Sometimes it feels like the only language someone speaks is money.

So speaking money, or the promise thereof, is a great way to make them listen. Like in this case from TikTok user @t_blatt:

“When your apartment ignores your maintenance requests to fix the treadmills…” reads the caption.

“…so you pretend to be a potential client and schedule a tour to ask what their plan is.”

Very sneaky, indeed.

Terminology can be pretty tricky.

You could always take a different route.

Public pressure does a lot.

“Luxury” is a relative term, I suppose.

Personally I’d use the broken treadmill as an everlasting excuse to not work out, but that’s just me.
