| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 03:11 AM PDT I got a pager duty alert tonight, after getting a warning about one of our servers basically becoming unreachable. I arrived, and fixed the issue, but as i was leaving i could hear people faintly talking. So i thought it must be a coworker working late or something so i decided to pop in and say hi. Turns out it was one of our executives having sex with another coworker, in plain sight in her office. I immediately apologized and said i saw nothing and left really fast. Unfortunately not long after that she sent me an email stating we need to discuss what happened last night. A few things:
I am worried and wondering if i should tell my boss, or what should i do legally to protect myself? [link] [comments]  |
| Teaching Naked Children Online Posted: 07 Sep 2018 05:33 AM PDT Question: I work for a company that does virtual teaching (US teachers teaching Chinese students over a Skype-esque platform.) The students are often naked, no pants/shirts, or using the bathroom. We have been told that it is okay to teach nude and exposed children (usually ages 2-16) because we don't have intent to exploit and that intent must be there in order to make it child exploitation/pornography. Is that correct? I was uncomfortable teaching a shirtless female student today and was penalized by the company for not continuing with the lesson after she took her shirt off.

| Mechanic told us car was dead, he resold it. Pa. Posted: 07 Sep 2018 10:45 AM PDT Our mechanic told us our car was dead and a few weeks after he told us he would 'scrap' it for us, we see it driving around (it had some identifying marks on it, joys of poo poo head neighbors and screwdrivers) So we did a carfax and found out that after the mechanic said it was dead that it was 'sold at auction' What action can we take in this? <edit> He advised me that the car was in a non drivable and non repeatable status and told me he could not permit me to take it off of the lot due to safety issues. And then I later find out it was sold at an auto auction when he advised me that it would have to be taken to the scrap yard. [link] [comments]  |
| [Michigan] Disabled brother and mother denied disablity entrance/exit at college and degraded Posted: 06 Sep 2018 09:34 PM PDT Hi. Sorry for spelling mistakes, i just spent the day calming my brother down, it's really hard as i am the provider for my mother, myself, and my disabled brother. I grew up with him, and he was crying and talking about wanting to kill himself all day. It's really hard, as he's completely disabled and it hurts my heart. He's asleep now and i'm done crying myself. Basically, my local college has a wheelchair accessible entrance/exit, where people with disability can catch the Disability Bus / Get dropped off or Picked up. My mom wears a scarf, this important, because the security for some reason always stops my poor old mother and gives her shit constantly. My mom is a frugal little old lady that's been through a lot of shit and doesn't need this, but she always try her best to communicate with her poor English skills. Anyways, The security guard denied my mother entrance, although the Van is clearly marked Wheelchair Accessible (It's a very expensive van that i saved up for a long time to get). The same security officer saw my mom drop off my brother earlier, but for some reason he would not let her in and my brother was on the other side of the barrier. He was blocking the enterence with his car. My brother was on the sidewalk, and the sidewalk is a couple inches high, making it impossible to get down, especially that he's on a 400LB electric wheelchair. Meaning my brother can't get off the sidewalk to cross the parking lot (With moving cars) to get to my mother. She needs to park in the designated disability parking and lower the ramp onto the sidewalk. My mother pleaded with the man as my brother asked him to please move the car as he clearly needs my mother to get into the specifically designated wheelchair pickup/drop off area. The officer then proceeded to harass my mother and brother, and used very vulgar language and yelled at them infront of the whole school. Passerbys confronted the security officer and told him my brother is very clearly disabled and can't leave the school. The officer then started threatening action against my mother and brother and my mom told him that he didn't need to be doing this and that all he needs to do is let her in to pick up her son. The rent-a-cop then said pretty rude things and mocked my brother for being disabled with things like "That's his own problem" (Directed at my brother) and "You brought this on yourself when you had him" (Towards my mother). My brother and mother then had to wait for the entire parking lot to clear, then go back into the school, go to the other side, find someone to hold the doors open for him, then leave, and drive on the side walk for a long time until he could find a bike ramp to get off the sidewalk onto the road. My mother came home crying and my brother shortly after. My mother has spent the entire day in her room. Mind you my mother has attempted to commit suicide before, we haven't exactly had the best life with our dad leaving us and having to care for my disabled brother with her having to tend to his day to day needs whilst i work. My brother has also attempted suicide, and today we had to hold him down and get a knife out of his hand as he was trying to slit his own wrist. We all talked about it and hugged and he's okay now, he's in his bed and i made him laugh a bit. I made my mom laugh and took her out a bit and got her some nice flowers and stuff from the store. To be honest i've just been done crying and my suicidal thoughts have past just now and i was able to bring myself to type this out. Multiple times have called the schools accessibility counselor and complained that:The ramp is too steep. My brother has fallen face first onto the concrete MULTIPLE times within the past 3 Years. My brother has scraped his hands and skinned his elbows on the ramp because it's too narrow and too steep.Today was a first. Never have i seen such cruelty towards a person with disability. I thought it was just a thing in the movies, but this person was legitimate angry at my brother for being disabled and enjoyed taunting him and making his life worst and showed no remorse. I've made a complaint against the security/rent-a-cop to the school right after the incident but they were basically non-caring and sounded like they weren't going to do anything. Now my question is, what can i do? I want to make this right. My brother is probably not going to be going back to college, and it's the only thing that is keeping him happy. He told me he felt embarrassed and didn't want to go back during our talks today, i wanted to take him and go to the deans office. My mother is just a wreck. She already hates her life enough, now it's even more and i fear she might actually kill herself. I wont be sleeping tonight and i keep opening the doors and checking if they're okay, i have all the keys and knives next to me and no pills are out of my sight. I'm sure there are multiple Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) violations, and i'm pretty sure there's some law out there that prevents this kind of harsh mis-treatment. It was very discriminatory and they outright denied my brother use of the wheelchair accessible portion of the building. What can i do? Who can i talk to? How do i do it? Thank you. Update: This has blown up so much, i just was able to see this and all the love and support from reddit is amazing. I love you all and i hope everyone is having an amazing day, thank you for brightening up mine. I will post a update later tonight as i'm reading through the replies and deciding best course of action, thank you all. Update: Ive emailed my states ADA office, as well as forwarded a copy of the complaint to the: and multiple other high ranking school members. I will be calling CoPower tomorrow, as they're closed now. [link] [comments]  |
| Repeatedly found neighbor’s 1-2 year old child wandering alone on the street Posted: 06 Sep 2018 10:48 PM PDT There is a small 1-2 year old child who lives across the street from me who my family and I have repeatedly found (at least five times) wandering alone outside of their house. When we find her out we've led her back home and told the family who lives there that their kid is out. The family seems unconcerned about this. There was one very scary instance where I was about to back my truck out of my driveway, and my dad yelled at me to stop. The girl was sitting/crouching behind my truck on the sidewalk. There was no way I would have seen her if my dad hadn't have happened to be outside at the time. That really shook me up. In the past few months, we will often find her walking around the sidewalk or the street outside her house and my family is getting really concerned. The house she comes from is a large extended ethic family (I live in Hawaii so that's pretty common) with a lot of people coming in and out all the time. They're friendly, but they don't seem very concerned about it at all. Should we call the cops next time we see her out, or CPS? We haven't called the cops in the past because we figured they wouldn't really do anything except tell the family to be more careful... what's the responsible move here? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 06:33 AM PDT Please help! I had to change my flight, it cost $240. I questioned this and was a bit confused as the agent I had previously spoken to provided my new flight information, including confirmation number, without mentioning the fee. Then, while sorting this and providing my card info the agent became frustrated and claimed difficulty hearing me, I attempted to redirect the conversation by asking for a supervisor. My card was charged $240 5x. I believe the 4 additional charges were done purposefully and maliciously. It takes 48/72 hours for the funds to be returned and this greatly affected my travel. I had to move money to be able to return my rental car etc. The person I spoke with after finding the error was unable to offer anything other than more frustration, refusing to offer a solution other than contact my bank, and going silent. Travel day comes, my new flight was cancelled as I was going through the security line first it was mechanical. Then a thunderstorm popped up and my next 2 flights were also cancelled. I was switched to American airlines and rescheduled for the next day. Incredibly frustrating as United had flights sooner but American had authority over my ticket and wouldn't put me back on United. Not being able to access my funds and the following chaos greatly affected me. I was not rude or deserving of being treated like an asshole. How do I handle this? I believe I deserve to be compensated for the abuse of my financial information and the extreme issues it caused. Thanks! * Connecticut BDL [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 07:47 AM PDT I work for a pool cleaning service, and my work day consists of "however long it takes to get my pools done," starting at 9am, preferably. I've been getting overtime the past few weeks, and now my boss is ignoring any hours over 40 and not paying me. Sometimes, she even docks time when I've worked less than 40. She recently made a comment about why I'm "going over 40 hours when it was not authorized." This is the first I've heard about overtime needing to be authorized. Is this legal? [link] [comments]  |
| Boss is pulling my commission because we got robbed. Posted: 07 Sep 2018 10:55 AM PDT I am a manager of peach stands in Denver, CO. I work directly for the company. Part of my pay will come in the form of a commission check at the end of the year based on how much is sold. Last Sunday about 20 thousand dollars was stolen out of our house. The money is the companies. A police report was made as soon as I found out. Now my boss says all of that money will be taken out of mine and my coworkers commission check. I am fairly certain this is not legal and I told my boss this. He claims because we had responsibility over the money and checks he is allowed to take it from our commission. Is he correct?

| My mother was attacked by her sister and her youngest son. Posted: 07 Sep 2018 05:58 AM PDT I am posting on my mom's behalf. This happened last night, Michigan. Quick background: My mother is 40, her sister is 27, and my brother is 17. Her sister has been recently showing signs of major mental issues, showing all tell-tale signs of bipolar and/or schizophrenia disorder. She is a single mother of a 3 or 4 year old. Recently quit her job, has no money, and is displaying self-destructive behavior. My brother is a lifetime trouble maker. Been kicked out of a couple schools. Was living with my mother until he went missing, and was found, drunk and in possession of alcohol, in a car with another person who was drinking. He obtained a MIP and has a court date that he most likely won't go to. He currently lives with people unknown. The sister and my brother showed up at my mothers house late last night after bailing on a bill in a restaurant, with my aunts daughter, who is diaper-less and covered in urine. My mom called the cops, and tried to stall their departure so the cops would show up on time. (Allegedly, there was drugs in the car, with the baby in the car, but I'm unsure of the exact details of that). After getting agitated with my mother for not letting her leave and mentioning "helping her," she began to act aggressive and violent and attempted to damage my moms new phone by throwing it or smashing it. My mom reacted by grabbing her hair to stop her. My aunt pushed her down, and began to strike her while my brother helped her by holding my mother down. She then began to strangle her. I believe my brother thought she might kill her so he made a slight attempt to break it up but it moved on to the outdoors and he pushed her into a bush against the house and they both began to strike her again. In the midst of everything that is going on, sometime during the altercation or after, my aunt and brother trashed some furniture, my aunt took the flat screen tv and drove her knee into the screen. When they began to flee, my brother, who has no license, took the keys and left to get the car. My aunt had left her phone in the apartment and attempted to bang down other people's doors in attempt to use their phone. My brother then pulls up in her car, and my aunt runs with child in hand, "throws" her into the car(according to someone who witnessed, the child was obviously frightened and was aggressively tossed into the car during the fleeing) got in and they left. I just want some advice for my mother. I want to help equip her with some knowledge so that she can handle this situation the best way possible. She is planning on pressing charges on both of them. She plans on going to the hospital for a cut on her backend, and bruising on her throat(she currently is struggling to swallow and mobility with the neck). My mother isn't very financial equipped to handle a situation like this which is why I came here. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Edit: My mother was just informed by the police that she cannot press charges unless the attacker makes a statement. How does this work? The attackers fled. Edit 2: My brother and aunt arrived again this morning. We believe they were attempting to break in to get back my aunt's phone that she left behind. Usually nobody is home but my mother's significant other was home and apparently there was another altercation, and I'm told they attempted to hit him with the car as they drove off again. I've recommended a PPO against both of them and recommended that they contact CPS. On top of being neglected due to finances, I wholeheartedly believe that her child is in physical danger because she is a danger to herself. My aunt likes to talk about killing herself and that she sees demons everywhere and has crazy visuals. And she currently is responsible for the life of a 3 year old. Edit 3: One of my sisters has my aunts phone and can read her up to date Facebook messages, (must be using an iPod, computer or another phone). She admits to someone that she "beat her ass" and deliberately destroyed her stuff. Edit 4: My mother went to the hospital, and after accessing her injuries, the hospital contacted the police. They were told to go to Pontiac and to go in front of a judge and the court ordered that Oakland County is to be on the look out for my aunt and to detain her and to deliver her to the mental hospital. My brother is still a minor so a PPO against him won't happen, for now. [link] [comments]  |
| Can I sue if I get sent to jail for crimes that I didn't do? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 05:18 AM PDT For the past several days I've been pulled over 3 times by police officers. Once 3 days ago and two times yesterday. I was pulled over for expired tags (will renew soon) but I'm afraid that's the least of my worries. You see I have 3 or 4 "warrants" out for my arrest. On the first two instances they accused me of being high or having paraphernalia on me. I explained to them that in 2016 I went to my local court to drop the charges on me of jaywalking as the picture in the mugshot was definitely not me. So it was dismissed and I cleared my name. Now new charges are coming to my name. I was told that they were charges for: paraphernalia/bong, fake plates, jaywalking and that in the paraphernalia charge they had used my name, social, and FINGERPRINTS. In the second stop, the officer was grilling me about it trying to get a confession out of me until I was getting so emotional I couldn't articulate words over being accused of lying about getting arrested and going to jail for crimes I never committed. He even assumed I was high even though I was working. Then the third stop happened 10 minutes later and I just got a ticket warning to get the plates renewed. On the first incident I was told to get out of the car while they searched my car. I just feel so vulnerable as they can get away with locking me up and I can't do anything about it as I don't have a lawyer. How can this guy using my identity get my fingerprints? Can I sue if they lock me up in jail for a crime I didn't do? If I go to court to prove that all these crimes aren't me, will they clear my name so that it won't effect my chances for employment? How do I find a lawyer if I have no money? What will happen if every time the police stop me I plead the fifth? Why is Municipal Court charging me if North Las Vegas Court already expunged the previous charge.? Can they charge the identity thief with more charges because he used a fake name thereby all those charges going to me? Can they prevent him from using my name from now on? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 04:39 AM PDT Basically, I am a Canadian, my wife is from Eastern Europe. We were both working in Europe but have been planning to move to Canada together eventually. We recently both accepted a job offer to work in a performing arts theater in Canada, which requires us to be physically fit. Its been about 2 and a half months since the offer was accepted and the contract is already signed. They are currently processing her visa through Canadian Immigration. First of all, is it immoral for us to continue with this knowing that she will soon be getting larger and unable to perform her duties. We want to come to Canada and this will offer us an opportunity to get her into the country. Afterwards, I was planning on applying for her Permanent Residency while she was in the country as my spouse she is entitled to that and will have status to remain in the country while this is being processed. Also, knowing that she is pregnant now we would like to get into Canada as soon as possible as its a better country to raise our child in that Russia. We are honest people and this situation seems a bit immoral to us, taking advantage of our employers slightly. The other side is that this situation could have happened once we were already in Canada anyways. Basically, looking for advice on how to proceed further. Knowing that we want to stay in Canada with our child-to-be and also would like to maintain a good relationship with our employers. We dont want them to think we scammed them into paying for and filing all of our immigration work just to get her into the country. Any advice is appreciated, Thank you. [link] [comments]  |

| If a Swiss Company dicloses a customer's info, would it be covered under the GDPR? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 11:51 AM PDT The General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy for all individuals within the European Union and the European Economic Area I found an article that made me wonder the title question. In this article, seems like a VPN company revealed a blogger's name and information breaching privacy rules. The VPN blogger seemed to be their affiliate/customer. Now the company is posting his name on official reddit accounts, as well as anonymous medium posts (that have been since deleted), and their company owned blogs. Here is the source of the story: What do you think? Can this blogger sue them for this in a US court or what? [link] [comments]  |
| Landlord keeping dumpster in our driveway for other property Posted: 07 Sep 2018 06:21 AM PDT Medford, MA My friends and I moved into a single family home, with front and backyard, and single car garage on 9/1. We had viewed the property with a realtor in the last week of June and signed the lease (rent for 12 months) in the week following. When we rolled up to the house on 9/1, the siding and roof of the house had been redone. The project seemed almost complete, there were just a few gutters that hadn't been put in yet. There was a dumpster taking up the whole driveway, tools/equipment occupying the garage, and pallets/random wood/ladders/insane amount of trash, nails, and cigarette butts surrounding the house. One of my roommates has a car with no plates (he sent the plates to his home state for replacement, but they were lost in the mail, he has filed paperwork and new plates haven't come yet). He had to tow his car to the new house, where he reasonably expected to be able to park it in our garage out of sight. We had not been told about any of this construction. We're not concerned with the fact that work was done on the house- just that we weren't notified beforehand that we would not have access to any of our outside property/private parking. In the week prior to 9/1 we called the landlord 4 times and left 1 voicemail, just asking to discuss move in day. She never returned our calls. On 9/1 after we got to the house, we called her, left another voicemail, and she finally called back. She said she would come to the house to talk, which she did. We told her about our concerns with the driveway, and her response was "well I didn't know you'd have so many cars." There are 4 adults living here, and 2 cars. Every time we made an observation to her, it was deflected and somehow turned around on us. We also showed her that the brand new windows don't work properly. When opened from the bottom, the window falls down and almost shuts on it's own. Since it was so hot moving in and we needed the windows open, we switched the screen up to the top pane and kept the top of the windows open. When we showed her how the bottom half of the window falls down, she tried telling us that "these types of windows are supposed to be opened from the top," that's why the screen was up there. We told her we had switched it and her response was "oh wow you're so smart." The windows are only one of many things that don't work properly in the house (some doors unable to close or lock, kitchen was put together by 8th graders, whoever redid the siding cut the Verizon lines...). Just so you can get a sense of this woman, when my roommate with the plateless car asked her if she would be willing to reimburse him for buying a car cover (vehicle w/no plates on the street would be ticketed to no end), her attitude changed and she raised her voice saying "I don't like how you're talking to me right now." She also told me that she didn't care that I have a letter from a physician recommending a support dog, she "wouldn't allow it." But I'll deal with that when the time comes. Right now we're just talking about the dumpster. Landlord said that it's taken them so long because there was a lot of rain the previous weeks, and that the dumpster would be gone by the end of this week. The only day anyone has come to the house to do work since we moved in was for about 5 hours on Wednesday. On Wednesday and Thursday, either myself or another roommate witnessed our repair guys driving up to our house in their minivans, and unloading bags of trash into the dumpster in our driveway. The bags contain old dirty wood, certainly not from our property. It seems like the landlord is having another property worked on, doesn't want to pay for another dumpster, and is having the dumpster in our driveway stay here so they can throw garbage from other places in it. She came to the house with one of the repair guys on Wednesday about 10 mins after they did their trash dump. They walked all around the outside of the property, but I couldn't understand what they were saying because they speak Cantonese. Landlord was here for almost 30 mins, and didn't bother to knock/ring the bell (which is done by rubbing 2 exposed wires together), and ask us things like "did you get the kitchen sink working?" Should we speak to someone? Was the landlord responsible for telling us that the house would be under construction and we wouldn't have access to our outside property/parking? Are we entitled to any compensation? Is it legal for her to keep a dumpster here when there's no work being done on our property? Just seems really sketchy to me. Thanks for any advice.

| [US-NY] Why do I pay a cat fee? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 08:35 AM PDT I'm renting an apartment outside Rochester NY and have a cat, so I'm paying the extra $30/month for him. Recently, he found a bug and broke some of our window blinds. I submitted a request for repair to my landlord, and the blinds were replaced. Today, I got a bill for the cost of replacing the blinds. When I spoke to my landlord about this, she said I was liable because my cat did it. So, what am I paying the cat fee for, if not incidental damages? Do I have any recourse? [link] [comments]  |
| Gassed in a swimming pool in China Posted: 06 Sep 2018 11:33 PM PDT I live and work in China, whilst on a layover for work at a major American hotel chain in Shanghai, chlorine was (I presume accidentally) added to the pool whilst I (and other guests) were swimming. The resultant gas cloud caused me to suffer respiratory system failure, be taken by ambulance to ICU, and hospitalised on oxygen for 9 days (off work for 6 weeks). Now the hotel's insurance company has offered me an amount of money that just covers my loss of earnings and a bit extra, and wants me to sign a document absolving the hotel from any responsibility for future health problems. Can anyone help? [link] [comments]  |
| Employee is MIA, what should I do now? Posted: 07 Sep 2018 11:27 AM PDT Sate : FL Business type : LLC One of my employees left early (with my blessing) out of frustration Wednesday, messaged me yesterday that they were running behind, but then never showed and didn't respond to messages asking when they'd be in. They never showed up today either. I tried calling but the line has been disconnected (I know it was previously valid) and have emailed with no reply. I've checked local accident and arrest records with no relevant results. I've revoked their access to sensitive materials as a precautionary measure, but they have keys to the business and have personal belonging in the building. Assuming there hasn't been some reasonable emergency: At what point is it reasonable to call the county Sheriff for well check? Am I correct in assuming that as long as I have their paycheck available for pickup on time I can hold it in the office until they reach out and come to collect it / return their key? (I generally do direct deposit, but it's by no means a promised benefit or requirement so far as I understand) Is there anything else I should be doing? Thank yo for any input. [link] [comments]  |
| [Texas] My girlfriend was evicted but only given a day's warning. Posted: 07 Sep 2018 04:41 AM PDT TL;DR: Is it legal to be given an eviction notice roughly 34 hours before you're told to vacate? She's not fighting the eviction, because it was issued due to nonpayment, but both her and I really don't feel that we got any leeway for the actual eviction process. At 2:00pm on Wednesday the 5th, she was handed an eviction letter stating that due to nonpayment she needed to be out by 11:59pm of the next day, Thursday the 6th. She has the physical copy of the eviction notice that was given to her, and it clearly dates itself at September 5th, and says she has to be out by 11:59pm of the 6th. Obviously it's a complex with it's own rules, and my girlfriend can't be too entitled considering this is all due to nonpayment, but is this legal? Everything we've been reading has been saying that she needs to be given 3 days, but this facility has (in the short time she's been there) been proven to go back on its word and even break its own lease agreement (which is how we were going to attempt to break the lease anyway, originally planned to talk to them about it today before all of this happened). We're lucky that we were talking about her moving in with me anyway so this doesn't hit AS bad, but she's going over this morning to talk to the landlord, as we were unable to get every single thing and she's gonna see if he can give her a little bit more time. But since the landlord has gone back on his word before, I'm afraid of her being denied and then the rest of her things taken from the apartment, since she lives an hour away and after THREE trips in four different cars yesterday (and one trip Wednesday), she still has a few boxes we just couldn't fit. While she was told she couldn't stay past 11:59 last night, the office opens at 9am today and she's hoping she can go over and load up the things she can carry by herself into her car, and then talk to the people there. But basically since I can't help this morning, she would have to wait for her mother to arrive around noon to help with the rest, which is why we're trying to figure out if she would be allowed to stay a few extra hours. If he doesn't allow her to go in and get the rest of her things, what can we do? Take him to court? If we do that, in the meantime will he have the right to throw out the rest of the things in the apartment? All we really want is a few extra hours, but if we're not given that, how can we reasonably proceed? I know these are a lot of 'if's, and in a few hours maybe the landlord will let her in, but I just wanted more information just in case, because at the end of the day, with or without a few extra hours we want to know if this whole situation is even legal. Thank y'all! [link] [comments]  |
| Parent asking me (tutor) to split money from a check with a babysitter Posted: 06 Sep 2018 04:41 PM PDT I am a tutor and was asked by a parent to split a check with his child's caretaker. The check is ~$2,000 and my tutoring fee is ~200. I was unaware of the actual value of the check until it arrived in the mail and was previously under the impression that it would be ~$400-500 and I would be paying the caretaker ~200-300. I have not yet met with any of the family or the student and have only communicated with them online. Is it legal/safe for me to accept the $2000 check and give the caretaker the remaining amount after subtracting my fee, or is this a potential legal or financial issue? I am worried about what this would show as on my taxes or what would happen if (potentially) the poptransaction between the caretaker and parent is illegitimite. Any advice would be appreciated! Edit: Thanks for the replies! I won't be depositing the check and will do further research into the party who sent me the check. Appreciate all the advice! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 07 Sep 2018 01:03 PM PDT No police were called or anything and of course I placed it in a safe direction and shot down towards the ground. (I'm outside of city limits and surrounded by forest on all sides) I just wanted to know the statute I would have needed if law enforcement had showed up. From a local exterminator/animal control company website: A legal term called depredation covers damage being done to your property by an animal. In North Carolina statute, property owners have the latitude to eliminate most animals if they are harming any of your land or possessions. If you catch the animal in the process of depredation, you actually do not even need a permit. Think of this as the "caught redhanded" law. "North Carolina Statute allows landholders to take wildlife at any time with firearms without a permit or license while it is in the act of destroying their property." However I cannot find the actual statute that states this. [link] [comments]  |
| (MA) AirBnB host does a bait-and-switch, now is threatens suit Posted: 06 Sep 2018 08:16 PM PDT I rented an airBnB for around a week before my lease began. The way the airBnB operated was that each room was rented individually within an apartment that the host used as storage, but did not reside in. I had booked the last room available in the apartment, listed as a large room. When I arrived (with much difficulty as the keys were listed in a separate location and the host provided faulty instructions/was unavailable), I found that the host had switched my room with another much smaller room with far less amenities (when I checked it went for around 60% of the rate of the large room), citing that as I was a single occupant and the other booking was a family, that they needed a larger room. This was not discussed with me prior and I was only notified of this by the family that also was with me in the apartment. The family confirmed to me that the airBnB host stated that they would be charged extra and my rate would be adjusted. The airBnB host did not reach out to me about this, and I let airBnB know about the room switch. AirBnB (without my prompting) offered a sizable compensation. The host, upon receiving word from AirBnB about the penalty, threatened to revoke the rest of my booking unless I contacted airBnB. (During this time, I accidentally used items in the bathroom I thought were provided for guests, that the host was actually storing. I replaced those items, brand new for the host, when I found out my mistake.) As I had no place to stay outside of the airBnB before my lease began, I demurred and said I would double check with AirBnB. The host constantly entered the apartment (and my private room) and now that AirBnB has transferred the money back to me the host has contacted me through the AirBnB platform and has threatened suit-- what do I need to do? Can she sue me? Do I need to be worried? Do I reply? The host also required me to send her pictures of my government ID (in addition to AirBnB's verification process, which I have gone through.) What do I do to safeguard my information? tl;dr AirBnB host pulled some sneaky stuff, now wants to sue me [link] [comments]  |
