| Posted: 23 Oct 2020 11:27 PM PDT Hi friends! So I realize that this is going to make me seem like a total Karen, but I hope that someone here can understand where I'm coming from and can offer some advice on what I can do. I live with my two senior parents in a condo building. It's like an apartment building, but rather than renting, everyone owns their apartment. My mom is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer while also working full time. Because of situations surrounding Covid, her treatments happen at 7 am, which means we have to wake up around 5 am on weekends to be ready and there on time. As I mentioned, she also still works full time on top of this as my dad is sick and can't work. I also work full time and go to school, and my dad is sick full time. I'm giving all of this useless background information because I hope that it will help you understand why I'm so upset by this. My upstairs neighbours are an absolute nightmare. Friday through Monday and sometimes on weekdays, they host parties complete with dancing, extremely loud music, yelling and the works all through the night and into the morning. During the day, they blast really loud high bass music and throw things? I have no idea what they're doing, but it always sounds like things are being thrown/pushed/falling/etc. It's clear that they have some problems going on, as they're also often scream fighting with each other for hours. I know that everyone works hard and some people just want to enjoy having fun in their own place that they bought. I'm 24 and not trying to be some bitter killjoy that doesn't get wanting to have fun. But is it wrong for me to feel angry at their behaviour? At first I've tried politely asking building management to kindly give them a call and just communicate our situation to them and ask them to keep it down. That didn't work. I tried knocking on the ceiling to remind them a few times. Didn't work. I tried calling building management again. Nothing changed. So on a Wednesday morning at 2 am when my mom was crying in the living room because she was exhausted and the noise just wouldn't stop, I finally called the cops. I explained our situation to them and they seemed to understand, but when the cop showed up, he didn't really seem to care. I could hear the interaction from our apartment, he just sort of knocked on their door and said "hey kids, enjoy your night but maybe keep it down just a tiny bit aight?" And left. Of course, that didn't do shit to stop anyone and the party just kept going. I thought that maybe it was just this one cop, so I tried again the next week. I got a call from that cop saying "I can confirm that it's just some people having a good time, nothing dangerous going on. Have a good night." I know the local laws and I know that my neighbours are far beyond what's legal both at night and during the day, on weekdays and weekends. I just don't know what else to do. I don't know if I should push things further with management, since I don't think that they can be kicked out. They own their apartment, so I have no idea what management could even threaten them with. I'm desperate at this point and feel so stuck and powerless. The noise doesn't bother me, but I hate knowing what it's doing to my parents. If even the cops won't help, I just don't know what else to do. I'm scared to post this because the reddit community can be really vicious, but I just don't know who to turn to. If anyone could help me think of any solution at all, I would really appreciate it. I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada. Thank you so much. EDIT: I haven't had the chance to read most of the comments since I'm still working, but I've seen some comments suggesting that I go upstairs and talk to them myself, and I just wanted to explain why I'm reluctant to do that. The guy upstairs whom I suspect to be the owner of the apartment is regularly going on screaming and throwing tantrums during the day, though I'm not sure at who in particular. I've also heard physical altercations breaking out during parties complete with things crashing and someone even threatening to throw someone else off their balcony. I want to go talk to them, but I'm genuinely scared. I'm a pretty small girl and there's no one to take care of my parents if anything happens that makes me not able to care for them for a while. When I spoke to management, I did pass them a letter explaining my situation and just asked them if they could either explain it to them or pass my letter along if they don't have the time. I really really appreciate all of the comments that everyone took the time to leave, and just wanted to explain why it seems like I keep trying to get someone else to help me solve this problem. Thank you so much to everyone who commented and I'll be reading everyone's suggestions as soon as I'm done work! EDIT 2: I'm starting to look silly with the amount of times that I'm commenting "Thank you" in the replies, but it's the first thing that comes to mind when reading all of your advice and empathetic comments. The amount of compassion I've received in the comments is overwhelming and I'm so grateful to feel heard and validated in my frustrations. I know that most of you who have already commented won't get to read this, but thank you. You're brightening up an otherwise shitty day. I hope that you'll all get through your own bad situations and I'm sending you all love :) [link] [comments]  |
| Can your employer legally charge you for using materials you require to work? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 03:00 AM PDT The title may not be perfectly worded, but I am a pest control technician in (South) Florida making a 15% commission on the price of exterminating a home. No hourly pay. I've been noticing a discrepancy between what my revenue is, and what i'm bringing home on checks, and even with taxes factored in it seems extremely low... On this particular check my revenue was 15,000 meaning my 15% cut would've been just over 2.2k. My gross pay was 1200, roughly half of that. I worked 70 hours this week and was looking forward to a nice check so this was a really hard blow. I called my boss today and they told me there was no error in my check, they have simply been docking my pay for the cost of the pesticide, this weeks cut being around $900 in chemical. My paycheck does not clearly state anywhere that my gross pay was $2,200 and that $900 went to product, so thanks to them I don't even think I have a way to justify this on my taxes as an expense. Also when they calculate the cost to a client, they factor in the 15% labor cost PLUS the cost of chemical. But since they are charging me for the chemical that doesn't seem to be fair or make sense? I have no say over the purchasing of this product, for all I know they could be buying the premium on my dime. I'm not legally classified as a contractor either, so I don't know what grey area i'm in where they can justify charging me for company expenses. Please help because I am at my whit's end.

| Ex girlfriend won’t move out, started making threats - CO, USA Posted: 24 Oct 2020 09:53 AM PDT (Colorado) My ex broke up with me 4 weeks ago. I spent some time away with relatives and used up some sick days. Having to return to work we started cohabitating again. Prior to the breakup she had unrestricted access to my finances, though it wasn't a joint account, and she has been unemployed by her own choice for 5 years, she is not on my lease. Since returning she has started demanding money, that I leave for another month while she "figures out" what to do next. I've continued to purchase groceries for both of us and pay her phone bill. About a week ago she started escalating things, insisting we were common law married (I've spoken with an attorney and this claim has no standing), she started threatening to "ruin my life" if I don't get her an apartment for herself, and 6 months living expenses. She has started to destroy things, slam doors. I wish I'd recorded this but she said she'd call the police and claim I was throwing things at her. I haven't returned since the last incident. I'm not sure how best to move forward. One firm wants to try getting a temporary restraining order, but I don't think I have enough hard evidence to get one. Another said I need to follow the formal eviction process. Another said to break the lease and move out myself. I don't have enough funds to stay in hotels much longer AND pay any retainer fees if this gets drawn out. I've just stayed away because I don't want the police involved (she is undocumented), nor do I want ice involved. I don't wish her any harm, I just want to reclaim my life, property and move forward.

| My friends home was vandalized as a result of her dox Posted: 24 Oct 2020 09:34 AM PDT I posted a while ago about a friend who was doxxed on Craigslist. Her full name, age, university she was attending, email, picture, and phone number was released. Unfortunately, her apartment has been vandalized. She has contacted the police, and is extremely anxious for her safety now. I have done some internet searching and found out that her dox has also been released on 4chan. What else can we do? Is there a way to hunt down the doxxer and ensure they get justice? We're not even sure if the doxxer is one or multiple people. Location is United States [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 12:51 AM PDT poorly done MS paint representation So my parents are retired and have decided to relocate to another state. They currently live in a mobile home on a decent plot of land in Louisa, KY. Instead of keeping their current property, they've decided to sell to give themselves a bit more cushion, which isn't surprising. But the land has been in our family since the early 1900s. It's the land I grew up on. Given this, I decided I'd buy the land instead of it being sold to an outside party with the intention to build a home of my own to raise my two kids (2 year old and 5 year old -- so plenty of memories to make). The issue is that there is a driveway paved through the front yard and my neighbors use it to access their home. My great grandparents owned the property originally, passed onto my grandmother, then split between my parents and uncle once she passed. The neighbors property was originally my uncles which is why the there wasn't a second bridge built even though he was supposed to build one years ago. Instead, there is a gravel driveway going through the front yard of my parents. My uncle has sadly passed a few years ago and now the property is occupied by his third wife and new husband. There is no recorded easement on the deed. Do I have to provide them access? would there be any legal issue if I built a new house and it blocked access? or am I screwed? Thanks in advanced for any help. TLDR: Buying parents land and want to build house to raise family. Driveway runs through front yard and neighbors use it to get to their property but would be blocked if I built said house. [link] [comments]  |
| My boss is making life hell b/c boss's wife is jealous. Posted: 24 Oct 2020 10:42 AM PDT I've been working as a freelance contractor at a television company. My boss is an old friend I met at a business conference years prior. We kept in touch over the years professionally and recently he decided to hire me at his company as a freelance contractor. I was told if I did a good job and moved to the state the office was working out of (I was working remotely) that I would have the opportunity to be a full-time employee. I worked remotely for the first several months. Things were going great and I brought in profit for the company but oddly, my boss reduced my hours and pay. I was confused as to why but was told the company needed to cut back for a couple months. I then received a very long message from my boss's wife via social media. She began by telling me I wasn't actually hired at my job which was a lie. Although I lived in a completely different state she adamantly accused me of having a sexual relationship with her husband (also untrue). And then asked me a series of ridiculous questions "why are you moving near my husbands work? Why are you contacting him?" etc. I responded that I was moving closer to my work, not her husband and that I usually cc him and 4 other people when contacting him since it's always work related and he's my boss. Additionally, I report to a different co-worker, so I would not be contacting her husband/my boss as frequently. I also stated that nothing has ever happened with her husband; it's always been professional. I did not mention that her husband is unattractive and I'm definitely not interested. She replied that she didn't care what I or her husband said and she had a huge problem with me working for her husband. I assumed I needed to find a new job but strangely my boss never mentioned anything and I didn't mention anything, so after a couple weeks I thought it had just blown over and I would be fine continuing to work. I had a ton of work from the company, so it all seemed to be fine. I made my plans to move states and am now closer to the office. My boss seemed happy with my work and gave me a tour of the office when I arrived in town. I mostly reported to my new co-worker but I was given a project that demanded more hours...this is when things turned more drastically. In the past when I asked for more hours or additional pay for extra work, it was easily given to me. This time I had to repeatedly asked for additional hours in order to complete the work assigned to me and my boss asked for more and more "evidence" and "process" on the right way to ask for more hours. My boss continued to demand I get a ton of work completed but within my hours (which was impossible). I told him the obvious ramifications if I couldn't be approved for more hours (that the work would not be completed). He asked me to "borrow" hours from the future to add to my work time now. I emailed him back that I was hired for a specific amount of hours each week and would not be transferring my hours from the future. It became ridiculous and obvious that my boss was attempting to sabotage the project in order to create a reason to fire me. I considered this a reputation damaging situation. I lost an entire day of work corresponding with him, which meant more time out of my weekend to complete the project. I cc'd my boss's boss on our email exchange and once again repeated that if my hours were not approved the project would not be finished in time. Immediately, my boss replied (removing his boss and my co-worker from the email) and offering me an extremely low additional pay for the additional time. He tried to call me and emailed me that he wanted to explain. I did not pick up and emailed him (cc'd my coworker) that I preferred to keep our conversation on email. My boss asked via email for a phone call. I told him I was mentally and emotionally exhausted by being asked to repeatedly prove my value under a work deadline and it's cost me a day of work, not to mention I now needed to work to get the project (he tried to sabotage) finished in time. Later that day I received a call from my co-worker, who basically offered me a different freelance position, kind of mentioned our boss might not be able to offer me a position with the company (but didn't say why) and mentioned that I should not text my boss because his entire family has a shared line and his family would see it. I said that I rarely text him, but if I do it's always work related. We ended the conversation but after thinking it over, I called my co-worker back and let him know I am actively seeking other employment (did not mention, because I know my boss's wife wants me gone and it sounds like she's making my boss's life a living hell until he gets rid of me), I just haven't found a job yet. And my co-worker let me know that he and our boss are really impressed with my work but yeah, I probably needed to find something more sustainable. So this is where I am... I know I need to find a new job asap, but I wondering if I have a legal case. I loved this job, I am great at it! I know the only reason I'm being treated this way is because I'm a (attractive) female. I moved to California because I was told there was possibility of a future with this company. I'm not sure what to do. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 10:16 AM PDT Florida: *Short Story: I got hired for a mural. They decided to buy another house and asked me to give them an invoice after cutting it off early. I invoiced them for 3/4 of the mural plus materials because I finished 3/4 of the mural. They shorted me on the pay for that. Do I have a case? *Long Story So I got my first big mural. They wanted some industrial grungy stuff. I quoted them at $480 plus cost of materials. I charged myself $40/ hr (8 hrs labor plus commute and a buffer). Contract signed, 50% deposit paid, all that. This woman had fired another muralist before she finished but I decided to do a more hands on approach. I made seven mock ups in photoshop. Went over colors. She changed her mind soooo many times. I even had to repaint the wall (which I admit was courtesy). By the time I started painting she was still changing colors. She was so freaked out that I had to explain every little thing to her, wasting more time. Anyway, not including allll of that I was running out of hours. I told the husband that I'm running low on hours and I have to get right to work when I come otherwise I'm going to run out of hours. He said okay. A week later I'm 12 hours in and she loves what's happening so far (she said it like 10 times) but she is still projecting her anxiety on me. I keep having to stop and RE-explain what I am doing. So Friday she comes to me and says she wants to add more words and do all this stuff. She says she wants to offer me more money etc. What she offered, I said was too much I did tell her that I am hitting the end of my hours though with all of this going on so if I don't finish it by Saturday we can talk about adjusting the pricings. She said okay. Twice. I say twice because she doesn't listen to and I constantly have to re-explain things. Even her husband sometimes says "she just said that". Anyway so Saturday passes, I'm not done I tell her we can talk paperwork the next day (my grandma always said get everything in writing) but then she messages me that an offer for a house she wanted presented itself so depending the results, she may or may not continue the mural. So for now invoice her and we'll see in 30 days. That's fine with me. Sucks but no hard feelings. Because I ran out of hours on Saturday, I invoiced her the full $480 plus materials. She threw a fit and said it was not done and I never mentioned anything about re-talking price or running low on hours. Effing. Lie. I watched enough Judge shows to know that if it isn't on paper, it won't stand unless the judge is in a good mood or a good judge of character and because we didn't get to re-talk prices the next day it just looks like me trying to charge for a whole mural when I didn't finish it. So I settled and said I did 3/4 of a mural so you need to pay 3/4 the price plus materials. She gave me some money, shorted me and still owes me $55. Now I know it's "only $55". But I settled for that after she planned on shorting me for two hundred dollars. I wasn't charging her for courtesy or even the extra hour mins I had to drive a day. I was charging her for the obvious time I spend on her mural. Also, she fired the last muralist, who knows how long she's been jipping people. I am angry. I even rejected OTHER mural jobs because she said she wanted me to do her whole house. Even after seeing my work she relinquished the murals her husband was begrudgingly doing to me. I would have had enough work for the rest of the year she liked it so much. Do I have a case to at minimum be able to get 3/4 of the mural plus materials? Is this reasonable? Am I crazy for wanting to do this? I have a contract, pics of the mural. What are the odds I can get my original price? Or add anything else. I just need her to suffer ~_~. I am so stressed out and I also have anxiety but I kept my head together for this project until now. Lord help me. Valuable lessons: *No courtesies for anyone because people will screw you when you say you have to get paid for your work. *State in a contract that you charge for edits and repaints.

| Landlord wants to change lease so that we pay 1/3rd of utilities. Can he do this? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:27 AM PDT (Ontario) Our lease is coming to it's one year point and our landlord is trying to get us to renegotiate. He is trying to get us to agree to a reduced rent, if we agree to pay 1/3rd of the water and electricity. We rent the basement of his house. Our issue is that it would drastically increase our rent even with his "reduction". He does things like water the front lawn overnight and run the AC or furnace on full blast at all times - which we have no control over. So we would be paying a much larger chunk than we are using as we are pretty good at conserving. Is he able to do this? All of my research only says that he can increase rent by 2.2% this year. To be clear our current lease states that cable, internet, water, and electricity are all included in our rent and it was a 1 year lease. Any input is appreciated, cheers. [link] [comments]  |
| Being asked to pay 10k bonus back after relocating with it Posted: 24 Oct 2020 12:14 PM PDT Hi Everyone, throwaway for obvious reasons. In August, I made a lateral move within my company to "Launch" a site. There was a 10k bonus involved in signing the contract. Once I signed the contract, all official communication stopped. A few weeks later, I received the bonus in my account, but never heard anything official about the cancellation of the site. I received a phone call from a Senior Regional Manager, informing me that the bonus would not be happening because the site did not launch. I informed them that I had already spent the bonus on my relocation for the site, because I had not heard that it was cancelled. I was essentially told not to worry, and that it was a mistake on their end. 1 month later, and I am being asked to write a check for the bonus, or have it taken out of future paychecks. If these deductions happen, I may not be able to pay my rent. Is this legal? Within the contract, it says I will be required to pay the bonus back if I leave the company within a year. My ideal situation involves leaving the company because of how I have been treated, but I know this might play to their favor. I feel that I am now trapped, and can either work at a very low hourly rate (my pay is salary) or leave and be required to pay the bonus back. Everyone I have spoken to has said this cannot be legal, but I am looking for further advice. Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
| Stepdad hit my brother when my brother swore after injuring himself Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:47 AM PDT Woke up to screaming at midnight, thought someone was being murdered. My stepdad had hit my brother after my 15-year-old brother swore because he injured himself. He slapped my brother and blood went spewing everywhere (the injury was his nose, I think he hit his nose on the door and had a nose bleed) and my brother got really mad at him for hitting him and attempted to fight back. My stepdad is now being kicked out for this (good riddances, as he had threatened to attack me before) I am wondering, can any legal action be pursued against my stepdad? Thank you!

| Storage company allowed random people into my deceased fathers unit Posted: 24 Oct 2020 05:06 AM PDT Hello. Last month my dear Dad passed away (may he rest in peace!) He was an amazing man who will be dearly missed. He had heart failure in a parking lot and the "friends" he was with pillaged his pockets stealing his keys, wallet, and vehicle before the ambulance could arrive. 3 days prior, my husband and I spent the entire weekend moving his entire apartment into storage. His lease had ended and was going to be moving into a new place. There was a one week "in between" window so EVERYTHING this man owned was packed away neatly into the unit. My dad passed away at 12 pm. I didnt receive the news until 9 pm. At 430 pm, his friends went to the storage place and told the woman working that his dad went into surgery and told him the wrong code on the way in, so please give him the access code. The woman granted this stranger acceas and three different men are seen on camera loading up diffetent vehicles with my Dad's most prized posessions! Thanks to my great detective work i was able to hunt down these scum bags and recover about 40% of it. My brother spoke to the storage manager and shes terrified of the repercussions bc she knows she fucked up. We then purchased a second storage unit in the same building, moved everything, and they did not comp a discount or anything. Between the planning of my dad's services and the actual memorial, I hadnt had time to go down to assess the missing property until today. I personally packed that storage unit and all of my family heirlooms are gone!!! Among many other expensive collectables. Such as my Dad's Princess Diana Stamp collection, he also has a collection of over 100 different tribal masks worth a lot of money, all gone, his guns and ammo... all gone! And large gold flying pig piggy bank he said had at least 5 grand inside of it! Everything that is left is basically trash (sorry dad! But i dont want your canned food and all your dishes.) He passed away 09/24. So this has all taken place over the last month. Service was two days ago so ive finally had time to handle this. Whats my next step??? Please help me. [link] [comments]  |
| Do my parents have control over where I live during high school even if I am 18? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 06:45 AM PDT I am planning on moving in with my older sibling once I turn 18, who lives about 10 hours away from my parents. We are worried about them forcing me to come back home since they still have power over me through my schooling. I will still be doing online school for the district my parents live in, so I won't be dropping out. This is probably a stupid question, but I am really worried about them getting authorities involved and forcing me to come home and painting it as a runaway child case.

| "All sales are final. No refunds. No exceptions." But I never received my product maam... Posted: 23 Oct 2020 05:11 PM PDT When I moved into my first adult place instead of a hole in a wall I decided that for the first time I wanted to buy brand new bedroom furniture instead of second hand which was my usual route. I went to a small local business and after looking around the store I found the employee (it's possible she was the owner) and told her which floor model I decided on. She said she didn't have it in stock right now, but if I paid for it she would order it for me and it will arrive in a few weeks. Ok no prob. I charge my debit the $1500 and go on about my life. 3 weeks go by so I emailed the store and asked for an ETA on my order. The owner replied that she is waiting for the manufacturer to get back to her this week and she will send me an ETA. Noted. Another 3 weeks go by so I follow up again. This time the owner says it will be an additional 3 weeks after that for my furniture to arrive. She doesn't give a reason but I assume it's due to covid so ok no prob. This time I let 6 weeks go by and I send another email following up. This time the owner says it will be an additional 3 weeks after that and if I want to bring in my receipt I can switch out my order for a different bedroom set and if it's more I can pay the difference. (I understand small businesses cant do the same things large businesses can but geez she is not trying to compensate me for my inconvenience at all). I entertain the idea and tell her to send me the links to the ones she has in stock. Frankly I forgot about it and didnt get to reviewing them until 2 weeks later. I let her know I wasnt pleased with any on her list and wanted to stick to my purchase or get a refund. She lets me know it's very clearly stated on the receipt that the store does not do refunds and that the latest ETA for my order is an additional 3 weeks. At this point nothing she says can be believed and either the manufacturer is getting over on her or she is getting over on me. So here I am 14 weeks after I gave her $1500 and still an additional 3 weeks minimum before the possibility of receiving the furniture I paid for. And frankly I'm over it. I just want my money back to put into savings and I'll keep my current ugly but functional furniture. Yes her no refunds policy is very clearly stated on the receipt, but I think I waited a more than reasonable amount of time for her to fulfill her end of the contract. Do I have any options to try to persue getting my money back? Surely there is some sort of exception for prepaying and never receiving the product. I am in North Carolina. Thank you.

| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:07 AM PDT A little bit of a weird one here. My aunt had been dating a man who made shitty financial decisions. He got very sick and needed extensive care through the VA. After his death, he left everything to my aunt and the VA charged the estate for his care. The estate was basically penniless and so a lien was placed on the home. My aunt told everyone that she had surrendered the home and she came to live with me. Then my aunt died suddenly this past August, leaving everything to my mother. My mother is still alive so technically my mom inherited this house but I'm the one dealing with the logistics of my aunt's estate. We were just served a civil summons regarding the estate, we're guessing it's about this lien-to and we have no idea what to do with it. We can't pay the lien, it's a stupid amount of money. No one is going to buy this property with a lien on it that is significantly more than its worth. Are we just stuck with this white elephant in perpetuity? Is this a job for an estate lawyer or a real estate lawyer or do I really need a lawyer? Can I say not my debt not my problem, go pound sand? Is there any way to haggle the lien down and maybe keep the property? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 12:11 PM PDT I'm on mobile, so sorry about any formatting issues. This conversation just happened about two hours ago. For context, my (27F) source of income was just thrown into limbo because of a wildfire encroaching on the town I work in. I have three major bills each month: rent, tuition, and car. These add up to about $1750 a month, give or take. I've been okay about getting my bills paid, and my family agreed to give about $500 a month to help. I work about 30 hours a week, am taking two classes, and have Monday through Wednesday set aside for classes and appointments. I've struggled with severe depression and suicidal ideation since college, and since moving to another state, haven't had treatment. I recently snapped from all the pressure and a second wave of grief (grandpa died in July), and had to check into a crisis center for that day. Before I did that, it was a slow descent to suicidal ideation. The trigger happened Friday, and I checked in on Tuesday. I expressed to my mother that it would possibly be better to take a break and go home for a while to get through that grief with family members. I mentioned it a few times between Friday and Tuesday, and after I started to improve in my mood, I dropped it and essentially said that I had invested too much into being where I currently am to go home and start from scratch. My mom decided to book a trip with my dad to come see me. Everything was going well until the town I work in was evacuated due to the fires. We were supposed to stay there this Thursday through Sunday, but we ended up in the main city instead. I was freaking out a little because if I can't work, the only money I have is the $500 I get from my family. That means I can pay for my car and part of my tuition or rent, but not all three. My mom mentioned that she would help pay for the three big things while I don't have income and I thought that was generous given how much financial pressure they're under. THEN she decided to mention that if I expressed wanting to come home and be with family due to a depressive episode, she would seek guardianship over me. If you don't know what that is, it's what Britney Spears' father has over her. This would essentially mean that I have zero control or say over my life. I because upset and told her that I was going to return to my apartment because I needed to be alone. She tried to stop me, saying that I always run away from things. Partially true, but I honestly needed to get away from her, since this action was such a huge breach of trust for me. I'm at a loss of what to do. She texted me while I was on my way to my apartment, saying that she believes she's a piece of shit and that I couldn't possibly hate her more than she hates herself. This is, I don't hate her. I love her and am so so so sad that she would pull something like that. I don't want to speak to her. I'm incredibly hurt. [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 23 Oct 2020 04:48 PM PDT title explains most of it. i went grocery shopping for about 30 minutes and when i came out, i found my car in a completely different spot than i had parked it in (it was also facing the other direction). there was a security guard near my car and i asked him what was going on. he said that i had left my car in drive, and that it had rolled backwards and hit another car. he said that my car was unlocked, and he then put my car in neutral to push it into a different spot. he also said he was unable to turn the wheel, which is weird because the car was rotated 180 degrees. i asked where the other person/car was and he said that she had left but had taken pictures of my plates and wanted my contact information. i gave him my name and number and then he went about his business. i did not get her information like an idiot. i'm so confused on what to do next? i have no idea who this woman is or what damage i did to her car, i don't understand how my car was rotated 180 degrees without the wheel turning, and i don't understand how this all happened in under 30 minutes. i also didn't feel or see my car move at all as i was getting out of my car. the security guard was private, and no actual police officers were involved. is this just something i should ignore? or should i be prepared to talk to my insurance? EDIT: since this is a very common question, i'll answer it here. i own an automatic 2014 chevy spark. after reading the comments i checked to see if i could take the keys out of the ignition with the car in drive, and the answer is yes, i am able to do that. i also checked to see if i was able to switch gears with the keys out of the ignition and i am able to do that as well.

| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 01:28 PM PDT Hello, my friend and I needed to ask this question, today she was at work and we were discussing our wages at the job (same job except she has a business degree) she makes 3.00 more than me, which is fair she has the degree, but our boss came up and said that if we discussed it again it would be immediate termination. We reside in the US specifically Wisconsin and I've never seen such a clause in our employee handbook, (in fact I've never seen the employee handbook). Would this have been a legal termination if they did? [link] [comments]  |
| Minnesota - Hotel Front Desk shift is over but can't leave? 16 hour shifts Posted: 24 Oct 2020 04:12 AM PDT Hey all, I am currently working the overnight audit shift at my hotel. We are a smaller hotel with about 90ish rooms and there is only one person working Front desk by themselves at a time. Well the morning shift person just texted me 3 hours before my shift ends that he is sick and can't come in. I tried texting my boss, my supervisor, and then sent a mass text to my co-workers. 2 hours later and 1 hour until my shift is over and still no response from anyone. I know it's late/early and everyone is probably sleeping but I was already up for 9 hours before my shift taking care of stuff at home and it was actually a busy Friday night this shift and I'm dead. Now I've been in this position before and the notion is that you can't leave until someone else shows up since there will be no one watching the hotel due to only one person working at a time at the Front Desk. And I've experienced many times where a co-worker is over an hour late but I have to wait for them. What would happen if I just put up the be right back sign and walked out right when my shift is scheduled to be over? Could they fire me for it? And what is the legality of keeping someone working for 16 hours straight (we also don't get schedule breaks during our shift because like I said, we only have one person working the front desk). Just curious more than anything. I like my co-workers a lot and we all get along like a family, so I unhappily probably just stay until someone shows up and stuggle to stay awake, but sometimes the disorganization/unprofessional management of the hotel gets to me... so just wondering where I stand from a legal standpoint. P.S. Also just curious but when I started this job several years ago, the supervisor actually had to work 16 hour shifts 4 days in a row. I always wondered if that was legal? Thanks for the advice all! [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:36 AM PDT My parents are in a very frustrating situation and I really want to help them. They decided on building a new home and got along great with a builder who explained to them the whole building process would be like an open-book and they would get to see everything. They really liked the builder and decided to go with him because they have seen several other houses he has made. The contract states that the house will be built for $545,000. The contract does not mention anything about invoices or receipts. My parents have paid in checks the entire time. They could pay in cash but wanted to have a tracing of the money with checks. What is currently happening is that my parents want extra things in the house and it is going over $545,000. The builder is giving invoices on the EXTRA things they are wanting, but he is refusing to give invoices on the original materials/labor that were said to be $545,000 total. When my parents ask the builder for invoices/receipts of the original $545,000, the builder just says this is how he always does his business and he does not want to give them to my parents. My parents are wanting these invoices and receipts because there has been several instances where they know the contractors that have worked on the house have not been paid by the builder even though they have given the builder money by checks for the work. Is there anything that can possibly be done to protect my parents from any financial disasters that can potentially arise from this? I am worried that many of these contractors have not been paid even though the builder is receiving money to pay them. Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments]  |
| Letting a family member register their drivers license at my home? Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:30 AM PDT Hello, My brother who lives in the next state over (CA) went up to my state (NV) recently to renew his driver license since he originally got it here. But he moved about a year or two ago and needed to renew it for work purposes I think he said? And now I have his license but could I get in trouble for letting him use my address on his license when he lives in another state? A couple of worrying things is he has child support that he has a history of avoiding paying it before and as far as I am aware he doesn't have a criminal record. But someone I know said if there was ever a warrant for his arrest in NV I could potentially get into some hot water for it. I cant seem to find a solid answer anywhere, I know laws for each state are different but what is the general rule that is typically seen? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 08:59 AM PDT Central IL. Our landlord is trying to charge us almost $700 to treat our unit for bedbugs that didn't originate in our unit. Two other people in the apartment have them, and I'm not sure if they were asked to pay or not. It's almost impossible to prove whether or not they originated in our apartment or another. Our lease doesn't say ANYTHING regarding the treatment of pests in our apartment. It doesn't say we're responsible for it, it doesn't say he is responsible for paying for it, it just says nothing about treatment for pests. Is he able to make us pay out of pocket for a problem that we didn't create? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 24 Oct 2020 11:06 AM PDT Idk if this is the right subreddit but i need to know what i can do.. We live on my grandma's, his mom's, farm. He has a separate house and lives there with his girlfriend. He got a rescue pittie a few months ago, lets call her Midnight. He just lets her do basically whatever. Pee in his house? Just put her out, no discipline, for example. Fairly recently, she killed a cat. I worked hard to rehabilitate him and his sister from feral into house pets. He was a sweetheart who would often cuddle up to my uncle's son(9yo) and rub up to Midnight. She killed him, and they weren't going to tell me. The girlfriend was talking about how she hadn't seen Jack in awhile, then the son spilled the beans on what happened. She blew up on him, then tried to defend Midnight by saying that its just her nature and other bs. I have reason to believe she was going to blame his death on coyotes. Uncle's now required to keep her chained, which he tends to forget. Just this morning, I was out feeding the horses and my cat, lets call him Artemis, was following me like a duckling as usual. Everything was all good until I returned the wheelbarrow to the hay house, which is ny my uncle's house. There was a lot of barking, growling, and hissing behind me. I turn and see Midnight going after Artemis. I yell and charge at her, at which she, thankfully, backs off and Artemis runs to safety. She's chained up for once and can't follow. I've already informed my grandma and she agrees the dog needs to go but she doesn't seem to be taking action. What can I legally do to protect my animals? [link] [comments]  |
