apartment managers who would illegally break into my place without warning on a monthly basis to show buyers (which was a whole thing I'll get into some other time)
Ye gods, that sounds like too many landlord stories I've heard, and close enough to a few I've lived. :P

(Incidentally, there's something terribly appropriate about Ganesh, the Lord of Obstacles, as a lock.)
I was thinking just that!

So now you know what not to do, thanks to the endless cautionary tale that is Trikotomy.
"If you can't be a good example, you'll have to settle for being a horrible warning."
I've been thinking about that quote a lot recently. :|

I had those exact words in mind. I would say that they should go on my tombstone, but "hard work and hope are no substitute for actual knowledge" wins that prize hands down. Not that they won't just pitch my ashes off a cliff or something - even property in the potter's field is worth too much these days.

Maybe people will have to start sharing a single tombstone with another person to split the costs so they can afford one when they die, regardless of how uncomfortably boundary-breaching that may be... just as people already have to do with apartments while they're alive. :P

That epitaph doesn't feel like it'd look too inaccurate on mine either. I was going to go with "No good deed ever goes unpunished", but this would probably be just as fitting, really.
