You can really fuck with someone with a motion sensor camera if you have enough patience. Walk up and stare at it in the middle of the night. After it hasn't sensed movement for a while, back away slowly. If you're slow and lucky enough you can do it without triggering the camera again, making it seemed like you just disappeared. Do this on random nights and act like you don't notice the camera during the day.
@@catbatrat1760 a motion sensor camera reacts to movement, and starts filming when something moves in front of it. Once nothing is moving in front of it anymore it stops filming again
As someone living in the EU, the camera one is absolutely wild to me. I understand why someone would want to install cameras to watch over their property or animals, but people's right to their privacy should come first, no question about it.
I'm wondering if it's a webcam on a pet feeder, because there's loads of those sorts of pet products available now. Meant so you can check in on them from work/wherever and monitor their eating. That's the only kind of camera in a shared space I could let off not thinking to tell people about BEFORE you installed it. But even then, it's still best practice to let people know first, and/or have it set up in a way that doesn't track your house mates as much/more than your pets.
@@Phantom-kc9ly This is illegal in places in the US, I don't know if it would be illegal in the whole US - state laws vary. Lmao. I know that where I live in Europe it is illegal to record someone without their permission and it is also against GDPR. Lmao.
Being pissed someone stepped on a dog bed with bare feet while your dog probably spend 50% of their time on the dog bed licking their privates is crazy. lol
to be clear, in states like california, it's usually only illegal to film someone without their permission IF THERE'S A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY. In this case it would definitely be illegal, but a lot of people seem to think it's illegal to film someone without their consent in say, a McDonalds. If you're in a public space it's usually fair game.
Worth to note that audio recordings are more often illegal than video recordings. So it may be that in some state or city you can install a camera in your kitchen, as long as it doesn't record audio. But I am not a lawyer. What I hate that on the internet it is treated like "common sense" that you can record people in public places - it is not like that in huge parts of the world. In the EU it is against GDPR and it is also illegal in most countries so you can not record people in public without their permission.
@@Kitteso isn't it (for EU/GDPR) without their knowledge rather than permission? E.g. security cameras in shops/car parks. The public are informed that they are being recorded for security purposes but permission is "assumed" rather than asked for. (I'm UK which, yes, is no longer in the EU we still follow GDPR and even after leaving the EU laws n such haven't changed all that much to the best of my knowledge).
@@MaxRide1 depends. It's two different things you're referring to. Security cameras in shops are put up by the person/entity that owns the place. The owner needs to inform people that come into their space they're being recorded. (Aka normal person A going into a shop needs to know that Shopowner B has them on camera. But B owns the shop and is therefore allowed to film). In contrast, you can't shove a phone in someone's face and record them on a public street, that would need PERMISSION. (Aka Karen A can not film normal Person C on the subway just because Karen got offended over whatever and wants to. That's illegal). So it's with knowledge if the space belongs to you, and with permission if it doesn't. Furthermore even if it does belong to you and you're informing people that you film them, you still have to abide by further DSGVO laws (for example how long you're allowed to keep the footage.)
I don't know if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy from your housemates in a common area of the house you both live in. It seems like the camera in the kitchen would be legal, but it would be illegal to put it in, say, the bathroom or your bedroom; or, to show the footage to someone who doesn't also live there.
I had lots of those "weird dudes who ask for 'favors'" roommates/renters...there's a type of person that seeks out vulnerable young women who need a place to go, and they're a lot more common than anyone would like to believe, unfortunately.
Couldn't agree more. Never experienced it myself (tho I did have a flatmate of mine stalk me before I came out as trans (nb)) but I have countless stories from women in my life who have had to just put up with these men because they couldn't do anything about them. Genuinely so upsetting to think about
First time I ever tried to live independently, I rented a basement from an older man who would constantly corner me and talk about his perverted and violent fantasies. I was never allowed to have the door closed because he claimed his cat needed to have access to the downstairs. I spent three weeks there, constantly terrified that something would happen to me, before my dad came over and loaded all my stuff into his truck, said we wouldn't be "doing business" with him anymore. He swindled another $300 off me as an "inconvenience fee" for moving out with no warning.
If you're going to ban your roommate from using "your fridge," then your fridge needs to not be in the kitchen refrigerator space... Because that's space that someone else could use for THEIR fridge. You're forcing them to dedicate space to refrigeration in their own room while you get that extra storage space. If I can't use the machines in the laundry room, can I subtract its square footage from my rent?
My last boss would text me asking for sexual favors. He would straight up text me things like “will you sleep with me for $300?”. He didn’t even try to be subtle. So I absolutely believe that the guy renting his room out did ask that gal for sexual favors unfortunately. Navigating the world as a woman can be extremely challenging at times.
The one with her bf secretly living with her is actually typically a lease violation to have guests stay for an extended amount of time without them applying and being added to the lease. However, long depends on the agreement, but I've seen as little of 3 days to a max of a week. Between a week and a week and a month usually have to notify management at least.
I think that's typically because if he stays there long enough the court would consider him to be living there and so then would need to go through eviction proceedings to get rid of him and since he never signed a lease... I'd definitely tell the landlord about it on the way out.

"You teach people how to treat you" wow i needed to hear that. Thank you Daniel, Ive always been the doormat type who then passive-aggressively rebels/revenges but had a tough time changing that because i was always so averse to stepping on any toes with confrontation.
My college roommate this past year was constantly hanging out in our room naked. And this is a college dorm so it’s literally all one room for both of our beds and desks and everything else. She would take a shower and then just not put clothes on afterwards and just walk around the room like that for like an hour at a time. She couldn’t understand me and I couldn’t understand her so we just never spoke to each other when not absolutely necessary. When I did speak to her it was like speaking to a brick wall. No acknowledgment that she was listening or understood. I never learned how to pronounce her name because she never introduced herself. I introduced myself at the beginning of the year and she just went “mm.” At the end of the year she stopped sleeping in her bed and instead set up an air mattress which took up a lot of our floor space and blocked my closet. I don’t know why.
Is she German? I had a German friend that did this. And I lived in Germany and they treat nudity differently over there. Which is fine for them but ya know, not everyone wants to see them naked.
Cheers to my mental illness (in its most serious form) kicking in while I'm with my partner, and they have to deal with me. Because, in my case, living with MY mum would make my mental illness worth and would lead to some quality matricide.
Yeah it's rough. :( The added weight from believing society's judgement on you as some cheeto finger slacker makes it even worse. When I worked filming events and promos for music groups, I was always embarrassed to have someone see where I lived. Two people did comment on me living with my parents on separate occasions, but thankfully they were both immigrants from countries where it's more normal for families to live together as adults.
Hey Daniel! I wanted to explain tone indicators and why they’re used because you got a bit confused! They are mostly used by autistic people like myself! We need them because we extremely struggle with tone already that over text it is impossible. We will take “obvious” things very seriously sometimes. Another thing is a lot of us need to tone tag our *own* messages, because we struggle with using the wrong tone. So to make our messages make sense to us and the words, we find comfort in tone indicators. (Of course I don’t speak for all autistic people, some of us hate tone indicators. But yeah! That’s why they’re mostly used!) /npa (not passive aggressive) :D
I think the issue is with /s meaning sarcastic. If a person doesn't know that, it's just random symbols that will confuse them. If I feel the need, I just follow the sentence with (sarcasm) or (I'm being sarcastic).
@@NoiseDay yeah fair! /sar is probably a better use for sarcastic! I personally add a meaning of the tone indicator after if I’m not sure if someone knows it, like I did with the original comment!
@@runnyeggsricky I think most of their bad takes and episodes have happened with guests on, they won't oppose the opinions of guests even when they are god awful lol, luckily we've only had cast on recently
It’s really funny, cause in most states require both parties consent before you can record without being active in the activity your recording. If you’re recording people while you’re away, its illegal.
A good start to the video. Communication. My family can't communicate at all. Every argument ever is caused by lack of communication or just arguing and name calling. I'm the youngest in my immediate family yet I feel like I'm surrounded by toddlers. Of course I've got similar tendencies like my family since it's.. well, my family, but I try every time to talk in a civil manner, but whenever I do they either yell over me, say I'm not allowed to talk because I'm still a kid or just leave the room/house. Moral of the comment: communication is important. We learn a language to speak it so we need to use it.

Yeah I'd flip out on the roommate installing a camera, how would they know what it's being used for? It could be some live feed to some creepy-a** dark web site or something. Get out. GET OUT! GEEEEEET OOOOOOOOUT!!!!!!!!
Fr!! It would cause me such serious paranoia! It would make me feel like i constantly have eyes on me because shes clearly watching the footage even without real reason to (like maybe something was stolen and needs to check the footage, or something bad happened in the common area and has the evidence on there)
My grandma is 70+ years old. When i visit i try to help her out with chores as much as possible. If she ate something and i wasn't there to do dishes, she does them herself. She never leaves a mess after herself even after i tell her to leave them. That roommate is crazy.
I blocked my new roommate's number because she sent me multiple nasty texts while I was at work because I did things like... 1) put my toothbrush in a toothbrush holder in the "wrong" bathroom and 2) kept my face lotion on the little set of shelves I've had in that bathroom before she moved in. It was the last straw of repeated dumb inane shit like this with heaps of control issues coming from her lmao. I was like... we're both in our 30's and you really need to control the way I store bathroom supplies in a bathroom shelf by berating me during regular working hours?? Like. It was like this before you moved in!!! And have also failed to agree to any chore schedule with me so we've fairly divided up the work like adults? She wouldn't stop texting/disrupting me and wasn't going to back down so I blocked her so I could get work done. She's younger than me and has pretty much only ever lived with her parents and grandparents, and it SHOWS. After blocking her, I also had an incident where I placed a small, mini wastebasket in the living room to collect receipts and other small non-food trash. She hid my trash can in the house where I couldn't find it. I brought out a second, less visually appealing mini can the next day. That one was also taken. Absolutely insane behavior, if I tried to keep things clean she would steal my things. I move out on the 1st, so ready to be free of her.
where the hell does she get the audacity?? you lived there first and you're doing nothing unreasonable. what does she gain from ordering you about in your own home and throwing tantrums over you...idk, just living there??? I'd say if you want to hit her where it hurts you should find a way to contact her family and tell on her for being such a spoiled brat 🤡🤡 then again, she does sound legitimately ill and in need of actual help. then again, going by the entitlement and control issues the trauma probably came from her family life, and she's now acting out from that by lashing out at you. you're not her live-in therapist/punching bag, traumatise her back 👏👏👏
I mean a camera in a personal room if you live with strangers is perfectly fine. If I were forced to live with strangers my door would be on a fucking chain and padlock.
im disabled, 31, and live with my parents. i pay my mom to do my dishes, im so grateful to her. i would never want someone to do my dishes without getting paid for it
Have you always been disabled? If so, why pay your mother to take care of you? If you’re disabled it’s her job to take care of you for free. My older brother is severely autistic and can’t speak or care for himself so I’m forced to take care of him all of the time instead of getting a job and starting my life (I’m 20 years old) and I know it’s my mother’s responsibility to care for him, but she’s at work
One of my old roommates stole several expensive items from every single person in the house (5 people in total), pawned all of the stuff for money because our electric bill was late (the main roommate forgot to pay the power bill) to pay the bill so he could play dark souls 3. The main roomie came home to find not only his gaming consoles missing, but my $3000 pc, monitors, and heirloom earrings, and my ex boyfriends tv, vape mod, and gaming consoles missing. We were able to track down most of the items via serial numbers and pictures of the items (I was smart and took pictures of everything I owned of value because I don’t trust people.) Roomie who stole went to jail as we all pressed charges, his girlfriend ended up selling most of her possessions to make his bail as neither of them were working/had any money. Needless to say the main roomie kicked them out.
The bf living with her roommate is so WILD. How possible do we think it is that this roommate was trying to pass you off as a visitor to the boyfriend and pretending that the flat was the two of theirs, so that he paid half the rent and you paid the other?
Okay once the landlord offered to let her just move to a different apartment and she said "no", now I think she's just addicted to the adrenaline of scrapping with this person and I wash my hands of concern over whatever happens at that point. It's pretty obvious that before the camera thing you'd both already gotten on each other's very last nerve and every tiny annoyance made you want to nuke each other from orbit, so if the opportunity to not have to cohabitate with that person presents itself you take it unless you're afraid of what your life will be without the drama.
I can't tell where my parents keep cameras. One time my dad said "why lock your door when you come into our room while we're away?" #1: They keep toilet paper in their bathroom for some dumb reason #2: I have been recorded either fully of half-naked based on this premise They f*king suck
I noticed this a previous time when you were talking about a scenario of one person filming another secretly. You're far too nonchalant about it. There's no excuse for secretly filming someone, sending them a passive-aggressive text and hoping they understand that means you've been filming them and taking it as consent if they don't complain is not well-adjusted behaviour - even though I believe that's not even the scenario and you're trying too hard to justify them. NEVER put up a camera in a private space without the prior consent via face to face meeting with everyone who has constant access to that private space, whether it's your home or common property.
I feel like 14:40 would be a unique situation where restating what was heard might not be hearsay because A- it's an active argument directly addressing the crime, and the accused is presumably involved in that argument to boot and B- the argument isn't being directed at op which I think weirdly gives it more legitimacy because it's not relying on a spread rumor at face value. They'd still only be reporting what they directly observed
If someone informed me I was now babysitting, or doing anything I didn't agree to, I absolutely wouldn't have changed my plans. If it's $50, or $500, I'm leaving and keeping my plans.
Oh this hit a nerve. My awful roommate was the RA for our dorm block and would absolutely go OFF on me and our other roommates for leaving dishes in the sink/on the counter (counter ones were clean and drying) for pretty much any amount of time, but she would leave her stuff until she was out of dishes and had to wash things. On top of this, she would start cooking and just leave the apartment with all her sh** still out. (She also made food directly on the counters that she DID NOT CLEAN and would frequently sit on). I don't know how many times I came in and tripped over the door on the dishwasher cause she would leave it open. And to top it all off, one of our roommates had some super severe food allergies and this girl would use our utensils without asking and wouldn't properly clean after making food with an allergen.
as for the hidden camera - i have a pretty intense lifelong fear (ig “paranoia” is a better word for it since i know it’s ridiculous) of being watched through hidden cameras, so this would be insanely traumatic for me. when i was a kid, i would constantly look in the upper corners (right under the ceiling i mean) of the bathroom, my bedroom, and even non-private areas like the living room. i’ve gotten better now that i’m older, but i still sometimes feel the need to hide for no good reason because ‘what if someone is watching - _judging_ - me right now?’ yes, it’s completely irrational, but if someone did something to make that fear rational, i don’t think i would ever get over it. TL;DR: that roommate is especially terrifying to me and also fuck her and her ageist nonsense :D
"Why is every roommate story the worst one i have seen....*today* " You could practically see the flashbacks playing in his mind as he corrected himself 😅
I’m using a dremel on glass. I heard “man made fudge” and squiggled my dremel in this whacky, “toddler with a crayon” shape, all over my project. It was worth the laugh 😂
I'm autistic and need tonal markers. They help. But acronyms are not my strong suit so I often have to look up some tone tags to understand them better.
I was once a bad roommate. I was living with some friends, I made sure to clean up after myself and the apartment. However, one of our roommates kept a good amount of their games and movies in the main room of the apartment. Sometimes I asked, but other times I would just grab a game or movie from his shelf in the main room and play it. I also always paid my half and such on time and even ahead of time! They had asked me to stop or ask, and I laughed em off. Finally they got tired of it, and and told me I had till the end of the month to leave. I was a bit of a jerk, that was a long time ago, and I have learned to be better and try to be better.
I'm roomates with my brother and sister in law, and they are the worst at communication. They stay home playing games and earning barely enough to get by. Everytime theres a problem, they don't tell me and so they eventually blow up. And then they don't listen when i suggest a better way that benefits ALL of us. I work all day, most days, and don't have the flexibility they have for housework. I need to get out of here 😞
That’s the problem with tone indicators, if you don’t know them, it does the exact opposite of what they’re meant to do Bro coulda just like “What a shocker (sarcasm)”
I have cameras in my house. Focused on the kitchen, the stairs to the first floor and the porches. But for a good reason. My sister had a stroke last year and is prone to falls and my grandfather is 93 and has some health problems. Thanks to the kitchen camera I have been able to see my sister fell a couple times and was able to get her easily and quickly.
At 21, I moved to Washington state from California with a friend I had since junior high. Once I got there, it went sideways quick. The first problem was when I stayed out with new coworkers, again at 21, to get to know them. I cane home at midnight to her freaking the fuck out. She had called my mom and dad and all of our friends back home to tell them I went missing. Because instead of coming home at 10, I came home at midnight. 😮 I had to call everyone and tell them what actually happened. I then got the flu and she asked me to continue paying rent while I stayed elsewhere because she didn't want to get sick. When I told her that if I was living somewhere else, that's where I'd pay rent, she got pissed. I later found out that another of our friends had moved in with her and left in the middle of the night and never talked to her again. Never knew why but assumed she had the same experience as me. And, this is a small one, but she worked a block from me and refused to give me rides with her so I could walk to work from there. She never one offered, so i asked. She acted like I was asking for her fucking kidney. So i just walked in the snow instead. Btw, she begged me to move in with her.
First story: nah man, if someone told me "hey are you okay with cameras in kitchen, it's just for a dog😊" I would say "NO WHAT ARE YOU KIDDING ME". Literally who the hell would agree to be watched in their own damn house like a criminal? If you don't trust so much around your dog, why are you even living with me?
I once had a roommate so lazy he started getting door dash 15+ times a month so he didn't have to do dishes then complained he was poor and it was somehow our fault. Convinced his coworkers we made him pay for everything and that he never had money right after he bought one of the best VR headsets on the market and multiple baystations for full body tracking.
Different living dynamics exist within different households. I’ve had roommates before. The rule is, don’t leave your private room, unless you’re ready to be seen. This means you’re: -1. Dressed & preferably clean. -2. Social battery is ready for whatever. Common areas may be in your home, but unless you live alone or just with your s/o, common areas are not for privacy. The only contention I have about cams are that everyone knows and no one can hear anyone in their private rooms from the cam feed.
My old landlord had cameras in our common areas, including the kitchen and outside the bathrooms. She argued it was technically legal because she was treating our rooms like individual apartments, but that's so not how it works. I got out of there asap. You have no idea how creepy it is, even just in the kitchen, to know you're being watched. You just can't relax outside your own room.
I've been knitting while listening to this video and the "man made fudge" story made me laugh-cry while I struggled to keep count. 10/10 for comedic delivery on an otherwise horrific account
the way his reaction is stronger with a controlling roommate than one who LITERALLY PUT UP A CAMERA??? like even if it's a shared living space, wtf? maybe it's just cuz im european but that one is so crazy
Yeah it’s nuts. It’s not like an American thing. This isn’t in any way common. Also I could be wrong, but judging how someone feels about a subject because their reaction is stronger with another story doesn’t necessarily mean much unless we assume it does. Maybe I’m just thinking of the UK, but doesn’t Europe have governmental CCTV all over the place. Cause that’s crazy to me as well. But my ultimate point is I’m not sure why people keep thinking it’s culture. It’s not common, and individuals have different opinions on it.
The craziest bad roommate story I heard was the guy who kept improperly-shielded radioactive materials in his room, thereby exposing everyone in the household to potentially harmful levels of radiation. OP only realized it was happening because they got a random gift of a used radon detector someone wanted to get rid of.

@@MaxRide1 depends. It's two different things you're referring to. Security cameras in shops are put up by the person/entity that owns the place. The owner needs to inform people that come into their space they're being recorded.
(Aka normal person A going into a shop needs to know that Shopowner B has them on camera. But B owns the shop and is therefore allowed to film).
In contrast, you can't shove a phone in someone's face and record them on a public street, that would need PERMISSION.
(Aka Karen A can not film normal Person C on the subway just because Karen got offended over whatever and wants to. That's illegal).
So it's with knowledge if the space belongs to you, and with permission if it doesn't.
Furthermore even if it does belong to you and you're informing people that you film them, you still have to abide by further DSGVO laws (for example how long you're allowed to keep the footage.)
I don't know if you have a reasonable expectation of privacy from your housemates in a common area of the house you both live in. It seems like the camera in the kitchen would be legal, but it would be illegal to put it in, say, the bathroom or your bedroom; or, to show the footage to someone who doesn't also live there.
@@Scarlett.Granger quick question: What do GDPR and DSGVO mean? I'm not from the UK or EU, so I'm not familiar with those abbreviations.
I had lots of those "weird dudes who ask for 'favors'" roommates/renters...there's a type of person that seeks out vulnerable young women who need a place to go, and they're a lot more common than anyone would like to believe, unfortunately.
Couldn't agree more. Never experienced it myself (tho I did have a flatmate of mine stalk me before I came out as trans (nb)) but I have countless stories from women in my life who have had to just put up with these men because they couldn't do anything about them. Genuinely so upsetting to think about
yeah I have thankfully never been in such a vulnerable state but I know people who have and also have similar stories
Always freaks me out to see how common creeps are agh
Saw an ad for a fully furnished apartment but it specifically said "female students *age 18-29* only"
YIKES
BIG YIKES
Definitely reported that
First time I ever tried to live independently, I rented a basement from an older man who would constantly corner me and talk about his perverted and violent fantasies. I was never allowed to have the door closed because he claimed his cat needed to have access to the downstairs. I spent three weeks there, constantly terrified that something would happen to me, before my dad came over and loaded all my stuff into his truck, said we wouldn't be "doing business" with him anymore. He swindled another $300 off me as an "inconvenience fee" for moving out with no warning.
If you're going to ban your roommate from using "your fridge," then your fridge needs to not be in the kitchen refrigerator space... Because that's space that someone else could use for THEIR fridge. You're forcing them to dedicate space to refrigeration in their own room while you get that extra storage space. If I can't use the machines in the laundry room, can I subtract its square footage from my rent?
Hearsay is when you say what you heard someone say
and libel is when you lie on a bible
So second, or third hand information, rather than direct proof or fact
An out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted.
My last boss would text me asking for sexual favors. He would straight up text me things like “will you sleep with me for $300?”. He didn’t even try to be subtle. So I absolutely believe that the guy renting his room out did ask that gal for sexual favors unfortunately. Navigating the world as a woman can be extremely challenging at times.
The one with her bf secretly living with her is actually typically a lease violation to have guests stay for an extended amount of time without them applying and being added to the lease. However, long depends on the agreement, but I've seen as little of 3 days to a max of a week. Between a week and a week and a month usually have to notify management at least.
I think that's typically because if he stays there long enough the court would consider him to be living there and so then would need to go through eviction proceedings to get rid of him and since he never signed a lease... I'd definitely tell the landlord about it on the way out.
Usually I've seen the limit be 2 weeks, but yes.

Tone indicators are great when used correctly (genuine). Its a good thing everyone in the world knows exactly how they should be used /s
fr i hate when people shorten /sarc and /srs to just /s because those two are nearly polar opposites and yet i won't be able to tell which one the commenter meant 😭
@@thelocalshoop yeah people using them wrongly makes it the most confusing. Otherwise it's easy to just look up if you don't know. Doesn't help looking it up if it's being used incorrectly
I think you using the wrong tone indicator really contradicts your statement 💀 /hj
@@JasminMiettunen what is wrong?
@@thelocalshoopI'm pretty sure /s has always been sarcastic and /srs serious. That's what I always saw when they first became common. I don't understand why everyone is being catty about it in the replies.
For the camera, I think that the roommate should have informed the others, I also think that if it is in a common area, all of the roommates should have access to the video feed.
Not just informed. But she should have obtained permission for sure.
Story 2: jfc. I hate this attitude from older people that younger people are meant to serve them or are their property.
Me too. As the eldest child in my family, I’ve always heard people complaining about how their oldest sibling does this exact thing, so I went to great lengths to avoid doing it myself. Basically every negative older sibling stereotype I try to avoid lol

"You teach people how to treat you" wow i needed to hear that. Thank you Daniel, Ive always been the doormat type who then passive-aggressively rebels/revenges but had a tough time changing that because i was always so averse to stepping on any toes with confrontation.
My college roommate this past year was constantly hanging out in our room naked. And this is a college dorm so it’s literally all one room for both of our beds and desks and everything else. She would take a shower and then just not put clothes on afterwards and just walk around the room like that for like an hour at a time.
She couldn’t understand me and I couldn’t understand her so we just never spoke to each other when not absolutely necessary. When I did speak to her it was like speaking to a brick wall. No acknowledgment that she was listening or understood. I never learned how to pronounce her name because she never introduced herself. I introduced myself at the beginning of the year and she just went “mm.”
At the end of the year she stopped sleeping in her bed and instead set up an air mattress which took up a lot of our floor space and blocked my closet. I don’t know why.
Is she German? I had a German friend that did this. And I lived in Germany and they treat nudity differently over there. Which is fine for them but ya know, not everyone wants to see them naked.
Well I am 27 and still live with my mom. So yknow. Thanks mental illnesses and financial instability.
Cheers to my mental illness (in its most serious form) kicking in while I'm with my partner, and they have to deal with me.
Because, in my case, living with MY mum would make my mental illness worth and would lead to some quality matricide.
Lol
Same, dude. I stand in solidarity
Yeah it's rough. :( The added weight from believing society's judgement on you as some cheeto finger slacker makes it even worse. When I worked filming events and promos for music groups, I was always embarrassed to have someone see where I lived. Two people did comment on me living with my parents on separate occasions, but thankfully they were both immigrants from countries where it's more normal for families to live together as adults.

Hey Daniel! I wanted to explain tone indicators and why they’re used because you got a bit confused!
They are mostly used by autistic people like myself! We need them because we extremely struggle with tone already that over text it is impossible. We will take “obvious” things very seriously sometimes.
Another thing is a lot of us need to tone tag our *own* messages, because we struggle with using the wrong tone. So to make our messages make sense to us and the words, we find comfort in tone indicators.
(Of course I don’t speak for all autistic people, some of us hate tone indicators. But yeah! That’s why they’re mostly used!) /npa (not passive aggressive) :D
This is super helpful! I didn't consider that!
I think the issue is with /s meaning sarcastic. If a person doesn't know that, it's just random symbols that will confuse them. If I feel the need, I just follow the sentence with (sarcasm) or (I'm being sarcastic).
@@NoiseDay yeah fair! /sar is probably a better use for sarcastic! I personally add a meaning of the tone indicator after if I’m not sure if someone knows it, like I did with the original comment!
@@thrasherplus no problem! Glad to help! :D
@@Yassified_Shoto_Todoroki_That’s super helpful. I can get so confused at what some mean especially when people use multiple in a row.

As a pet sitter... $50 for 5 days is not worth the time in ANY capacity. You'd be more accurate at $200.
It’s really funny, cause in most states require both parties consent before you can record without being active in the activity your recording. If you’re recording people while you’re away, its illegal.
A good start to the video. Communication. My family can't communicate at all. Every argument ever is caused by lack of communication or just arguing and name calling. I'm the youngest in my immediate family yet I feel like I'm surrounded by toddlers. Of course I've got similar tendencies like my family since it's.. well, my family, but I try every time to talk in a civil manner, but whenever I do they either yell over me, say I'm not allowed to talk because I'm still a kid or just leave the room/house.
Moral of the comment: communication is important. We learn a language to speak it so we need to use it.

Yeah I'd flip out on the roommate installing a camera, how would they know what it's being used for? It could be some live feed to some creepy-a** dark web site or something. Get out. GET OUT! GEEEEEET OOOOOOOOUT!!!!!!!!
Fr!! It would cause me such serious paranoia! It would make me feel like i constantly have eyes on me because shes clearly watching the footage even without real reason to (like maybe something was stolen and needs to check the footage, or something bad happened in the common area and has the evidence on there)
My grandma is 70+ years old. When i visit i try to help her out with chores as much as possible. If she ate something and i wasn't there to do dishes, she does them herself. She never leaves a mess after herself even after i tell her to leave them. That roommate is crazy.
I blocked my new roommate's number because she sent me multiple nasty texts while I was at work because I did things like... 1) put my toothbrush in a toothbrush holder in the "wrong" bathroom and 2) kept my face lotion on the little set of shelves I've had in that bathroom before she moved in. It was the last straw of repeated dumb inane shit like this with heaps of control issues coming from her lmao. I was like... we're both in our 30's and you really need to control the way I store bathroom supplies in a bathroom shelf by berating me during regular working hours?? Like. It was like this before you moved in!!! And have also failed to agree to any chore schedule with me so we've fairly divided up the work like adults? She wouldn't stop texting/disrupting me and wasn't going to back down so I blocked her so I could get work done. She's younger than me and has pretty much only ever lived with her parents and grandparents, and it SHOWS. After blocking her, I also had an incident where I placed a small, mini wastebasket in the living room to collect receipts and other small non-food trash. She hid my trash can in the house where I couldn't find it. I brought out a second, less visually appealing mini can the next day. That one was also taken. Absolutely insane behavior, if I tried to keep things clean she would steal my things. I move out on the 1st, so ready to be free of her.
where the hell does she get the audacity?? you lived there first and you're doing nothing unreasonable. what does she gain from ordering you about in your own home and throwing tantrums over you...idk, just living there??? I'd say if you want to hit her where it hurts you should find a way to contact her family and tell on her for being such a spoiled brat 🤡🤡
then again, she does sound legitimately ill and in need of actual help.
then again, going by the entitlement and control issues the trauma probably came from her family life, and she's now acting out from that by lashing out at you. you're not her live-in therapist/punching bag, traumatise her back 👏👏👏
Your comment is 7 months old at the time of my reply, I hope you moved into a nice new place and don’t have to deal with a roommate like that again!
I could understand if the roommate had the camera in their own room but not in a common area wth
I mean a camera in a personal room if you live with strangers is perfectly fine. If I were forced to live with strangers my door would be on a fucking chain and padlock.

Have you always been disabled? If so, why pay your mother to take care of you? If you’re disabled it’s her job to take care of you for free. My older brother is severely autistic and can’t speak or care for himself so I’m forced to take care of him all of the time instead of getting a job and starting my life (I’m 20 years old) and I know it’s my mother’s responsibility to care for him, but she’s at work
One of my old roommates stole several expensive items from every single person in the house (5 people in total), pawned all of the stuff for money because our electric bill was late (the main roommate forgot to pay the power bill) to pay the bill so he could play dark souls 3.
The main roomie came home to find not only his gaming consoles missing, but my $3000 pc, monitors, and heirloom earrings, and my ex boyfriends tv, vape mod, and gaming consoles missing. We were able to track down most of the items via serial numbers and pictures of the items (I was smart and took pictures of everything I owned of value because I don’t trust people.)
Roomie who stole went to jail as we all pressed charges, his girlfriend ended up selling most of her possessions to make his bail as neither of them were working/had any money. Needless to say the main roomie kicked them out.
The bf living with her roommate is so WILD. How possible do we think it is that this roommate was trying to pass you off as a visitor to the boyfriend and pretending that the flat was the two of theirs, so that he paid half the rent and you paid the other?
The idea of a camera in a common area is disturbing to me, especially if you don't even tell the other person.
Daniel's focus on punctuation is so funny 😂
as someone with ADHD that did a languages degree, I hard-relate to that habit 😂
1:39 tone indicators are supposed to /not/ confuse you. They are much more helpful than not using any.
Exactly, they’re especially helpful for people on the spectrum! I love Daniel but that part of the video always gets me annoyed
Okay once the landlord offered to let her just move to a different apartment and she said "no", now I think she's just addicted to the adrenaline of scrapping with this person and I wash my hands of concern over whatever happens at that point. It's pretty obvious that before the camera thing you'd both already gotten on each other's very last nerve and every tiny annoyance made you want to nuke each other from orbit, so if the opportunity to not have to cohabitate with that person presents itself you take it unless you're afraid of what your life will be without the drama.
I also produced a primal scream when I heard "waffling it down with your toes"
Genuinely would just sit and listen to Daniel give life advice forever. Man is wise
Love you Daniel!
And I'm glad you decided to end the video when you did. That's a rabbit hole I, and I imagine you, would rather not go down.
I never know when Daniel is going to bleep a swear or if he's just gonna say it
I can't tell where my parents keep cameras. One time my dad said "why lock your door when you come into our room while we're away?"
#1: They keep toilet paper in their bathroom for some dumb reason
#2: I have been recorded either fully of half-naked based on this premise

I like how daniel plus is chock full of therapeutic, conmunicative, and life advice.
I noticed this a previous time when you were talking about a scenario of one person filming another secretly. You're far too nonchalant about it. There's no excuse for secretly filming someone, sending them a passive-aggressive text and hoping they understand that means you've been filming them and taking it as consent if they don't complain is not well-adjusted behaviour - even though I believe that's not even the scenario and you're trying too hard to justify them.
NEVER put up a camera in a private space without the prior consent via face to face meeting with everyone who has constant access to that private space, whether it's your home or common property.
I don't think he was justifying it in the slightest.
I’m not sure he thinks differently than you. I’m not even sure where you’re getting that.
I don't have enough money in the bank. AND IM SICK OF IT!
I feel like 14:40 would be a unique situation where restating what was heard might not be hearsay because A- it's an active argument directly addressing the crime, and the accused is presumably involved in that argument to boot and B- the argument isn't being directed at op which I think weirdly gives it more legitimacy because it's not relying on a spread rumor at face value. They'd still only be reporting what they directly observed
If someone informed me I was now babysitting, or doing anything I didn't agree to, I absolutely wouldn't have changed my plans. If it's $50, or $500, I'm leaving and keeping my plans.

Oh this hit a nerve. My awful roommate was the RA for our dorm block and would absolutely go OFF on me and our other roommates for leaving dishes in the sink/on the counter (counter ones were clean and drying) for pretty much any amount of time, but she would leave her stuff until she was out of dishes and had to wash things. On top of this, she would start cooking and just leave the apartment with all her sh** still out. (She also made food directly on the counters that she DID NOT CLEAN and would frequently sit on). I don't know how many times I came in and tripped over the door on the dishwasher cause she would leave it open. And to top it all off, one of our roommates had some super severe food allergies and this girl would use our utensils without asking and wouldn't properly clean after making food with an allergen.

Knitting is an excellent hobby for all ages.
as for the hidden camera -
i have a pretty intense lifelong fear (ig “paranoia” is a better word for it since i know it’s ridiculous) of being watched through hidden cameras, so this would be insanely traumatic for me.
when i was a kid, i would constantly look in the upper corners (right under the ceiling i mean) of the bathroom, my bedroom, and even non-private areas like the living room. i’ve gotten better now that i’m older, but i still sometimes feel the need to hide for no good reason because ‘what if someone is watching - _judging_ - me right now?’
yes, it’s completely irrational, but if someone did something to make that fear rational, i don’t think i would ever get over it.
TL;DR: that roommate is especially terrifying to me and also fuck her and her ageist nonsense :D

I was once a bad roommate. I was living with some friends, I made sure to clean up after myself and the apartment. However, one of our roommates kept a good amount of their games and movies in the main room of the apartment. Sometimes I asked, but other times I would just grab a game or movie from his shelf in the main room and play it.
I also always paid my half and such on time and even ahead of time!
They had asked me to stop or ask, and I laughed em off. Finally they got tired of it, and and told me I had till the end of the month to leave.
I was a bit of a jerk, that was a long time ago, and I have learned to be better and try to be better.

I work all day, most days, and don't have the flexibility they have for housework. I need to get out of here 😞

At 21, I moved to Washington state from California with a friend I had since junior high. Once I got there, it went sideways quick. The first problem was when I stayed out with new coworkers, again at 21, to get to know them. I cane home at midnight to her freaking the fuck out. She had called my mom and dad and all of our friends back home to tell them I went missing. Because instead of coming home at 10, I came home at midnight. 😮 I had to call everyone and tell them what actually happened.
I then got the flu and she asked me to continue paying rent while I stayed elsewhere because she didn't want to get sick. When I told her that if I was living somewhere else, that's where I'd pay rent, she got pissed.
I later found out that another of our friends had moved in with her and left in the middle of the night and never talked to her again. Never knew why but assumed she had the same experience as me.
And, this is a small one, but she worked a block from me and refused to give me rides with her so I could walk to work from there. She never one offered, so i asked. She acted like I was asking for her fucking kidney. So i just walked in the snow instead. Btw, she begged me to move in with her.

Different living dynamics exist within different households.
I’ve had roommates before. The rule is, don’t leave your private room, unless you’re ready to be seen. This means you’re:
-1. Dressed & preferably clean.
-2. Social battery is ready for whatever.
Common areas may be in your home, but unless you live alone or just with your s/o, common areas are not for privacy. The only contention I have about cams are that everyone knows and no one can hear anyone in their private rooms from the cam feed.
My old landlord had cameras in our common areas, including the kitchen and outside the bathrooms. She argued it was technically legal because she was treating our rooms like individual apartments, but that's so not how it works. I got out of there asap. You have no idea how creepy it is, even just in the kitchen, to know you're being watched. You just can't relax outside your own room.

the way his reaction is stronger with a controlling roommate than one who LITERALLY PUT UP A CAMERA??? like even if it's a shared living space, wtf? maybe it's just cuz im european but that one is so crazy
Yeah it’s nuts. It’s not like an American thing. This isn’t in any way common. Also I could be wrong, but judging how someone feels about a subject because their reaction is stronger with another story doesn’t necessarily mean much unless we assume it does.
Maybe I’m just thinking of the UK, but doesn’t Europe have governmental CCTV all over the place. Cause that’s crazy to me as well. But my ultimate point is I’m not sure why people keep thinking it’s culture. It’s not common, and individuals have different opinions on it.
3:00 if she put it up to watch her dog, she would’ve let her know. She’s watching her.
