HOMELESS Staples employee lives in "crack motel"

Wagie lament

Meanwhile I'm paying $80+ a paycheck for “benefits” I couldn't afford the deductible for because I'm homeless and would rather maybe food or the wildly expensive crack motel I'm forced to stay in because it's close enough to walk to work and back.

Sounds bad. What the heck happened, champ? I'll break down his wall of text:

Lol unexpected but here goes. I'm management at a business supply store and I make $17/h while working 50-55 hours a week.

He's talking about Staples. When's the last time anyone has stepped in there?

So since I can't afford an obnoxiously small 500sqft 2 bedroom apartment for $1000-$1300/m I spend (usually) just under $1800 for this crack motel that's perpetually moist, loud, and rundown. EXCEPT I live in a college town with no car so our football games are back on so just for yesterday alone I was price gouged $280+ because quote “I can”. So I have recently had about $20 to get me thru the week.

Let me try to understand: this man does not have a car so he would prefer to live in a motel within walking distance. Motel rooms aren't much bigger; seriously I do not understand his logic at all

“Why haven't you used our store share fund?” Probably because they basically told me to go frick myself twice already. What am I gonna do? Find a better paying job? Not around here. Move out of the city? I have no car and refuse to walk on the side of the interstate for miles on end (which I'd assume is illegal anyway and for a brown man in this shit hole of a C*NTtry I'd like to stay away from police) to get to the job that clearly hates the people that work there.

Poor man. Before you chuds get uppity: if you haven't caught on yet, he likes to make excuses for everything so invoking his race card is just eyerolling He's Irish/Mexican by the way

Plus they still WANT not NEED you to make 3 TIMES the rent. THEY ARE EXPECTING PEOPLE WHO MAKE LAWYER MONEY TO WANT TO LIVE THERE.

Forgot about that rule I can sympathize with him here...well, it isn't much of a rule. I wonder if something else is afoot

Again…. I'm not asking for the fricking world, just a tiny butt apartment I could call my “own”. Thanks for coming to my shitty rant lol at least feels good to get it out. I appreciate your time.

Sidenote: “how are you homeless if you're employed?” Was that an actual question? Or a little sass? Because honestly I see it either way lol

No comment. Maybe he wishes he has that Hotwheels money right about now?

More comments

How long has he been in this situation? Not long from what I can tell; the first mention of homelessness was a couple months ago and older posts show pictures from what appears to be a garage. In this post, he is referring to himself and others; I could only find a mention of a future wife a couple years ago, which leads me to believe they moved in together at some point.

On that first mention of homelessness:

Thanks to the lazy slumlords, me making a measly $2,800/m isn't nearly enough to rent a 500sqft two bedroom apartment. Just curious exactly how fricked I am.

Yeah you're fricked. I doubt your income is the issue. Have you ever had a license? Bank account and credit??

These are all good questions

More on the woman:

Great job my man! Kind of in the same boat as you! My girlfriend and I have been together for a year and a half and we're best friends for four years before I had the opportunity/balls to ask her out. We'd be married by now but COVID hit us pretty hard. (Just what it's done, not us catching it) working on getting back to normal and been looking for a house as well! I just think it's pretty cool how similar we are currently. I've never had a dad, but I'd write you a card too. I'm sure you deserve it friend. Continue kicking butt every day. You got this.

Did you notice something? He's a huge stoner

Analysis

• Moved in with his gf at some point

• Is 29 years old and seems predisposed to work wagie jobs (previously at Family Dollar) (more rage ]

• Split up a few months ago and moved out

• Trying to scrape by, using methods like ordering DoorDash

I think he is on the east coast and the county he lives in starts with a "P". He mentions Wawa in one comment, which appears to be a east coast chain, which leaves only six some states he could be in. Plus, he probably lives near a college. Why can't people redact private information properly?

Not very much is interesting about him in his other posts; just typical reddit-tier opinions.
