    See now, as a US person who expects to tip housekeeping (and I tip them generously because I know they’re exploited and also our family has extra needs) and who also knows about shitty customers, I mostly read the note as “Don’t leave money lying randomly around and then come screaming that the maids have stolen it and you want your room comped. Use the envelope for tips.”





  • Always keep at least three days worth of drinking water in your home, a gallon per person per day. So many emergency situations, large or small, can make water unavailable or unsafe. Having filters is also helpful, but you need actual full bottles on hand. For less plastic, go with the big bottles, you can drink from cups. And OP could have washed pits and crotch at least using some of his drinking water, since it’s not citywide so he could buy more on the way home from coffee.

    Honestly, it’s a huge unexpected step from “meet for coffee” to “come shower in my apartment.” Or depending how you worded it, you could sound like you’re just trying to bail on getting together. Just because you’re not lying it’s not necessarily believable, especially in a dating context. Maybe try again when you’re done dealing with this and clean again.




  • Guess you’ll have to bring fresh-baked cookies to work then, for cover. And also sharing. Pro tip: make them large, then break a few in half, depending on the gender splits in your workplace. Women who would like a cookie but feel guilty because of norms about dieting will happily take a half. Or maybe break off a quarter. But they won’t break one if none are already broken. Most men will enjoy taking a whole one because diet norms don’t apply to them. A few people will enjoy virtuously refusing them because vegan or keto or something. Nobody will notice you smell like vanilla.

    If you’re not a baker, or you have a friend with celiac, Rice Krispy Bars also have vanilla and are gluten free.
