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?
I believe it has roots in r/landlordlove. A
satireVery Serious™ subreddit.Pretty sure it's not an actual thing anywhere, just a subtle pervasive joke.
I fucking hope not.
Closest thing I can think of is reikin in Japan: https://www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/reikin
I thought it was internet legend like white people clapping when the plane lands

NGL I thought this image was supposed to be the landlord pulling bags of money that the tenants paid by what each says.
No that doesn't make much sense, but I seriously have a hard time conceiving of any scenario where a landlord is supposed to be shown in a sympathetic light.
Fuck landlords.
Its satirical.
And I thought the tipping would make it obvious
Fuck landlords.
They should be little rocks.
Little rocks like: Having to pay a repair maybe once a decade
Well, I'm going to say that in some cases landlords are just the usual people who were a bit luckier. I don't think that applies to most of places with a high price for living and/or housing, but I have a friend that technically was a landlord while he finished his education and lived in dormitory he lended his newly finished apartment in a neighboring town.
What I'm trying to say, I think, is that not for everyone being a landlord is a lifestyle
Tbh the problem isn't the individuals who happen to be landlords, it's the system of landlordship where someone can own someone else's home and make profit off of their lives. Just because you live and act within a system that doesn't make you the problem. You can be a massive anti-capitalist and still need the money to buy food.
