Request ULPT Request: political mail

43 Upvotes

My mother collects my mail for me (she doesn't open it, just keeps it in a pile for me to gather when I can) lately it has been ads from the Democratic party. My mother is very right wing/pretend hippy, and she knows I do not share the same views at all. She would make comments whenever I collect my stuff, "I wouldn't vote for them if it were me", "they are corrupt" blah blah blah. Whatever. BUT I think it would be funny to tick her off a bit. It gives her something to do. What should I subscribe to if I wanted to tick her off whenever she gets the mail? Thank you!

For context, I'm the DPOA of an unoccupied home and have had unknown cars parking in the driveway despite no parking signs. Issue being that I have no idea whose car they are and that it completely blocks my ability to access half of the property bo of the way the driveway sits. I know I could pay to have them towed but looking for options that would more make it less attractive to park there... or any other wonderful ideas

ULPT Request: Raising Grades in College with only a month left

2 Upvotes

I've been extremely burnt out from college taking a major I absolutely hate. I'm in my senior year and I'm just trying to push through at this point, but can barely motivate myself to even try. I have about a month left in this semester and have really bad grades. Ethical or not, what can I do to at least get a passing grade?

ULPT Request: Rental property pool/spa heating workaround

2 Upvotes

I’m staying in a rental property that charges extra to heat the spa/pool. There is an app which controls the hot tub temp installed on an iPad which I do not have the PIN to. Is there any way to bypass the app and manually turn the heat on? The app is called iAquaLink.

Request ULPT Request, how can I booby trap a package for constant package thieves?

40 Upvotes

Hey guys, gals, and everyone in between. My apartment complex has an awful package concierge and even worse delivery drivers. If there isn’t a concierge spot open, they leave the packages on the floor in the mail room. Not even a locked mail room, anyone could walk in off the street and get in. They don’t even try and bring the package to the doors. My apartment managers have been no help.

My girlfriend has had her second package stolen now. She’s sensitive and feels violated, and I’m fucking pissed. Twice now they were boxes that Amazon threw a label on and delivered. So they were very plain about what was inside.

How do I get back at the thieves? My idea was to springload a bunch of shit so that when it’s opened it sprays out. I also have a cat and a litterbox, so there’s that.

I don’t want to actually hurt this person (to avoid legal issues) but I want them to suffer.

Any other tricks to track/record them would be great. Mail room is too far for me to set up a Wi-Fi camera.

Degens of Reddit, help me avenge my girlfriend.

Food & Drinks ULPT: Bringing in outside food/drinks to restricted venues, parks etc. Food items in individual Ziploks usually will be allowed in no questions asked if you say they're for dietary needs of anyone in your party.

26 Upvotes

Was told this by a really cool amusement park security at a very large park company. Given how said company parks are run, he was probably underpaid, didn't give a shit and was telling me as we were trying to smuggle in non-overpriced food.

Makes sense and it's never not worked yet. They can't even ask what restrictions because it's healthcare info and also none of their business.

And also, I wasn’t being an asshole at all about him questioning my smuggled food. Treat them as people, be pleasant and your mileage will soar. Hasn’t not worked for me yet.

ULPT: Generating a passive income

5 Upvotes

ULPT: There's loads of people online promoting things like forex trading and buying courses to learn how to make money online but l've always been a bit concerned about these. I'm interested if there is any safe and easy to understand ways to make money, things like trading are hard to grasp and come with a lot of risk when starting out and inexperienced. Is there anything's online which you can do to generate a passive income, I've had a go at things like drop-shipping before but felt it wasn't passive and required a lot more from me than I was wanting to invest in it. I'm working full time and interested in something which generates income by itself and requires no real input from myself on a routine basis? Any suggestions?

113 Upvotes

I live above a busy bodega. There are often people chillin outside, and definitely a few people selling drugs (same expensive car, fully tinted windows, no plates every day)

They blast music and are really loud. It can be hard to sleep. What can I do to dissuade them from hanging out right next to my bedroom window without getting myself into trouble?

So i'm graduating this summer, but i'm a late bloomer, i'll be 28 when i graduate. I worked a few odd short jobs unrelated to my degree before and during university but i can't provide any proof that i did.

How do i justify graduating at 28, when my competitors for the job would be like 22-23?

Home & Garden ULPT: Apartment Manager Making My Life Hell

8 Upvotes

A very, very long story short. I (39/F) have been renting the same apartment for going on 4 years. The central air has never worked, because the unit is in an enclosed room on the roof. I’ve been assured it’s getting fixed “this year!” every year. During the coldest weather we’ve experienced in 6 years, she approved shutting off the gas to my building for 23 days for maintenance, while offering to put us up in a motel which is a known drug den. Now, she’s decided that notice to enter the apartments isn’t necessary as long as she knocks. I’ve already yelled at her and I can’t afford breaking the lease and moving expenses right now, but I won’t be resigning my lease, any ULPTs for this maddening situation?
