Speaker 1 (00:08):
We call them blogs. Caitlin's got One Go, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Dear blog.
Speaker 4 (00:11):
So I know we always love to ask etiquette questions
around here, and you guys are my sounding board for.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Such etiquette questions. Etiquette, Yeah, you guys are the classes people.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
I know. Everybody knows. We know yes, the right thing
to do, always.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yes, tipping, all the things.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
So I wanted to ask what the etiquette is on
if someone leaves something at your house? How long until
it becomes yours? How many attempts until it becomes yours? Okay,
So I'm in this situation and I've had something that
someone has left at my house for maybe we're approaching
like just under a year, and I have made multiple
(00:51):
attempts to give said person this item. I have offered
to make it easier on them, offered to pay for transportation,
offered to you know, you come this time whatever. I've
offered all of these things, and it's always been met
with like it doesn't really matter, or you know, a
failed attempt like hey, I'll come get it this day, and.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Then the category of the item.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Kalan really was trying not to say, well, I.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Think it kind of matters, like is it a sweatshirt
or is it a record player? It's not a technology
of some sort, okay, And what is the value of
said item.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
In the hundreds? In the thousands?
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Probably yeah, like probably hundreds.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Yeah, And so you said, now for a year, come
get your thing that's worth hundreds of dollars. And this
person has not done anything right, not.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Done anything now or flakes or whatever, you own it,
And like I'm just like okay. But then you know,
as soon as I'm like okay, well whatever, it's just
going to stay here, then it's like all of a sudden,
said person wants said item, and I'm like, it's been
a year. I've given you all these chances. You flaked,
like four separate times. I just didn't know if there
was an etiquette, Like, you know, if somebody borrows my snowblower.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Let's just picture I live in a neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You know, I think it's weird that you live in
a high rice condo and have a snowblower, But I mean,
you never.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Know, you honestly never know. You always have to be.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
You know, I want to buy a riding lawnmower, and
I live in a high rise condo. Yeah, I don't
have anything to mow, but like I always wanted one
as a kid, my parents wouldn't buy it, so I
had to like use the push one. Yeah, and now
I want to own one just because I have grown
up money now and I can. But I don't have
any place. So I understand why you have a snowblower,
but anyway, you own it. And my thought is that
(02:35):
whoever this is is trying to use this item to
stay connected to you. Correct, And so I think we
need to stop figure out a way to stop with deploy.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
We're onto you, We're on to you. We know what
you're doing.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Well, like I okay, so you know how you've had women,
You've had women friends leave designer items at your apartment before,
and you've told the story about how you're moving you
up this box of.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
What are you too?
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Giggling women?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
You told that man he has women.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, Well, I'm amazing some of the things that have
been left at my home over the years. And as
you well know, I've slowed way down in my I've
retired from the streets. The streets missed me. They're constantly
asking for me. It's been many years since I was
out here. It's been many years since I was telling
about my you know, sharing my escapades in these streets.
But I've grown up and it's time to you know,
(03:24):
leave that life behind for the most part. But back
when I was in the streets, I was amazed at
the things that people would leave at my home and
that never reclaim that's my thing.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
And then did your sister like get a good designer
pair of glasses or something. It's like at that point
that that all fair game that.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You had this box.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Did you have an earloom like nes it like.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
A pearl necklace that was someone's grandmother's and they didn't
come back and get it.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
There's got to be a cap, like, I know, you
don't care about this item, so like, there's got to
be a cap, like I'm done.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
You know, Well, I think maybe they weren't supposed to
be there, or perhaps say, oh yeah, I think there
was a sub sort of issue. I don't know, it's
not at all that so because when the last time
I moved, it was a long long time ago. It
was fifteen sixteen years ago when I moved from one
city to another, from Charlotte to Chicago, and I had
to move so quickly that they moved they sent people
(04:13):
to like They're like, you need to be here like
in a week. I'm like, okay, Well, what do you
want to do with my stuff? They're like, we'll send
a moving company over there. Leave your key with somebody,
and we'll pack the place, and the next time you
see your stuff it will be wherever you choose to live.
So I did that, and then my mom and my
sister came to help me unpack. And I will tell
you it's a very nice thing to have someone pack.
The problem is you don't don't let them unpack because
(04:36):
for a couple of reasons, the service was pack unpacked,
and the company paid for it because it was like,
well it has to happen now, fine, whatever, They just
they'll unpack it for you, and they'll take the boxes,
but they'll unpack it, and then it just is everywhere.
They just leave it in the general vicinity of where
they think it's supposed to be. They don't put it
away for you. And so I think that for someone
like me, it was a crazy person that you want
(04:57):
to keep things at least in the box until you're
ready to unbox them, because seeing everything you own just
strewn about. But anyway, they start to unpack while I'm
at work. I come home and my mom's like, can
we address that box over there? And it was just
full of items that right, like designer sunglasses, pearl necklace. No,
(05:18):
I don't keep that. And my sister's like looking through
it and she's like, can I have this? And she's putting
these glasses on them like their yours. Now I guess
they weren't ladies.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
I think after.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
An honest attempt at woman and emptying your lost and found,
it becomes yours. And I think we're done talking about it,
because it sounds to me like someone's trying to attach
themselves to you via an item.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Well, I just was thinking in general.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
But I had an ex's mom who found something naughty
of ours when she was helping him move, and that
was one of the most mortifying and humiliating situations. I
can't say what it is, but she held it up
and was like, what's this?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah? Are you too freaky for me?
Speaker 5 (06:05):
But as a Molie judge, yes, the time has run
out on this. I know it is now yours. You
should actually charge this person a storage fee. Oh okay,
because you've had you've had to house this this item.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Okay, Judge Kiki, what is the time frame? I'm just curious,
like me official ruling.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Yeah, yeah, about three hours after I'll put you out.
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Yeah, you can't come to stuff, Okay. I was gonna
say three to six months top. Yeah, I would say
three months tops. If I make an honest effort to
get you back your stuff after three months and you
can't come get it, then we're done talking about this,
and I'm done messing with you about it.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
That's fair. I'm done messing with you about it. I
have I have a couple of people's saying I've got
a friend. Yeah, I have a couple of people's things.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
But yeah, and you know, you know how committed I
am to getting rid of people's things that there will
be no carryover, like you're not gonna as. Another story
that I'm sure many of you have heard of you've
been listening for a while is I dated a girl.
I had a key to her house and to her
parking garage, and we broke up and she actually lives
on the same street as I do. It's about two
miles down the street. But I was so committed to
(07:07):
not messing with this person again that I just I
stuck it in a UPS envelope and and I ups
it down the street because it's like, you're not You're
not gonna call me in a week or two or
six or whatever and go where's my key?
Speaker 1 (07:18):
And then we got to meet up for the key.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Nope, you got the key. And the UPS guy was like,
you do realize you could walk this down there? I said,
I do realize that, okay, and that's none of your business.
Here is this fourteen dollars that I'm willing to spend
so that I don't have to do this.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
I've even had friends leave stuff and if I'm like
John and I'll be like listen, I'm going to give
this away, then they all of a sudden want it.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
It's like, okay, well what's yeah, this is getting wild.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I am not your story.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
No, just stuff. Even though I still have stuff at
my sister's house.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
It's never leaving.
Speaker 5 (07:49):
Oh yeah, like when you move out your parents' house,
Like that doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Oh yeah, that's another way that doesn't count.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
I always send me back with my crap. I'm like,
you drop it.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Yeah, I'm like I'm not.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
My parents are all talking about moving.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
It's the concept of a plan, and they're starting to
be like, well, what are you gonna do with your stuff?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I'm like, excuse me, what am I gonna do with
my stuff? What do you mean? What am I gonna do?
You know where I live? What am I gonna What
am I gonna do with that?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
My dad always sends me home with like sentimental stuff
of mine, and I'm like, aren't you supposed to keep that?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You're my dad. I'd be like.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I saved your tooth? Do you want I'm like, where
are you going? Because I thought you saved it because
i'm your daughter.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
He sent me home with all my pacifiers last time.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
I'm like pacifiers from when I was a baby.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I'm like, bro, I don't see I don't need it.
He's my dad.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
I do think.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I think that you can just throw that stuff away
and I don't need to know that you even had it,
because now it's like you don't care for
Talk better than the excited tell me. These are the radio.
