heard a few people in recent years bring it up as if it was an actual thing, and I’m just like WTF?
Now we have people killing themselves in attempts to “prove” that the Earth is flat.
Never doubt the ability of satire to fly over people’s heads at 10,000ft, and for those people to swallow that satire uncritically; hook, line, and sinker.
There have been some smaller landlords who have actually asked for it. If it has been successful for them or not I cannot say. I would assume not, it’s fucking asinine.

I believe it has roots in r/landlordlove. A
satireVery Serious™ subreddit.Flat earther-ism used to be satire, too.

I know. Landlords deserve a tip for real.
You wouldn’t happen to have footage of something so hilarious?
It’s a video of a guy that falls off the edge of the world. You can hear him saying “see I was right!” as he bounces off the shell of the turtle.
aww sweet I wanna see that!
No, we’re not joking.
Of course we aren’t!
Pretty sure it’s not an actual thing anywhere, just a subtle pervasive joke.

They’re asking for it? WTF.
But hey, I think the value of a tip is the appreciation it shows when it is not expected.
It’s been more like coercion as far as I could tell, but yes.
Asinine… Asiten… Either way, landlords rank high on the ass scale.
I fucking hope not.
No I had an old landlord strongly imply he should be tipped.
They basically said “you know it’s traditional to tip your maintaince man at Christmas, and I do a lot more than that”
I obviously did not tip.
Your maintenance man is NOT your landlord, and honestly probably deserves a tip. I tip my garbage men on christmas.
Fuck your landlord for implying he does more and deserves a tip though.
