I want my friend to get my heart when I die Posted: 04 Feb 2018 04:06 AM PST Not as in a transplant, but rather in a jar or something to keep on a bookshelf. Do I just like put it in my will or is this even something that can be done? Edit: Nebraska, US because the bot yelled at me Edit 2: thank you all for the advice. No, this is not a troll, we're just idiots with idiot ideas. Yes, he does know my plan and he's super down. No, I'm not suicidal, but I appreciate the concern. I would only attempt to follow through with this if lab-grown hearts or something similar become readily available between now and when I go. Thanks for making this my most upvoted post.

Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:41 AM PST My girlfriend at the time gifted me a [$2400] bicycle that was rusting in her house she shared with her brother and sister. After riding it for a couple of weeks it was stolen. By then her and I had broken up. To my surprise, that was not her bicycle but her sisters and everyone from that family including the girlfriend wants their stolen bicycle back. They are threatening to call the police on me for "stealing" the bicycle citing that because my ex girlfriend was bi-polar, I somehow manipulated her to get the property. The family is asking for me to buy them a new bicycle or give them the purchasing price for it. This feels like extortion or blackmail because the ex is clearly sour that I broke up with her. Can a police officer search my house without my consent and if this goes to civil court, will I be responsible to pay for the bicycle? [link] [comments] |
Assaulted, then 1 yr later found camera in room possibly put there by assaulter Posted: 04 Feb 2018 08:56 AM PST I am from Oklahoma, USA. Last year, I was assaulted by my now roommate (I have 4 others, and I had already signed the lease). It wasn't rape, but he "felt me up" and groped me while I was sleeping for what felt like 30-45 minutes. I woke up and pretended to stay asleep, hoping that he would think its creepy to touch people while they're definitely still sleeping and stop. It took what felt like forever (way too long--long enough that he knew what he was doing), but he eventually did stop. I panicked, went home, and chose not to report it, due to self-blame and believing that he isn't at his core a bad person. He still gets touchy with me from time to time (Head pats, touching my shoulders, sitting so close to me that hes against me, etc... I now know the same happens to my girlfriends too, no matter how many times they tell him to stop). Last night, I found a "nanny cam spy wall adapter charger" plugged into my wall across from my bed. It is motion sensitive, I believe. Hooked it up to a computer with the help of a couple friends, and saw videos of... sensitive material. Mostly in the bathroom, of my other roommate... using the toilet. Then of someone who looks like my assaulter/roommate (though I am biased, my friends agreed that he had the exact same body type--unfortunately no faces shown beyond my other roommates while using the toilet) taking it out of the bathroom... then the next video is of me finding it. I believe that it was recently put in my room, maybe even the day of or hours before that I found it, because there isnt much else there. I'm lucky that I caught it, though I still find it strange that there were no videos of me in the bathroom--despite me using that bathroom as often as my other roommate. It's possible he has transferred them somewhere (IF it was him... I know that I am biased, but the evidence of his perversion keeps piling up, and I have little doubt in my mind anymore that it was him). The camera has definitely only been there for less than a week, as that is my usual location for my phone charger, which I've searched for in that location within the past couple days and not seen the camera. My friend and I are taking it to the police. I am opening up about the assault and the camera. What should I expect? I'm 20, in college... I've never done this before, and I never expected something this fucked to happen to me. [link] [comments] |
(UT) My Parents Made a Rent Free Lease for a Person Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:49 AM PST Hello, My parents are both in their 70's and may be experiencing some senility. I haven't seen the rental contract they drew up (I'm trying to get it from the city government) but from what they and their tenant have told me, it states that the tenant does not have to pay rent for a period of three years. And not in the sense that the payment is delayed, but they literally don't have to pay anything for three years. That seems insane to me, but for all I know it's legal. My questions are, what kind of lawyer should I talk to, is there relevant caselaw, and if elder abuse is in play what agencies do I talk to. Thank you for your time. Edit: Sorry, I should have specified my goal is that they don't have to let this person into their home so their financial security is guaranteed. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Feb 2018 10:10 AM PST Our HOA is trying to enforce rules that are not in our association documents. This is all about entrance to our community. We have always had issues with unauthorized guest and break-ins. The community: We have a guard house with two entrances: Visitor and Residents. Our community has one way in and one way out. The additional exit has been blocked off with a cement barricade. The guard house has a 24 hour guard and a call box. The issue: Our HOA board members want to start towing cars that are parked in guest parking and also force everyone to use a transponder. However, they are only providing two transponder per household and are charging $50 dollars for additional transponders (stickers). This is not written anywhere in our documentation. We were issued two transponders and I didn't care about the third one cause the call box rings to my cellphone so I can let myself in when I use that car. But now the guards are stating to anyone who uses the visitor side that they must purchase a transponder to get in: "I will let you in now but you need to purchase a transponder" to anyone! Including guest. They offered my father-in-law who does not live with us. Luckily for me, he didn't buy it. The HOA board members stated no resident is to use the visitor gate, this is also not in any documentation. Can I force the HOA to provide me with an additional transponder at no cost since it was never mentioned that it would have a cost? Can they force me to not use the visitor gate? Can they force visitors to purchase transponders as well? Can I do anything about them making up rules that were never signed off on? Can they tow cars in the guest parking if they haven't put up any signs about towing? [link] [comments] |
Just found out I’m a dad to a kid in Mexico Posted: 04 Feb 2018 08:19 AM PST I just found out I have a 13yr old daughter in Mexico. How hard would it be to get her a Visa to be able to come to the US. [link] [comments] |
NY - fell walking home from a bar, woke up arrested for Agg DWI Posted: 04 Feb 2018 06:10 AM PST Thursday night I went out with some friends at a bar 2 blocks from my house, I left to walk home, it was icy and snowing. I fell and landed on my face. I dont remember anything that happened afterwords. Apparently I went back to my car to drive home, (which I don't remember), even though I could have just walked up the hill to my house. Got pulled over for faulty taillights, which was a lie, theyre both fine. Came to getting arrested, failed a field sobriety and sat at the police station for 2 hours. The cops made me call soemone to come get me but my only friend was working out of state. I called him and we talked ( which I dont remember at all. Cops ended up driving me home. My nose is bruised and swollen. I went and got an xray and a med report just in case. I have a clean record, havent even had a speeding ticket in 10 yearsa and no criminal record, but 15 years ago when I was 23 I did have a DWAI. Im going to talk to a lawyer tomorrow morning. Do I have any defense here? Thx Edited to add more details. UPDATE - Already contacted lawyer to see tomorrow am, have dr appt day after. I'm going to have the lawyer check all the car and body cams to see why exactly they pulled me over, my taillights were in perfect working order. Thanks for all the comments and advice, obviously I'm not a saint, but so many shady things happened that night that I want to at least try to defend myself in this situation. If the cops saw me leave a bar, do a faceplant and didn't help and instead just followed me to my car to see if I would drive, then I think thats pretty shitty. Is what it is though, I will try and update this thread with what happens later on with the case, Cause im curious too honestly. Side note - My neighbor is one of the judges in my town.

Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:21 AM PST My ex husband who is an attorney (GA) is trying to get me to discuss a case involving a former boyfriend and now partner in a non profit but who is the defendant in a case where I am the key witness. This involves an event from three years ago where my ex boyfriend went nuts after a med change (he is bipolar) but I had to call the police b/c he was absolutely psychotic and delusional. The trial is coming up soon and my ex found out. Even though he has never had an issue before with him, he is now gunning for him. My ex husband is not legally involved and claims he wants me to stay away from the ex and business partner under the guise of concern, but is saying disparaging things to me, threatening me to change my testimony because my ex is a bad person in general not b/c of the events of the night in question, has revealed intimate case details including diagnosis of the defendant and even admitted he got the info from the state. He is saying he will subpeona me personally even though he is not an ADA but a private practice criminal attorney and implies I am lying and better change my testimony. Even worse he is involving our son threatening if I do not stay away from the defendant he will cause issues with custody and he even told our ten year old son this which caused him to be hysterical. Also my ex husbands mother in law showed the mug shot of my ex and has been telling my son weird things like, "my dog never liked him" and other alienating manipulative things. My ex husband admits he has spoken with the State and gotten intimate details including medical records and has even involved DFCS which traumatized my son terribly but I was more or less forced to sign a safety waiver to stay away from my ex over a totally bogus charge that did not happen (ex husband coerced my son into saying he saw my ex boyfriend hit me which did not happen). Of course I would have signed anything b/c I was scared as hell, but it will have to be modified since ex and I do run a non profit and that requires a degree of interaction. But if no interaction keeps my son, bye non profit. I am just confused and scared and do not know what to do. I will be happy to give more details if needed, but this is the gist. It is actual pretty egregious stuff he has done and said to both my son and I but I would blow up the page if I included it all. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Feb 2018 10:40 AM PST Hi Everyone, tl;dr: Friend's ex-boyfriend shows up at her house unexpected and unwanted, refuses to stop calling her and messaging her, calls her names, when he is angry, accuses her of things that aren't true, and basically is emotionally abusing her. He will not leave her alone despite her requests to, and she is afraid to report him because he is a cop. What should she do? My friend has been seeing this guy for a little over a year. It was not serious - it started off as just someone to spend time with and occasionally go out with. They didn't start calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend until only a couple months ago. She ended the relationship with him because he tried to take the relationship to the next level (moving in together) which she was not comfortable with and also because he has a very bad temper and she just didn't see the relationship going anywhere. Since she ended things, he does not stop calling and texting her. She blocked his number, and he has showed up at her house about 3x, all unexpectedly and unwanted, and he would not leave when she asked him to. He forces her to see him and talk to him, then gets mad at her for not wanting to hang out with him. Yesterday her and I were out, and he found out where we were, showed up, and yelled at her in public. That was my first time meeting him, and he honestly sounded so crazy and delusional (I hope he was drunk because if he wasn't, he has a warped perception of reality and is really, really, irrational and crazy). He said a lot of weird things, like "I'm literally just trying to talk to you. I'm not yelling at you!" even though he was definitely yelling, he accused her of being with another guy, and then maliciously brought up the fact that she has a daughter (whom she didn't introduce him to, but he ended up meeting recently when he showed up at her house one day and invited himself in). When he is mad, he yells out anything he can - such that she is a slut, a whore, stupid, a bad mother, etc. This is definitely abusive behavior. She is afraid to call the cops because he IS a cop. She thinks the other cops will just take his side, and then he will be even angrier and crazier with her for reporting him. She is scared of him (and I am too), so she just does nothing. What should she do? His behavior absolutely isn't okay. For reference, he is with the NYPD. Thanks in advance to everyone. Edit: I meant to write that my friend is (26/f) and her ex is (28/m). Oops!

Kicked a really drunk guy out of a party Posted: 04 Feb 2018 01:03 AM PST My girlfriend had a party in Washington DC. Some guy got really drunk so I walked him out to a cab to send him home where he proceeded to wiggle away from me and fall on the street. He hit the ground hard but didn't hit his head. A car driving by stopped and called the cops. Cops were there and an ambulance came. Since I didn't know the guy they said they could take him to the hospital in the ambulance or I could take him upstairs to sober him up. I did the latter. An ambulance ride isn't cheap. I eventually did get him in a cab and on his way home. A buddy of mine went with him to make sure he made it in to his house. (The drunk guy managed to slur out his address to us) I don't know what happened to him after that. I was thinking it was weird the paramedics let me decide what to do with this guy. If he would have died, am I somehow liable? [link] [comments] |

(RI) Significant other is being detained involuntarily for psychiatric treatment. Posted: 03 Feb 2018 11:15 PM PST My significant other has been tremendously overwhelmed with the amount of stress she has been experiencing with her work. Today she sought help from a psychiatric institution in getting treatment. She initially went to see a small, independently operating therapist. This therapist recommended that she go to a hospital for a full psychiatric evaluation. She went to this voluntarily. After the full psychiatric screening, they placed her under a 10-day involuntary hold at the hospital. They have taken her cellphone from her and only allow her to communicate using the hospital telephone. She can do no research on her rights, she has no contact with the outside world except for phone numbers she has memorized. Once she was allowed, she called me and asked me to help her understand what is going on and how she can get out of this situation. She feels she is not a threat to herself or others, but is now being held against her will for being such. What can be done to get her out as soon as possible? She is extremely busy and cannot afford to miss up to 10 days of work. Doing such will possibly set back her progress months, and might even lead to her being fired. She just wants to go home. The only advice I could give her immediately is to do her best to convince the attending psychiatrist that she is not a danger to herself. Is it also possible to invoke the writ of habeas corpus in this scenario? I'd like to be able to inform her of her rights and what she can do when I am able to speak to her tomorrow. This is in Rhode Island, USA EDIT: She has absolutely zero history of mental illness or suicide attempts and has never sought treatment before. She was seeking treatment because she has been experiencing anxiety and depression as a result of a tremendous upturn in her work stress / amount over the last year. FINAL EDIT: I just spoke with her. Her main complaint has been panic attacks. However she mentioned in the evaluation that she has had suicidal thoughts for many years, though she has no intention on acting on them and never has acted on them. This triggered an automatic hold from the hospital, due to malpractice liability, so she has no choice but to comply. In 3-10 days she will be released. Her sister will be taking FMLA to live with her for a couple weeks afterwards, and she will have to take a couple hours out of every day for a couple weeks to return to the hospital, or risk arrest. Best snippet from our conversation "I asked the doctor, like, doesn't everyone have suicidal thoughts sometimes? Like is it really that big a deal that I have to stay here? And the doctor said, "Yeah, suicidal thoughts are very common and probably not that big a deal, but as soon as you mention them I have to hold you, just due to liability." While I do not want to discourage people who truly need help from seeking it, be aware that this is a possibility. Suicide is taken very seriously. [link] [comments] |
Posted: 04 Feb 2018 11:12 AM PST NY. Long story, I've lived in my co-op for 50 years with no issues or complaints ever. A new tenant moved into the unit above me a year and half ago and it's been a living hell. To start they felt it was alright to move in with their furniture and do construction between the hours of 1am and 5am this went on for a month before I put a copy of the co-op noise rules on their door as a peaceful way to resolve this. This did not work at all and made matters worst because every night after that they would bang, drop heavy objects on floor and constantly drag furniture. I called the cops a few times but they would do nothing and told me to take it up with the co-op. After putting a few more notes on their door almost begging them to stop the late night banging it finally came to a head one night at 2am in which they were hammering and I went upstairs banging on their door in a rage and end up putting a dent in their door which they called the cops and I got arrested for disordley conduct which was later dropped. Of course things only got worst as it seemed at this point they were making noise just as harrassment and retaliation. I finally complained to the co-op and they sent him many letters but he was unfazed and kept up the late night noise. I then started logging the noise time and what particular noise it was and submitted it to the co-op. The lawyer for the co-op finally sent them a 30 day notice to cure or they would start terminating their lease. It's a little harder to evict someone because they own the co-op so it would be the lawyer forcing them to sell their co-op which is very difficult. Of course the noise continued and they didn't take the lawyers letter serious. I continued to complain to the co-op but after a year of going back and forth it seems the co-op doesn't want to deal with this and keeps blowing me off. It seems the lawyers letter was just a threat and they had no intention of following through. I can't begin to describe the hell I've been through with this, my physical and mental health has really took a decline over this I've ended up in a mental ward for a week at one point and had to quit my job because of a lack of sleep. Of course I know moving is a solution but after being here 50 years I feel I shouldn't have to be the one to move. So if the co-op is not going to do anything can I file a lawsuit on the grounds that the co-op is not enforcing their own written rules? [link] [comments] |

Posted: 04 Feb 2018 09:42 AM PST My sister told me yesterday that she called the cops on her husband who was in a violent rage. He did not hurt her or her two kids (ages 5 and 2.5) but physically destroyed several things around the house before she called the police. He was arrested and charged with domestic battery and destruction of property. There is currently a restraining order on him to stay away from her & the kids until his court hearing Monday. I had no idea the extent of it because she kept it all from me (I live several states away so it wasn't all that difficult), but apparently his anger issues and destructive tendencies have been a reoccurring problem for basically their entire relationship (about 4 years). So this has not been a one-time incident, but rather hallmark DV over the course of several years. Her husband has a gun (my sister thinks it's a Ruger 9mm but I don't know for sure) that my dad sold him within the state of Utah a couple years ago. According to my dad, no paperwork/registration was needed for a gun sale of that nature in the state of Utah. During the course of the DV, he would often threaten to shoot himself or harm himself with said gun. My sister told me she would hide it in various places around the house to keep him from getting to it, and would keep the ammo in a completely separate location from the gun. (I know how incredibly dangerous that is with two young kids, even if gun/ammo are separated. If I would have known...) She is incredibly fortunate (if that's even the word to use in this kind of situation) that no one has been seriously injured or hurt because of the gun [yet]. I know she needs to get the gun out of her house ASAP, but I also know that she needs to make sure it is 100% above the table and also won't have any repercussions on any future custody/divorce proceedings that could somehow weaken her case or chances at getting full custody of her child. A few questions:
He is a legal US resident but does not have citizenship (I don't know whether this affects anything, gun-wise or otherwise). [link] [comments] |
General question about what crosses the line to malpractice Posted: 04 Feb 2018 06:12 AM PST I see a lot of questions on here regarding specific situations, but I'm wondering if anyone can provide more general information regarding when the line of malpractice is actually crossed. The general summary is I think that extreme incompetence and disorganization has put my loved one through over a month if torture and pain. The situation is ongoing and I don't want to provide too much detail here. Beyond the clarification I'm asking for, how do you look for a malpractice attorney? Should an initial consultation cost money or not? I'm not looking for an 'ambulance chaser.' It's a stressful and awful situation, I don't know what to do, I don't have experience with attorneys or legal matters. Thank you. Edit: location is in both MD and DC Edit 2: I am talking about medical malpractice. Apologies for not including originally [link] [comments] |
(IA) Am I allowed to enter this home? Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:33 AM PST In 2008, my dad and stepmom got married and built a house. In December 2017, they got divorced, and my step mom moved to Colorado. In the divorce settlement, they agreed that my step mom would finish paying off the house and my dad would continue to live there. Shortly after my step mom moved out, my dad brought home a new girlfriend. She started living there very shortly after. Turns out she was kind of crazy and my dad once woke up to her standing over him saying "I could have killed you in your sleep." Shortly after, at some point in January, my dad told her she needed to leave, but she wouldn't move out. Yesterday, they got into a fight, and my dad was arrested for domestic violence. Right now he is in jail, and has court today. I am a student attending University, so my dad phoned a close friend who had a key to our house asking him to go watch the place. This morning the friend woke up to the woman and the police at the door saying he needed to leave because the woman currently has custody of the house, because she has her mail sent there even though she's only been living there a little over a month. The current fear is that my dad won't be able to return to the house because she got a no-contact order against him yesterday. My question is, am I allowed to enter the house? On my license, it lists my mom's address as my permanent address, so I'm worried that might mean I can't enter. Although when I visited home from University, I spent a majority of my time at the house in question. I have my own bedroom there and a key to the house. The reason I'm concerned about being able to enter is because we have a business physically established in the basement that I have a stake in, as well as some of my own possessions being in the house. Edit: I don't know if the woman has a place of her own or not but she doesn't pay any rent or bills here. There was no lease signed, the only proof of residency she has is her having her mail sent there. My dad is the only one with the address listed on his license. [link] [comments] |
Cause of death is not clear. Cancer or Suicide (from medical help refusal) Posted: 04 Feb 2018 05:26 AM PST My wife was diagnosed with late stage breast cancer in 2010. She passed away in 2016 after a tumultuous 6 years as her primary caregiver and from raising our 3 young children through this ordeal. Almost 2 years later, I am able to take another look at this situation as the brain fog has lifted from the anxiety and confusion. [link] [comments] |
"Underage" sexting legal advice Posted: 04 Feb 2018 09:42 AM PST Howdy, Late last night while using a hook up app, I matched with a "girl" whose profile claimed she was 18 years old. I messaged her and she responded with a few short messages before giving me her number and asking me to text her. We texted back and forth a few more times before she asked for "a pic". When I asked of what, she said "it doesn't matter." Instead of sending her my own penis, I found some pictures online that I sent to her, and asked if she would return the favor. She sent one or two photos that I wouldn't call sexual in almost any way, and then one of a pretty explicit shot from behind. After that, the conversation fizzled out and I went to bed. This morning I woke up to a voicemail from a "private investigator" saying that I needed to be in contact with him soon over a very serious legal matter involving a minor, or he would be "forced to turn things over to law enforcement." I called and he told me that the girl I exchanged photos with is actually 17 and that the parents are considering legal action meaning I could be charged and found as a sex offender. He goes on to say that last night, after I sent the photos to said "girl", her "mother" found the pictures and things turned domestic, resulting in a broken glass door and the police having to come out. The "father" hired this PI to contact me and let me know that they'd like restitution for the glass door that was broken, and the PI fees (~$1600) or they would press charges against me. I had just woken up and was scared, so I told him that I would see what I can do financially, and I would call him back as soon as I had an idea. I called my brother and let him know the situation, and he believes its a shake down for cash. After hearing his rationale, I'm inclined to believe the same based on the following:
Other than the one phone call I had with him, I haven't spoken anymore with the "PI". So my questions are this: Does this sound like a scam to you guys? If so, should I simply ignore and move on? If not, and it turns out to be real, what legal precedence do they have, since the girl never revealed to me that she was actually under 18. Thank you r/LegalAdvice [link] [comments] |
Cut out of my father's will? (Canada) Posted: 04 Feb 2018 03:47 AM PST My father always told me that he would leave equal share of our home (approximately $750,000CDN) to all 7 children. After he died, my brothers and mother sold the house immediately and bought my mother a town home (as far as I know, she was not named in the will). Recently, one brother divorced his wife and sold his home, absorbing my mother's town home. During the past 8 years, 4 of my siblings have flaunted their unexplained wealth in the form of property purchases, home renovations and investments while I am led to believe that myself and two other siblings were cut out of the benefits. This past summer my mother slipped up and told me I should expect my inheritance soon because my brother was "moving in" with her and when I asked her a week later about when I should receive it she backtracked and said there was no money. The numbers aren't adding up. I'm contacting the Canadian registries to request a copy of the death certificate and a copy of the will. I'm trying to collect proof/evidence of fraud but whenever I ask someone about it they are super shady and dismissive with their answers. The reason I'm pushing with this is because I've suffered from depression and anxiety over the years which has caused me to build up a lot of debt which I'm eager to reconcile. I just want what is rightfully mine. Once I have the will, I'm not sure how to proceed with requesting my inheritance. Will I have to sue? Feedback and advice is welcome. Thank you. *EDIT: MY parents had a tumultuous relationship and my mum was notoriously bad with her finances. She suffers from depression and behaves quite infantile relying on her sons to help her with her finances and make decisions for her. When my father died she complained she wasn't named in it while at the same claimed there was nothing for me. In a moment of vulnerability this summer I say she slipped up because she told me that each of the kids could expect up to 70k after the sale of my brother's house. A week later I reminded her of this and asked when I could receive the money or even half and she told me she would ask my brother to which she came back and replied that she needed it and wouldn't be able to fulfill her "promise". I still believe there's a fraction of the money left that's being divided among my 4 siblings and my mum. Because I'm a younger sibling I'm not very close with them and they think very little of me. My relationship is weak with my mum as she sort of neglected to care for me as a child. I believe they don't really know me and think I wouldn't put the money to good use or whatever.

(OH) Infestation of bed bugs at work, can I call health dept. & sue for damages? Retaliation? Posted: 04 Feb 2018 09:29 AM PST We have had an ongoing problem at work with bed bugs. I dont know if it classifies as in infestation, but it has been going on for years and they're reported by multiple employees a week. I finally got them. The work place is a multi-level office space. If they find a bed bug they only treat one small area, usually just the desk. If anyone knows bed bugs this does NOT cure the problem. They will just run somewhere else. They are behind pictures, in outlets, in cracks, and they hitch rides easily. They've known of this problem for years but fail to actually bring in an exterminator or treat it correctly. If I have to throw away all my belongings or treat my house are can they be held liable for the damages? There is a paper trail of all the times bed bugs were found, including emails to my boss. My estimated damages would most likely exceed small claims court if I needed to throw out furniture, so what kind of lawyer would I be needing? Also, is this something I can report to the health department? I dont know if this is something they deal with. I'm also scared of retaliation from my boss if i'm unable to report it anonymously.

Shared yard, neighbors dog poop is everywhere Posted: 04 Feb 2018 10:14 AM PST So I live in a 2 family house in the midwest (Illinois). I live upstairs and neighbors live downstairs on the 1st floor. I'd like for my neighbors to pick up their dog poop from the yard but I'm not sure how to approach this because 1) I have no relationship with them. I literally never see them. 2) I don't want this to lead to friction between us or if I bring it up perhaps they'll wanna go tit for tat and bring up their own annoyances. How should I approach this? I know I should talk to them but I feel awkward because it's an awkward situation and because I literally never communicate with them. I checked my lease and it doesn't mention anything about the shared yard space. I'm not trying to roll around in the grass or anything but it's just a lot of poop and it smells bad in the summer.

Bought a laptop on Craigslist and it is not what the ad said it was Posted: 04 Feb 2018 07:13 AM PST Basically, I bought a laptop and the model is not the same as in the ad. The guy installed a software so it looked like the computer was better than it actually is on the Windows specifications, but I restored the computer and the specifications changed. Is this illegal? I've got the guys telephone number but he denies it and says I changed it. What can I do? (Spain) [link] [comments] |
