Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.
Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.

I didn’t understand the importance of quality and the true premium you pay for certain things. I often would buy the cheapest thing I could find to serve a certain function. After awhile, you find yourself replacing cheap things because they wear out quickly. Buying quality can mean paying a lot more, but it also usually means you don’t have to replace it much, if at all.
I kind of agree with you. I bought my first set of tools extremely cheap, like $25 for a whole tool case. I keep replacing the things I use regularly with better quality stuff, and the things I don’t use often don’t get enough wear to impact usage in the first place. But there are things like my Hilti power drill, which I do not want to fail whatsoever and as such I paid the premium upfront.
I'm finding this on a lot of the "deals" my wife has been finding on the TikTok shop. Piece of junk falls apart, so it inevitably gets replaced with a more expensive one I didn't really need in the first place.
Oh shit. She might be playing me.
I'm a little on the flipside with this one. I'm figuring it out that some of the best things out there, aren't usually the ones that cost a premium. It just boils down to what that something is and whether you want it's best version. Like, some of the brand-names in stores aren't usually some of the best that's out there compared to generic brands. I know this from some of the review videos I've watched like Project Farm on YouTube.
I find this to be true with things like store brand foods but I've found the majority of the time if you buy something you need durability out of, you will regret buying the cheap shit
