| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 07:38 AM PDT My Fiance interviewed and was offered a position with a home health office with more flexible hours so that she may attend university this fall. 4 days before she was to start with the future employer they contacted her and told her that they were issued a cease and desist letter from her current employer and rescinded the offer. She requested a copy of the letter but neither party would provide her a copy, just a base verbal description with no real detail. She would like to know if there is any legal action she can take against her current employer for directly blocking her employment prospects and not offering her old position back to her in the interim. This is in California if that means anything and the cease and desist is supposedly due to her potential new employer poaching patients and staff from her current employer. She was not poached and she approached this position on her own volition. Is she shit out of luck, or is there something she can do? Thanks. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2020 06:16 PM PDT I run a hobby shop in New York state. I have a supplier who i have worked with for years, who typically sends me my product via UPS. UPS has been massively delayed due to COVID, i went from getting orders multiple times a week to basically almost nothing for the last 8 weeks. I had nearly a 100 packages sitting in UPS distribution center, some of them have been forever stuck in the state of "Out for Delivery" for weeks now, to things basically entering the black hole of the local distribution center weeks ago with no updates. This hurt my business pretty bad (which was already suffering due to COVID) as a lot of this stuff was items people had ether pre-paid or waiting for me to get my hands on. On June 26th when i was more or less in bed, i suddenly got a slew of delivery notifications from UPS around 10 pm. Since i live a good 45 minutes away from my store, i freaked out and by the time i managed to get there. The stuff delivered had been taken, i checked the CCTV for my store entrance and probably 10 minutes after UPS dumped the packages some people came by and picked up all the items and took off. I made a police report and passed it along to UPS as they had completely screwed up. On Friday i got an update and UPS had closed all my claims stating that it was signed for. The signature was basically the word COVID. Which from my understanding is UPS not requiring signatures due to COVID. The following blame is going around in a circle:

| State patrol fucked up my rental car during search Posted: 06 Jul 2020 08:06 AM PDT I 23f rented a car for a vacation, driving home I was in Missouri and was stopped by state patrol who searched my vehicle. This was in the middle of the night and I didn't realize until the next day that they really messed the car up. There is storage space in the trunk of the car that they broke and they got mustard from a half of a sandwich all over the floor and upholstery. They also dumped out medication which I cleaned up but I'm worried there might be loose pills in the car still. Since I am under 25 I did purchase full coverage for the car, but I I am unclear on if that covers damage on the inside caused by other people. I have to return it pretty soon I would really like some input and or advice. It's also relevant, I'm sure, That there was state patrol a sheriff and the police officer present, I did not get a ticket or even a warning there is no paper trail. [link] [comments]  |
| Threatened to have the cops called for breastfeeding on my own property. Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:43 AM PDT (Richmond, VA) I was outside in our backyard this morning with my 2.5 year old and my 5 month old. 5 month old is hungry so I feed him outside because it would just be a pain in the ass for me to drag both kids inside only for 10 minutes of breastfeeding. Also, 2.5 year old was in the swimming pool which is even a bigger pain in the ass to get her out of because...well...toddlers. My neighbor, who's an older woman, then tells me I need to put a cover over my child's face. I politely tell her that it's almost 90° and way to hot for a cover. She then tells me that if I do it again, she's going to call the cops for indecent exposure and I remind her that I'm on my own property and that breastfeeding is also 100% legal. She tells me she doesn't want to see it and she's calling them the next time I breastfeed outside. I just want to make sure I'm 100% right in this case. To my understanding, breastfeeding is exempt from being classified as indecent exposure. I'm not walking around my backyard topless or anything, and I usually do the 2 shirt method to prevent as much skin showing at possible, but with the hot temperatures, I was wearing a tank and it was easy to just plop the one teet out for a quick feed. We do have plans to build a privacy fence around the whole backyard but that won't be until this fall when the temperature starts to lower again. Thanks for any help/input! [link] [comments]  |

| my mom kicked my brother (21M) and me out and left us stranded in mexico (16F) Posted: 06 Jul 2020 09:36 AM PDT My mom kicked my brother and i our almost 10 days ago. We went to go see our dad in mexico for about 2 weeks and 8 days into the trip she began to ask for questions about my stepbrothers and stepsisters and how many kids my dad had and asking for pictures of them and my brother and i ignored her and she freaked out. She began texting me and my brother telling us we're "ungrateful bastards" and telling us to stay in mexico if we love our dad so much. She cut off our phones and our plane tickets and my dad had to scrap up some money to buy us plane tickets back. We saw her at the airport (because we had the same flight back to the city) and she completely ignored us. I went up to her and asked her if she had one of my papers i needed to get back to the U.S and she said "no. you guys aren't even supposed to be here. get the fuck out of my face." (I was able to get back to the U.S but i had to pay a fine of 575 pesos for not having the paper ) Once we got to the city where my mom left her car our cousin picked us up at the airport and drove us to our aunts house and my aunt went to pick up my mom and we waited at my aunts house for my mom. My aunt came home and told us that my mom didn't want to talk to us and she left us there and drove home. My brother had called his friend in advance to pick us up at the border and is now letting us stay at his house for the time being. I am in a predicament due to the fact that i have about a month left to sign up for college but i am unable to sign up due to being 16 and not having an actual address. Since my stepdad was in the navy i get free schooling and i also get paid $1,200 a month. If i'm able to sign up my brother and i could rent an apartment together because my brother is also under the same program i am. can anyone give me any help on what should i do? TLDR: Mom kicked my brother and me out and i cant sign up for college because of it [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 09:36 AM PDT Some context/background: I worked at a small privately owned travel agency in a small office for 2 years. In the office we do not have our own desks, we have to sit somewhere new all the time. Because of this we all had "cubbies" with our names on them to store our things at the end of each day. On March 16th, the start of the Covid-19 wave, I was sick. I informed my boss I wasn't feeling well that day and they permit me to go home. I packed all of my things on my desk into my black mesh wire magazine rack. The items within were of course office paperwork, some personal photo's (myself and my gf depicted in them) and my Razer Naga mouse/mousepad. I then placed the whole magazine rack right into my 'cubbie', with my name on it, as I do at the end of every day. That same day I went to the doctor's to be seen for my illness. I was tested for a few things but they made me aware that they can't treat me for Covid, which was fine. Because of this however, they told me I should assume I have it and quarantine for 14 days. They gave me a Dr. note and I called my boss and let her know. They thought it was a good idea for me to quarantine and had no issues. Fast forward 4 days to March 20th and I get a call from my boss informing me that the office was going to be making motions to work from from and the office would be closed. Had I seen this coming, I would have taken my personal belongings home. However, I had no idea the office was going to close, and I couldn't come in after my Dr. visit because of potential Covid infection. Over the past 3/4 months I was not working from home as I didn't have the equipment needed. I kept in touch with my boss via e-mail getting reassurance I'd be made aware when the office will re-open. On June 25th I got a phone call from my boss telling me I will not be coming back to the office, along with a few others because they're downsizing. This posed it's own issues but not what this post is about. I was very cordial, professional, and accepted my fate. My personal belongings were not on my mind and I ended the call. A few days later I realized my items in the office, I texted a co-worker to see if she saw the items (the office re-opened on July 1st). She couldn't find my things. I e-mailed my boss on that day explaining the items that were missing were important to me, expensive & were left in my 'cubbie' with my name on it. I simply stated that I'll be needing the items back. I received a reply this morning, July 6th, from her stating that the office has gone under an extensive remodel whilst everyone was working from home. Her exact words in her e-mail are: "Many items throughout the office were discarded if they did not seem to have any clear ownership. I did look for them and was unable to locate your mouse or photo's. It was likely discarded throughout the overhaul". This baffles me because the items were in a wire basket with my name on it. There were hundreds of documents with my name on it, photo's with me in them, the 'cubbie' itself had my name-tag on it. It doesn't get any clearer ownership than that. I have her e-mail with admittance that they likely were just thrown away. I have not replied to her and am hoping I can get some advice here on how I can proceed/what I can do. I know this mouse is only about $80 to re-buy now but this company over the years I've seen that they just treat employee's like garbage and basically the mentality is "You're replaceable". I don't want them to get away with this, nor do I think I should be responsible for replacing my items when I left them where they were clearly marked as mine. tl;dr The last time I was in my office (March 16th) I left my personal items and was not allowed back in due to Covid-19 and office shutting down - three months later I'm fired and told my Razer Naga mouse & personal photo's were "likely discarded" - What do now?

| Can my employer really require these tests? Posted: 06 Jul 2020 07:15 AM PDT Hello r/legaladvice! I apologize if this question isn't entirely appropriate for this page. If you know of a better place for me to ask this, please let me know! I recently started a new job (I work in healthcare in PA) and have been going through the typical new-hire process. My employer requires a physical, which I have booked. However, they also want records of my recent Pap smear, mammogram, and some other tests that no employer of mine has ever asked for before. I'm 24, so I definitely am not at the age to get a mammogram. I am also extremely uncomfortable providing my employer with any gynecological exams and their results. I feel like this is very invasive. I don't see how my gyno exams pertain to my employment. If I were to refuse to provide these results, do I have the grounds to do so? [link] [comments]  |
| Can a prospective landlord ask you to prove you have reserve funds in an application? Posted: 06 Jul 2020 06:13 AM PDT I'm apartment hunting right now. A property management company ask for a credit score and proof income of 3x the rent. Normal. Then they asked me to provide evidence of a cash reserve that has 3x the amount of rent as well. I've never been asked that before. Personally, I do have an emergency fund but it feels like a funky question. Is this allowed? [link] [comments]  |
| [MA] I am getting divorced and looking to buy a house. is there a way I can protect the house Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:35 AM PDT I am getting divorced and we are selling the house we owned together. I may be able to buy a new house right away but we will be moving before the divorce is final. Is there a way to protect the new property I buy from the divorce? My ex will likely be willing to sign something as the divorce is pretty amicable. I just want that extra bit of reassurance. [link] [comments]  |
| Plastic surgeon refuses to refund my down payment Says it's non refundable Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:46 AM PDT I made a down payment of over 1,000 to schedule a date for surgery a month later the doctor canceled and moved it to another date. I decided that I didn't want the surgery because I wouldn't be able to travel on that day so I requested a refund. Now they're saying that it was a nonrefundable payment even thought they never mentioned anything about the policy before I paid or even have it listed in my payment quote. What can I do? Help me :( they're ignoring my calls and texts [link] [comments]  |
| I've found myself a part of someone's bankruptcy Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:29 AM PDT TL;DR: I closed my home-based business 4 years ago, but someone is using the business name and address (both in Virginia) as the contact information for a Lady in California who is filing for bankruptcy in a California court for a New York-based business. Necessary background detail: I have lived in Virginia for the last 26 years, with the last 10 years being at my current address. I ran a business out of my home at this address from 2008-2016 before shutting it down after my spouse died, not because of a bankruptcy. I've never filed, nor did my spouse ever file. This past March, I received a letter in the mail that appeared to be junk mail. Even though my business is closed, I still get spam mail addressed to the business and I assumed that this was one of those pieces of mail. So, I tossed it aside, not thinking much about it. The one thing that stood out to me as being junk mail is that this letter is addressed to my closed business with my current residential address, but also includes the name of another business at the top, almost like my current address is registered to 2 businesses (which it is not). I Googled this other business and found that it's located in New York City. Again, I am in Virginia. But, It happens frequently that I get junk mail, phone calls, emails, text messages, and most often, the name they are asking for is not mine. i assume someone along the way has sold my phone number/address/email to marketing companies and that company attaches a random name to it. So, I thought these letters were junk. I received another letter about a month later that looked similar, but again, I tossed it aside. But today, another letter has arrived and this time I opened it. It appears that someone in California filed for bankruptcy in a California court. This person has a name that is not mine, but is using my closed business name and address to have their bankruptcy documents sent to. The letter in March and April were notices of hearing postponements because of COVID, with this last letter received today, July 6, an "Order of Discharge." I assume they finally went to court and bankruptcy has been granted to this unknown person? To add, I've never lived or even visited California, much less registered a business there. My question is: does this affect me at all? Do I need to be worried? Someone who is not me, with a very different name from me, with a business name that is not mine, has somehow gotten their lawyer, trustee, and the California courts to use my address and business name. Obviously, this could have been a complete mistake, but I've had instances of identity theft and am not sure if this is it. I have contacted the phone numbers on the documents and left messages, but in the meantime, I am curious to know if anyone has encountered this and if I should be concerned. I genuinely appreciate any response and thanks for reading. [link] [comments]  |
| HELP! Peeing on the side of the highway in an emergency Posted: 06 Jul 2020 09:49 AM PDT So I understand that public urination is illegal and punishable in the state of Oklahoma by a fine and possible jail time. I got a flat while on the I -40 and couldn't make it to the next exit. I've been waiting over 40 minutes for the tow truck and I'm about to pee myself in the car. If I do my best to hide behind a tree, given the obvious emergency with my car would I be fined/ticketed for the offence? Any advice would be great!! EDIT: there's a barbwire fence about 30' from the shoulder and only a thin line of small scattered trees in front of it. So there's nowhere to walk that's out of sight from the highway.

| Business that took over my space is advertising on my behalf that I'm reopening. CO Posted: 06 Jul 2020 05:03 AM PDT I've been in business in a space for 30 years running a restaurant. After paying rent every month for 30 years on time the landlord decided to screw me and colluded with another restaurant to take over the space I've been in. The media got wind of it by running some articles on the news and the new restaurant knew they screwed themselves and already gave them a bad image for doing a hostile takeover. I decided that I'm not going to relocate and open up shop but the new restaurant advertised on their social media they'll "help us" and "buy gift cards to our restaurant" after people commented how terrible they are for taking over our spot. So therefore they're using us for false advertising purposes and I think they hurt our business by saying they'll be buying our gift cards and saying they'll help us in whatever they can to move into our new spot. Do I have any legal recourse? Thank you so much in advance for your help and I'm located in Colorado USA! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:24 AM PDT My little sister, who my family believes, is showing signs of schizophrenia and is possibly in a delusional episode, has had my mother arrested and called family services on my brother-in-law, accusing him of molesting my sisters daughter. They were looked at by child family services both on accusations of child sexual assault. My sister is in a total delusional State and now my mother is in jail and my family is in complete shock. I know that my mother is innocent as well as the rest of my family and that my sister is responsible for this incident and I'm not really sure why she would do this, but she is not of sound mind. My 73 year old mother who has never been in trouble with the law and lives in a retirement home is sitting in a county jail on charges that state she sexually assaulted my 4 year old niece. She has been her babysitter from time to time since she was 3 months old and I've never seen anything but love between the two of them. Never in my wildest dreams would I be here writing this, im desperately seeking help in order to navigate the legal system for my mother. I tried to find out when she has court and the jail refuses that information. How do I find out how to bond her out and are there any attorneys who specialise in cases where people are wrongly accused of such a heinous act. I'm really worried about my mom and I need help.

| Lied to DCS to cover for parent [NC] Posted: 06 Jul 2020 10:35 AM PDT As a minor (15 y), I lied to the Dept of Children's services at my father's behest when he broke my younger sister's arm. I told them it was an accident and that he would never hurt a child. It broke in such a way that it is extremely rare for it to be anything but abuse. He was a very violent man towards all of us. He actually wound up losing custody of her (and another sister) a few years later for something unrelated. (Drugs) I'm now at a loss as to what to do. As an adult, do I report it? If it matters, she is an adult now too. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 01:33 PM PDT Hello, everyone. Recently a dog breeder and I had a misunderstanding about the price of a puppy. The contract that we signed states: "A non-refundable Deposit of $300 will be required to hold your placement on the list for a puppy. At 6 weeks of age, the rest of the payment of $1200 will be due." From this, I was led to believe that the total cost would be $1200, which would include the deposit. I thought it was pretty clear cut, so did not think to ask for clarification. Breeder is now asking for $1500 total including the deposit. They claim this was the stated price. Did they word this contract poorly, or did I totally look at this the wrong way? What can I do now? Thanks in advance for your advice! [link] [comments]  |
| Owner of another pizza store threatens to sue the owner of a pizza store that I want to buy Posted: 06 Jul 2020 01:30 PM PDT Before one business owner owned two shops of the same name which were not franchise in Ontario. He decided to sell his business to two different people. One of them ran their business successfully, store A, and the business never changed hands again. He opened one more location with the same name. The other owner, store B, struggled and couldn't keep the store. It changed hands two times and each time the name remained the same. Now the last owner of store B wants to sell his pizza store to me but owner of store A threatens to sue store B if they fail to change the business name. He says he has filed something through his lawyer that prevents us from acquiring the business name. The selling price of store B depends on the intangible assets like its business name and location. What rights do we have against store A owner and can he do such a thing? [link] [comments]  |
| Given a disease but the culprit is no longer alive? Posted: 06 Jul 2020 02:50 PM PDT I asked this on NoStupidQuestions and it seems to be feasible so I'm looking for a bit more info. Can you sue someone for giving you a disease? And if so, do they have to be currently alive? I won't go into too much detail but I recently caught a disease that required hospitalization and some traumatic procedures shall we say. Unfortunately the persons responsible for this are off in the grand beyond. Is there any compensation I can claim from their estate for this horrific ordeal? I believe I caught their disease because of their recklessness and lack of concern. Thanks. [FL, US] [link] [comments]  |
| Samsung Galaxy Burst into flames Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:23 PM PDT Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930W8) Purchase Date: December 30th, 2016 (TELUS) (Vancouver Canada) On July 3rd roughly 8am, I was leaving my apartment for work. I had just kissed my wife goodbye for the day and asked my 1-year-old to pass my phone from the kitchen table. Gave her a kiss and proceeded to my underground parking lot with my phone in my hand. Once I got downstairs to my vehicle, I put my phone in my back pocket for a moment while I unlock my door. Once unlocked, I opened the door and put the phone on the passenger seat. I started the car and let it warm up like usual. Once ready I put into drive... moved 6 feet and the phone exploded next to me. I freaked out and got out of the car quickly. I turned back and noticed a small flame on my seat, I reached across to put it out, grab my phone and tossed it to the outside ground. I proceeded to pour water on it. I did capture the audio and glow of the flame on my dashcam. Samsung is requesting I send them the phone, but I don't feel that is right without legal advice. I am still in shock, as this thing is with me every day. I love technology a lot, but this has me scared a bit. I am sure I will get over it, but I am not sure what to do? Note: Phone lived in an otter box commuter case since I purchased it. Any Advice helps.Samsung Recal [link] [comments]  |
| My 14 y/o daughter sent explicit photos to about 7 guys. Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:50 AM PDT My daughter came to me crying the other day saying that when she was 13, she sent sexually suggestive photos on Snapchat to about 7 guys some being minors, and some being overage. Luckily, she didn't put her face in any of these photos, but from reading posts similar to this situation, people are saying that this could put my daughter behind bars, and have her registered as a sex offender for producing and receiving CP. My daughter blocked everyone on her Snapchat, and deactivated her account. As far as I know, these boys don't have her photos, but if they did, she's afraid that authorities will find them, and arrest her. I'm not quite sure what to tell her since I'm not educated on the topic, but should we get a lawyer? Is my daughter in danger? (State: Missouri) [link] [comments]  |
| Ohio - Can my employer reduce everyone's PTO halfway through the year? Posted: 06 Jul 2020 11:41 AM PDT The company I work for, which has around 75 employees, announced today that because of Covid everyone will be working 10~ more hours a week. We're all salary, so that means no overtime. But then they also announced that everyone will be losing 7 days of PTO this year even if you already have it scheduled. They don't give us Holidays off so if you want Christmas you have to use your PTO. I couldn't find anything that is really clear stating whether or not an employee can do this since it should be in our contracts. Edit: more information on how PTO is accrued. Our HR platform explicitly states that we get X hours, accrued "Annually, on the first day of the period". [link] [comments]  |
| How to remove a sub-tenant in Ontario past their agreement date Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:14 PM PDT Here is my situation... I signed an agreement with a lady on April 28th, 2020 for my place in the Waterloo. The agreement was that she can live in the place from May 1st, 2020 to July 1st, 2020. She paid me $600 in post-dated checks and gave me a $300 security deposit. Upon leaving the place I received messages about how disgusted the place was, how she should live there for free, and how her interested in the place got me all my other sub-tenants. I told her if she was not happy with the place she could leave and I would return her all her money. After that she decided not to leave but continued to send harassing messages such as, "my energy is not free" and "everything is going to come back on you". Numerous emails later of trying to work things out with her and her incidents of harassing the other sub-tenants and no budge. She threw out the other sub-tenants food from the fridge and locked him out of the house by throwing his shoes on the lawn. I emailed her and called her reminding her the move out date giving her plenty of time to move out months in advance, but still got no answer from her. Now come July 1st, I make a two hour trip back up to my place in Waterloo to see if she's gone and to get my keys, but she is still there and refusing to leave. I contacted the landlord and tenancy board in which they told me, "she is like a friend staying in your room and she has no legal right to be there because your name is on the lease". That is when I contacted the Waterloo police and the special constables in which they said they were unsure of what to do. I also have gotten no answers from any legal aid advice. Could anyone please help me? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 06 Jul 2020 12:17 PM PDT UPDATE : My bosses exact words to me were " if you dont feel safe at work then you have a choice to make and if someone tries something your free to defend yourself " I had a coworker throw a lit cigarette at me and it burned my arm bad like through a layer of skin bad, I informed my direct supervisor who brushed it off and never reported it. When I went over his head and reported it, I was then harassed by my team and others at the company. Leading to me filing a second report 2 bosses above my boss ... my team was changed as of today. I'm still being harrassed by people at work and am now receiving blocked phone calls from multiple people saying they will find me and my house and I'm a bitch and I'm gonna be "smoked". Is there legal action I can take against the company for the retaliation that isnt being handled by them? I no longer feel safe at work. I'm located in ohio [link] [comments]  |
