I guess I’ll be living in a hotel for 3 weeks starting tomorrow

I mean, my parents and I have known about this for 6+ months and we're always planning on putting in a hotel between leases. It's not like I just was unaware that we had a 3 week gap.
My guy....
You are complaining about having a bed, a TV, and a roof. You are not homeless.
If you were sleeping on the steps of the local library, you'd be homeless.
nah, that's not similar. you just described actually being homeless.

Unsure if this hotel has a TV with HDMI plugs. This isn't like a Best Western or a Holiday Inn. Just a small, few room motel outside of the city.
lol you're killing me
OP, Snakes has the stuff. The HDMI adapter and cables for your hotel TV. I told him to leave it on the doorstep and get the hell out of there.

OP
We, as in. My parents and I were aware that I had a gap in my leases.
Not really because I could live with my grandparents where all of my shit is until I get a job in either that town or another that I'm for sure moving to in September
Complexes that cater to college students. I've been in the same situation as OP, though I didn't stay in a hotel as I have a dog.
OP
OP
Because I'm a young adult, who's never lived on their own, having to put most of my belongings in a storage facility, and living in a small hotel I've never been to alone for 3 weeks.
Yeah fuck me for being worried I guess.
Yeah that's what I just moved out of. Graduated in December but couldn't really afford a 6 month lease so been living there until yesterday.
Odd question, but did your previous place not allow month-to-month? Usually they'll allow for that after your initial lease expires, tho it might cost more as they can't confirm you'll live their for an additional six months or year. That would avoid the 3 week gap.
Also, is this your first time moving apartments? Always overlap rentals if possible to avoid issues like these.

No
fuck you for comparing living in a hotel for 3 weeks while you play videogames and eat taco bell to being homeless and then doubling down on it.
OP is fukken DRIPPING with privvies.
You're not homeless you big dumb dummy, you have a roof over your head WITH NO CHARGE.
OOOOOOH this one really gets to me. Like shivers of contempt down my spine.

No I couldn't have extended for a month. It is related to the college so they need everyone gone before the semester begins as that's when everyone will move in. Which is why the other one won't let me in for 3 weeks as that apartment is tied to the school and it's not open yet.
crawl out from your own ass hole
you knew this was coming and planned for it with your parents
will have a bed and storage for your belongings
will have food and water every day
and you have the GALL to say "I GUESS IM GONNA BE HOMELESS TOMORROW"
get some perspective
Right. As I said you have no permanent residence. The only limit you have is that you can't change your ID to have the current address you're going to be staying at.
You're in a position at a thousand times better than most homeless people are in. Hell at my store, we have rented mailboxes and I have five actually homeless customers who pay monthly so they use our store address to get mail, renew their IDs and not look homeless to potential employers.
As did I. I graduated last month and my lease ended July 31, so I'm living with a friend for a couple months until I can figure my shit out.
This time of year is always really weird because if you want to switch complexes you have to foot the bill for housing for three weeks somewhere else.
Worried is fine, but again, you ain't homeless OP. You are lucky you have parents to fall back on to help with this. If you didn't was strapped for cash and had to live out of your car for 3 weeks? Then sure, go ahead to call yourself homeless. Just don't misappropriate that term because you'll still have a bed and a roof over your head instead of living in a shelter, out on the streets, or in your car.
It sucks because moving is such a draining experience and you basically have to do it twice within a short time frame. I can't really stay with my grandparents because I still have bills to pay other than rent so I'm working back in the other city until I get something else.
It's not that your worries are unfounded
It's that you're continuing to call yourself homeless when you aren't. Your plight is incomparable to that of a homeless person. You literally said in your OP:
Do you think real homeless people's biggest worry is not being able to play their goddamn PS4? That they'll only have a Switch to play on? Do you think the people in homeless shelters are concerned with whether or not they'll be able to play Death Stranding and not where their next meal will be coming from? Jesus Christ.
Dude, you're being really obtuse here. You are in between scheduled leases for apartments and are gonna stay in a hotel for a few weeks for free.
Stop trying to make it sound like anything about this situation is unusual or hard. You're fine. You don't need anything from us.
Just connect your PS4 to the tv in your room, assuming you are staying in a decent one
And eat somewhere better than taco bell lol
Wait, so you're still in college? Fuck me you are privileged. Are you close enough to your parents house that you can just crash there? Serious, no reason to put your parents out of money just so you can still feel 'independent'.
Wish I was there for the original thread title. This is like an example of the ultra wealthy asking for tax cuts.
If this is a stealth brag thread then hell yeah being in a hotel for extended time is awesome. Love that freshly laundered room every single day. It is hard to eat out every day but takeout and sushi bars are good options

No, I wish I could just stay with my parents. They live 2,000 miles away and I only see them once every few years. I have a job down here that I can't take 3 weeks off for

My parents didn't like the idea of me staying 3 weeks alone in someone's house. If I were with friends or something then yeah I would have gone with an Airbnb
You know, I didn't think I should make a thread about this as I am in a similar situation, but I guess I should post it here.
Hey guys, my new job is going to give me a temporary apartment to stay in for a couple months as a part of my relocation package. They're gonna move my belongings and car and keep some of it in storage for me for free. I'm a little scared being homeless. The place is fully furnished, but housekeeping only comes by every other week to clean :(. Also, I don't have an apartment at all ahead of time. So I'm going to have to find a place in 2 months somehow :(:(:(
Anybody have any advice how to make it through these tough times :*(
Op, do you see how absurd I would sound if I was seriously complaining about my situation or acting as if I am homeless at all?

I'm literally just reponding to the person's comment about using my PS4. Jeez
I've been in your situation so I understand your stress. That being said, you doubling down on the homeless thing really was not good since there are many members on this board who have actually been homeless, and living in a hotel is paradise comparatively.
Could you have not have liked save a little cash in the 6 months you knew about it, to you know , prepare for it?
And cmon man, this is not a problem that requires compassion,lmao
You guys have some compassion here. Lets send the OP a 4K tv so he can play his PS4. I expected more of you people.
OP repeatedly doubling down on his nonsense makes me think this is just a troll thread. If not, holy shit lol.
you're staying in a motel for free for 3 weeks and originally framed the conversation as you being homeless. what the fuck kind of compassion are you expecting. grow up.
This forum does have a compassion issue from time to time, but this isn't it. You would have received an appropriate amount of compassion if you didn't try to claim that you're homeless. Part of the shittiness of being homeless is being entirely at the mercy of others. You're moving from your apartment to a hotel someone else paid for, and your living situation afterwards is already settled. Is this annoying and inconvenient? Sure. Is it the same as being homeless? Not at all. The lack of compassion seems to be on your part.
OK come on dude, this is too far. Take responsibility for your situation and own up to the fact that you're not homeless, and won't be for the next three weeks by a country mile. And take the advice of others here and donate your time at a homeless shelter, where they have to SHARE microwaves and Switches.
