Where the hell did the idea of tipping your landlord come from, anyway? I've heard a few people in recent years bring it up as if it was an actual thing, and I'm just like WTF?

Pretty sure it's not an actual thing anywhere, just a subtle pervasive joke.

No I had an old landlord strongly imply he should be tipped.

They basically said "you know it's traditional to tip your maintaince man at Christmas, and I do a lot more than that"

I obviously did not tip.

Your maintenance man is NOT your landlord, and honestly probably deserves a tip. I tip my garbage men on christmas.

Fuck your landlord for implying he does more and deserves a tip though.
