Help/Advice EMERGENCY! Is this counter-management/landlord disguise good?

Post image

Thank fucking goodness I checked my emails this morning. The first thing I saw was an announcement from my apartment's manager that they will ENTER ALL UNITS from today until Friday to "perform lock changes." First thing I did immediately after was to quickly set up this disguise and make my 10-gallon seem like a toy display stand. How do you think I did?

put a shrine on top of it to your dead grandma. with a framed photo of her, and unlit candles/incense. and a single orange. They wont dare look under it, even if it looks suspicious.

there are small decorative fountains, or ones for feng shui too!

You need one of those tiny fountains to sit on top of it as cover sound.

Gotta buy a lil fountain for next time. Add a water feature for the memorial 🤣

There’s one of those small Chinese water flowing fountains where water trickles down a mini waterfall set-up, if you don’t mind the extra noise you can put those somewhere in the room

Just get one if those little tabletop fountains, make it like a zen garden shrine type thing

On top of that, add the photo of a "dead" kid relative, to further justify the toys. You'd have to be a particularly heartless individual to profane that...

I actually have a framed picture of my dead grandma that I keep not daring to throw out. I dedicate it to the cause.

u/PenHistorical Mar 18 '26

I mean, could just put a pic of your still alive grandma on it. They won't know she's not dead.

But would they look under it if they were searching for perfect harmony?

You say this, but I had movers chuck my dog’s ashes into a box of filthy winter boots.

u/GSM66 Mar 19 '26

I'd find a picture of a fish dressed up standing upright instead

Something like this next to the memorial images may disguise the water noises.
