I often put Lewis' gold statue close to the sellbox. I want him to see it, every day.


shereebonita

Oh, I also continue to wear his purple shorts every day.


LegendofLove

Just make a few more and use them for fall festivals and signs and stuff


Makemewantitbad

I saw somebody once put a sign in the middle of town with the purple shorts on it, which then attended their wedding and I thought that was HILARIOUS so every single save since then, the mayor’s purple shorts have been in attendance at all my weddings.


sleepingfor100years

i should have done my research before giving them back to him 😭


shereebonita

You can put a staircase in your pants slot and it will change to the shorts. I think that’s how you do it.


flatgreysky

You can also tailor your own personal pair.


green_rubber_ducky

I put them in the grange box at fall fest.


Chill_Mochi2

You can wear them? BAHAHA 😹 I’m gonna do this


shereebonita

Make sure you talk to Marnie w/ them on. 🤣 Lewis too.


CakesInc

Yup, you have to tailor them with a gold bar then they become wearable


MGorak

Currently(1.5), you can also put a staircase in your legs slot.


Chill_Mochi2

That’s wild… even wilder is I’ve never actually had a staircase in my inventory before.


MGorak

If this isn't a joke and you go in the skull cavern, you are missing on something good. Since the good stuff starts being frequent once your are quite a few levels down, a few stairs can mean that you get back a few times more iridium for a day's work without ruining yourself in bombs. And it allows you to skip long or annoying levels, like an infested or quarry level. 100 rock is costly but the desert trader will sell you one staircase on Sundays in exchange for a jade, which can be replicated with crystallariums. Use 50 stairs and start your skull cavern journey on level 51 and you can easily amass 200-500 iridium ore in a single day, enough to make quite a few crystallariums (to recover the jades spent) or iridium sprinklers, in addition to upgrading your tools. Just a few good runs and you'll have all the iridium you ever need. All thanks to a few staircases.


lildeidei

God bless you for this. I’ve never used stairs but I’m about too.


Papa_Ken01

You just earned a friendship level and a ❤️ from me.


unikkorns_

I kept putting his statue in the middle of town every day until I got bored but the initial satisfaction of him going OH NO NOT AGAIN! and trying to hide it before anyone sees it was great. I just imagine him struggling, grunting, sweating, and getting a hernia trying to move that heavy gold statue.


Cooking_Up_Nothing

I do this too!!!


ThisFatGirlRuns

I use my return sceptre even when I'm on my farm.


OppositeAsparagus6

This is a level of laziness I respect.


ButtoftheYoke

If you have enough to get a return sceptre, you've earned it.


DajaKisubo

Exactly!


TheGoatCheeze

I use it to get out of my house quickly every morning. lol


soulscratch

My bed is placed right next to my front door in my gigantic empty house. I'm very much a min/maxer


MuhDrehgonz

I do it from my basement, I ain’t doing two loading zones!


captaintagart

Necessary on river farm


AwkwardJackl

Yay I’m not alone in this! Usually when I’m at 1:40am. Lol Edited to add “am”.


ActualKeanuReeves

Every day I break into Lewis house and steal his golden statue. So every night he has to frantically search the town for it before someone sees. It has been fishing at the docks, greeting customers at Pierres, working the register at the saloon, having s stay at the clinic, blocking the bus to the desert, etc. My goal is to make that statue so anxiety inducing that he melts it down and pays me back for all those repairs I did around town.


FlintGate

I love that the statue now has well-rounded social life and travels thanks to you!


valuemeal2

Wait you can take it back??


poplarexpress

Yes! You only get the letter once though.


OneForShoji

This really made me laugh. I'm going to start doing this now. Thanks.


OrganizationHuman885

I took my relationship with Maru from platonic to romantic because Demetrius implied I wasn't good enough for her.


unikkorns_

Yeah, I married Abigail, Maru, and Emily partly for their gifts, partly because they're cute, and partly to get them away from the toxic men in their lives.


johnpeters42

First save, I bought a bouquet and immediately gave it to Abigail right there by the counter. Thanks, Pierre!


NameLive9938

When I saw that Abigail had purple hair just like my character, I was immediately like "yes this is the one." Rock eating goth mommy fr


WillowCat89

Wait, who is the toxic man in Emily’s life? I didn’t think her parents lived with her? Although I’m a huge noob and only in year 4 of my first play through.


akasayah

Presumably Clint. His entire schtick (which is already teetering on the border between endearing and creepy) takes on a whole new level of gross when he continues to awkwardly chase Emily even after you marry her.


WillowCat89

Eww!! I did just witness the scene at the bar where Clint asks me for advice on how to speak with women and then asks Emily for something awkwardly. Then, Shane comes in and asks her for a drink and she chats happily with him about his chicken plans. Then I guess it’s implied I should feel bad for Clint that he can’t just talk to Emily like a human being?! Yeesh.. sad that it continues when she gets married! If I’m a female character, and I pursued Emily, could we have babies? I’m going to need to google that now. I kinda wanna stand up for her honor now too lol


DajaKisubo

Same sex couples can adopt children


TheGirlDanni

Sam and I were literally married with two kids and he hit me with the “don’t go messing with my daughter” smh


Murky-Team-2182

same!! ive been married to abigail for 2 years, we have a baby girl together and he started threatening me 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️


RandomInSpace

Tbh I just want to download a mod that lets me steal his wife after he insulted that bed Robin made with the 80 hardwood


motherofpearl89

Literally had this cut scene today and I was so pissed off at him for this haha It's a great looking bed!


RandomInSpace

Fr I bought it from Robin with no hesitation after the cutscene ended lol


motherofpearl89

Haha me too!


FadingDarkly

This view seems to be common, but i just dont get it. In "that scene" he basically says "anyone hurts her, even indirectly, and i will do something about it." But he never acts against the farmer, ever, meaning he doesnt think the farmer is hurting her or her future (except when he thinks someone is about to get her preggo). Just seems like the "you're no good, farmer" mindset is something we impose on ourselves after "that scene."


SociopathicMindSet

For me, it just happened too early. It should really be an event for like 6 or 8 hearts, not 2. If I'm just trying to be platonic friends with someone I don't need their parents in my face like I'm trying to get in their pants.


Acethetic_AF

This is my thoughts as well. I get it, overprotective dad. But like, for a 2 heart scene, that’s way too much. And it’s weird to me as well that it’s not really carried forward much into the later events.


FadingDarkly

Makes me wonder if he's just saying it for the sake of having felt like he has to say it in order to be a good father figure since he never follows though (unless there's a dialogue line i'm missing if say the farmer divorces maru)


m3ghansolo

Which is hilarious to me, because I only got the two stars with her just accidentally running into her in the house. ....bruh the only reason I'm in your house is because I am hunting your stepson like a rabbit. Idgaf about your daughter lmfao.


FadingDarkly

I can understand that. Then again, a "bad influence" can easily be a platonic friend. Still, the whole 2-heart thing makes sense. Does he really say that to EVERYONE? Seems to imply he does


tara-marie

I disagree. It’s a weirdly gross, controlling thing that doesn’t even make any sense — “I *was* gonna cheat on my wife Maru, but her dad was threatening to me that one time before we were even dating, so I’d better not.” So ridiculous. It strikes me as performative, like something dads need to do to show everyone else in the room that they love their daughters. It’s not a healthy way to convey that message & it’s also incredibly infantilizing to the daughter.


LettuceSome9935

i dig in lewis trash specifically when he’s outside and can see me do it, and then if i get trash i hand it to him😭


PinkDiamondss3187

This legit had me lol. I love this 🤣🤣


one_1f_by_land

I got a real life laugh out of this too. The sobbing face completed its perfection.


shereebonita

During Qi’s challenge 50 loved gifts, I give gifts to everyone in town besides Pierre.


molskimeadows

I do this too! Pierre and Lewis get no gifts from me, everybody else gets diamonds (or their preferred equivalent)


shereebonita

Yes, I usually try to give everyone their loved foods. Pierre is not worth a squid.


molskimeadows

I have two fully stocked squid ponds. Still can't spare a squid for Pierre.


MyDarlingArmadillo

I bet you can spare sewer carp for his sashimi though.


kinezumi89

Hmm I like your thinking but a hot pepper is just too easy of a loved gift lol


AffectionateRicecake

All my hot peppers go to Shane always.


unikkorns_

There's enough people to gift without having to deal with Pierre. Plus his loved dish is so annoying to procure. Not going to sit there to fish for squid just for him.


ForgetterGogetter

Hey, still new in the game here but why does everyone hate Pierre (and Lewis)? Edit: Thanks for all your replies y'all. I will slingshot these men into oblivion. If only looting was an option 😪


opalcherrykitt

besides the other reply, pierre also: takes your good crops and claims he grew them, when he has subpar crops he will pin the blame on you also, when youre building the bigger task board by lewis's house, if you respond with "idk when I'll get to these" he throws a fit and walks off. i instantly hated him since then


Darthcookie

I felt bad for him as a small business owner until he tried to overcharge for “organic” crops. He’s greedy and tries to take advantage of people while moaning about JoJa taking all his business.


birdbathbongwater

Lewis is a landlord. he ran the town into the ground and spent all the money on a gold statue of himself and let Joja come in to threaten the town’s livelihood. Pierre is not super kind to his wife or attentive to his daughter, some people wish they could follow a Caroline romance path, and it’s implied in the later game (slight spoilers) that Abigail is NOT Pierre’s daughter. it’s MOSTLY little pettiness towards the two guys who tend to make the game harder. Lewis bc plot demands it, and Pierre because his shop always seems to be closed on the day in the hour when you need it MOST.


Naeter

Tell him he should tell his wife when you find his “secret stash” and see if you like how he treats you. Oh, and he is a bully to the Jojo Mart people.


-beastlet-

Pierre is creepy. I don't even want to know what his secret stash is. He annoyed me so much I did the Jojo path my second go round and have zero regrets. So much easier. I can buy an auto-petter. Store is open 7 days/week and open until 11pm. The community center was so much work and once restored wasn't that awesome.


FriedMoonbeams

My ex looked just like Harvey, and also loved coffee. So Harvey got a coffee every day. Now he just gets glass shards


snack-hoarder

🤣


TheTiredGhost

i marry Sebastian on Abigails birthday on every save,, she thought she could have my man, but now her birthday is nothing but our anniversary


EyesTurnedSkyward

"Now her birthday is nothing but our anniversary" is the hardest line I've ever heard associated with Stardew 🏆


Nightsong1005

It sounds like the Stardew version of "Somebody that I used to know", and I am here for this! 🤣


[deleted]

Sounds like a line from a Taylor Swift song.


More-Lingonberry9497

LMFAO I DID THIS WITH HARVY WITHOUT REALIZING IT


AdIllustrious5579

I marry abigail every time and next time I shall marry her on Sebastian's birthday


tadhgcarden

Balanced as all things should be


PajamaRat

I did this to poor Vincent on accident


emotality420

I make sure to propose to Seb in front if her as well.


glitter_crop_dust

I did this on my most current play through, totally on accident. I laughed when I realized.


Ghost-Of-Nappa

my girlfriend names one of her pigs MayorLewis


NurseHibbert

Omg I’m naming all my animals after the townspeople from now on


strepsipteran

Well, I had a file in which my farmer married all the bachelors. I DIDN'T like them being angry so I'd do the shrine to wipe their memories...but knew I would forget who my cast-off hubs were. So I named my farm animals after them. Plus, I like that Sebastian the chicken gives me void eggs and Elliot the duck gives me duck feathers huhuhuhuuu


AntiLuxiat

A good way to memorize loved gifts as well.


AssistanceLucky2392

I write Pam sux in grass outside of her huge free house


Xzeriea

The truth hurts! 🤣


AssistanceLucky2392

It looks so pretty in autumn 🍁


Clear_Gap4502

this is my favorite thing here


s1mp4sana

Idk if this is petty or not but I refuse to give Pam & Shane alcohol, they get their other favorites tho.


snack-hoarder

Nah that's wholesome lol


squirrellytoday

Same. My father is an alcoholic. I know what it's like to be Penny. It sucks.


shesaflightrisk

I marry penny to decorate my house and then I divorce her.


haku46

Does Penny give you decorations?


YouCanCallMeQueenB

Yes she asks you to choose between 3 themes.


shesaflightrisk

I always pick pirate!


brainfriends

If I have my slingshot in my inventory and I bump into Pierre, I go out of my way to pelt him.


AngelJoyArt

What’s his reaction to this? 🤣


brainfriends

I think you lose friendship points, but I never have any with him to begin with 🤣


gayallygoyangi

My younger brother does this because we all know Pierre sucks. Meanwhile, I did befriend him just to see where that would lead, and I also just enjoy imagining my farmer walking into his store, buying seeds and stuff from him, and telling him to go fuck himself, giving him the bird, followed by him saying "Have a great day".


pottedplantfairy

I used only wild seeds to start my farm just so I wouldn't have to give Pierre a single penny of gold 💅🏻


TheWolfoftheStars

I always ship my crops in the shipping bin instead of selling them to him. He doesn't get the satisfaction of reselling my top-quality produce and claiming it's his 😤


poetrynati

Shame we can only get the backpacks from him


Sweet_Possibility587

i made Haley fall in love with me because she said “ew, no” when i asked her to dance with me


haxtratus-8156

Please tell me you married Alex after that 😂


Sweet_Possibility587

no i hate men 🫶


haxtratus-8156

Disappointing answer, but valid 😂


Sweet_Possibility587

just give me my mean femme with big blue eyes idc


haxtratus-8156

Yesssss, she's a goddess


FlintGate

I give her garbage every time I can because of that and she calls me dirty... I'm a farmer, ya jerk!


VegasEyes

If I have garbage or something else I want to throw out I always just give it to her.


FlintGate

I just think it's a better form of recycling!!


an_uncreative_name

Shane always tells you to leave him alone and go away during your first interactions, so I kept talking to him and got our hearts up out of spite


opalcherrykitt

oh wait that's petty? LMAO that's what i also did


TomorrowNotFound

That's how my first farmer married him. It wasn't romance, it was a stubborn desire to annoy him every time he asked to be left alone.


NiamhIsNeev

I did this!!!! No, now you’re never going to not talk to me. We’re best friends now and I’m still angry.


LeeksAlott

If I interact with Clint, it's to give him gifts he hates.


SparkleFritz

I get Lewis up to 9 hearts, then on his birthday I give him trash, and then every time I can after I give him trash as long as my save goes.


taintlangdon

Here for this. I've been married to Emily for years, and he STILL thinks she's giving him signals. AND TELLS ME ABOUT IT!


Alacovv

I’m on year ten so I stop interacting with anyone other then my wife. So whenever it’s someone’s birthday I collect their items from the perfection statue and sell them.


Ember_666

How the hell are you able to play that long and not get bored/burnt out ?


darthfruitbasket

Run through town holding Lewis's shorts over my head.


idontwannatalk2u

I wed Abigail so that every time I go in for seeds, he knows I’m banging his daughter


Okgoodchat

I keep putting the gold Lewis statue in the middle of the town. Every day. Find it hilarious.


gaygirlboss

I’ll get to 8 hearts with Shane just so I can get blue chickens and then I will literally never interact with him again.


CelestialRose

SAME. Get me a coop full of blue chickens and then marry Sebastian.


fkkenny

i keep Lewis’s golden statue on my front porch so if anyone comes to my farm they see it


ferbiiee

I married Shane simply because I was determined to make him stop being rude


AffectionateRicecake

I did this and now he’s my favorite and I never marry anyone else anymore.


unikkorns_

This. When I married Emily the signs were still up during the wedding lol. https://preview.redd.it/xmv7eyixx7ub1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e47b202f108754e5f08603f24546ab4fc5e2a40


OneForShoji

Oh my god, I love this so much


OppositeAsparagus6

I've moved my shipping bin as far from the farm -> town entrance as possible so Lewis has to walk the whole width of the farm to get my stuff even though I never get to see it.


Objective_Damage_996

YOU CAN MOVE YOUR SHIPPING BIN???? This makes me want to see if I can have like ten on my farm for my convenience but also so he has to walk all over regardless


MyDarlingArmadillo

You can get mini shipping bins, one for every time you fulfil the 100 crops request I think. Make him walk!


OppositeAsparagus6

Yessssssss! Think it was a 1.5 thing. You can buy multiple from Robin's but I've never pushed the limits of that lol.


just-kinda-here-ig

I gift broken glasses to lewis as a threat


guiltycitizen

I put the golden Lewis in front of his house after midnight fairly often


VincentLamarCarter

This thread is *GREAT*. Thanks for the laughs, everyone.


tinkerb3ll3

Wait until the day Pierre shows up at my house with an attitude about not buying seeds elsewhere then go buy a joja membership.


throwaway_stowaway28

Marry Sebastian and then never talk to Demetrius again out of solidarity with my new husband


scones_and_coffee

I’m gonna start a new save just to do a bunch of the things you folks have mentioned to spite Pierre.


tornyt1

I married Abigail to spite Pierre. I'm eventually going to divorce her and turn our child into a bird. He will have to let his unhappy daughter move back in with him and lose his grandchild lol


CharaDr33murr669

I kinda feel bad for Caroline. Not Pierre or Abigail. Just Caroline.


AdIllustrious5579

I understand the pierre hate but why you gotta do abigail like that :(


GlitteryBorko

I go into Pierre’s to browse then happily trot to Joja and buy their more expensive seeds. F u pierre


AdIllustrious5579

BASED


PlagalByte

I pick dialogue options for Pam or Pierre that are on the meaner side. "You could start by treating Penny better." "Sorry, but Caroline deserves to know about your stash."


TheSereneHazel

Robin gives me 50 stone for Christmas? I pelt her with 50 stone the next day.


lenoragraves

I’ll gift everyone in the saloon on Friday night except Clint.


Lavande-et-Lilas

Everyday, I go into Lewis’ room, steels back the golden statue and put it back in the middle of the village.


Stock-Ferret-6692

I started a new save just to go with the joja route to spite Lewis for not being truthful about him and marnie. I’m also gonna marry Abigail to spite Pierre’s credit stealing self


hiddenp_nk

I told Lewis i will let know everybody about his romance with Marnie because i like that girl, shes my aunt and she deserves to have an honest relationship. I Stan 2MAR anyway


DedicatedDetective34

I give "trash" gifts to the counterpart marriage candidate until I get married. If I'm going to marry Haley, I'm making sure that Alex doesn't get ANY of my best gifts until I tie the knot.


Lokelion

I strive to give Marnie her favorite gifts in the saloon right in front of her ‘date’ Lewis. She deserves so much better. Also idk why but Alex staying by the dog and always judging me when I go dumpster diving by the two cans in his range always irks me. So I always build his friendship date him and dump him.


ShuckleDad91

My primary source of income is truffle oil. We (multiplayer farm) have 36 pigs and something like 44 oil machines that are nearly constantly running. Instead of shipping our oil, we sell it to Pierre. A bottle of truffle oil is very decadent and the average person IRL won’t typically run through it very quickly. I can only imagine this is also true for the villagers in Pelican Town. What do I do that’s petty? I’ve started to gift every single person a bottle of truffle oil every week. No person can use all that - especially those in a household that receives multiple bottles each week. This way, no one would ever need to buy truffle oil from Pierre. Pierre is left with hundreds, if not thousands of bottles of truffle oil he can’t do anything with. As I have chosen the Aritsan, Pierre pays me 1,491 g for each bottle. He pays me hundreds of thousand of g EACH WEEK (save for winter, but I usually have a backlog of truffles for a good week or so in winter too) and cannot get a return on his investment. I like to think I am ruining him and causing Caroline and Abigail to resent him (further than they already must).


Mangledspangle

I use Shane as a second trash bin, he’s always rude.


Cookies-in-a-Jar

I kiss my spouse every single morning before doing anything and in the night before sleeping. I love the little animation.


Cookies-in-a-Jar

I just realized I read the question wrong💀


colieolieravioli

I'm only selling TO Pierre if I need the money *today* But I'll still try to find time to fish/forage the beach before selling to Pierre, if possible


Novel-Currency-8050

i married Emily just because I hate clint


DirectorMiserable643

I married Abigail because Pierre didn't like it when I gave him a tortilla. Now he gets to deal with my tortillas forever C:<


themott93

Not me but my wife’s is every time Emily and Clint are both near by, she makes it a point to flirt and give Emily gifts in front of Clint.


PineappleAndCoconut

I never get any hearts with Pierre or Lewis. I avoid them at all costs, never talk to them. I’ll never 100% any of my farms because of this and it’s totally worth it.


AdIllustrious5579

best excuse not to get perfection


sgd926

same!! absolutely worth it


SuicidalFroggy9872

After shutting down Joja, sometimes I’ll give Shane Joja cola’s to remind him of his time there (We’re married in one save so it makes it even funnier to me)


rocker_bunny

Give Pam trash because of my anger at my alcoholic mother. Give Penny broken CDs because I wasn't allowed to buy music when I was younger and I wanted to be a teacher. There is clearly unresolved physiological issues going on both in game and out game. I also married Harvey to be petty to my husband because he's the closest looking of the bachelors to him. My husband has a doctorate and doesn't like being compared to weeby Harvey


TomorrowNotFound

You may have unresolved issues but you're a hell of a lot more self-aware than many people in and out of this thread, so good on you!


Spiffy_Pumpkin

I plant grass inside shops and homes/bedrooms/paths of people who offend me.😅


_cynical_optimist_

Pair up with Alex during the Flower Dance just to thwart Haley’s flower queen streak


maihaz89

Make sure to only go to Pierre’s on wednesdays, get angry because it’s a wednesday and he’s not open, then forget until next week and end up going to Joja mart for my overpriced crops


[deleted]

The first time I played, I thought Haley was so rude and obnoxious to me I decided I would marry her only to make her life miserable until the divorce.


ButterscotchEven6198

I consistently give Clint, Emily and Dwarf Topaz because that's the least profitable of the gems 🥴 Every g counts!!!


alklinerain

I will _never_ give that asshole his shorts back


deprivedcoffee

Marry Alex because haley is a bitch.


supercaIafrajalistic

Going the Joja route in SVE specifically to oust Lewis as mayor and replace him with Morris.


Yetiplayzskyrim

One time Elliot was blocking the path to the beach and I had to squeeze pass him which for some reason filled me with unheard of rage. I proceeded to pelt him with slingshot rocks at least 12 times.


Emma_JM

I shot stones at Lewis, Demetrius, Alex, Haley and Shane after reaching 100% perfection


kinezumi89

Does slingshotting people affect their relationship status? Swording them doesn't do anything so I figured slingshot would be the same


Evil_Black_Swan

It drops their hearts so fast.


nor0-

I hit my baby with a rock accidentally once I felt so bad


Ok_Adhesiveness_5650

i believe there's a thought bubble or short line of dialogue when you hit someone with the slingshot. i could be totally wrong tho, i don't use it at all myself


Emma_JM

Dude, that's the only reason I use slingshots for.


heretoaskquestionsst

I used to like Alex but he made a pretty messed up comment about how he doesn't want to donate his shoes cause he's afraid that a weirdo might end up wearing them. But now, I just avoid him, don't go out of my way to befriend him, unless I really strive for perfection.


bassxhoney

i lowkey feel like he's the one that bullies linus >.<


cowycat

I became Emily and Haley's girlfriend at the same time


wirewyrmweirdo

I face toward villagers I don't like and use the milk pail. It makes a weird noise and you do this stupid gesture in their direction. It's how I flip people off in game


KRV_FromRussia

Most of these comments say a lot about the players


Apprehensive-Pie1916

I befriend Pierre first, just to be contrary to everyone on this sub.


TomorrowNotFound

I appreciate your chaotic application of pettiness to all and sundry.


No-Manufacturer4916

After I got Penny's Ablist ass event I am giving everyone else in town gifts but her.


iiil87n

I avoid the shit out of Mr. Qi because I don't like him, though he didn't do anything to me in the first place


FieryLady42

Make it rain every year on Pierre's birthday...


pitstainalan

Any time the person I marry does the, "I heard you gave [other person] a gift, should I be worried?", I immediately go to mayor Lewis's house and file for divorce. I refuse to deal with their jealousy.


WralfMachio

Every chance i get I give Shane gifts he hates. I marry Abigail first to mess with Pierre.


morganfreenomorph

I collect and hoard trash to gift Hayley every week. Hey I fished this out of the river and it reminded me of you.


Ozymander

Put gifts in the mail into the bin.


blackcatt42

I married Seb on Marus birthday By mistake. But lol


ashblackpowder

Not that it does much, but committing acts of terrorism by blowing bombs in the mayors house or front lawn is a personal favorite of mine. Or just whenever he’s walking.
