| Posted: 03 Mar 2022 08:34 PM PST My sister (20) is doing awesome at her work in the hotel industry in AZ and is really a rising star there. Everyone adores her. At work, at school, she's very charming and I'm really proud of her. However, there's a guy at her work that likes her too much. This guy (40-something) started off inviting her to hang out after work, which my sister declined courteously and professionally. He never really backed off though and kept doing creepy stuff towards her like touching her arm and shoulder and continuously flirting. Eventually he got her cell number somehow and that's when the inappropriate text messages and pictures and gifs started. An example would be a gif of Freddy Kruger and Jason naked from the waist down with Christmas presents covering their junk. This is her first career job and she's really ambitious and would like to take this job as far as possible. But she's worried about what this situation may do for her continued employment. The first time HR got involved she wasn't even the one who reported it. Another colleague was disturbed by these actions and let HR know. They pulled her in and she explained what was going on. HR promised to talk to him but it didn't really change anything. Since then she has contacted HR on several occasions and documented these occurances. They talked to him but then the retaliation began. Lately he's been yelling at her over little stupid things, over reacting, and even telling other colleagues to treat her severely. No one else does these things of course and generally agree this guy is being an a-hole. The most disturbing things he does now is change his work schedule so they're there on the same days and parking right next to her every day. She's parked extremely far away or even in different lots but he almost always finds her car. All while being either a creep or a dick. It doesn't seem like hr is willing to take any solid action to prevent this. She's made friends with almost everyone at her work and got the guys in security keeping an eye on her. Bit there gotta be a way to get this to stop. I'm worried about her and don't know what she can do, but I told her that there's protections guaranteed by the state against harassment at work. I'm not at all familiar with the legal protections available but I have to believe there's something out there that can help. Again, I don't think she can count on HR to help, but maybe an inquiry from the state would get them off their butts. [link] [comments] |
| I was SAd during a hospital visit Posted: 03 Mar 2022 10:13 PM PST I was in the mental hospital in the end of January 2020. While I was there, I was put on a "one on one" where a RN must follow you at all times. I am a F (22) and I am not sure of the age of the RN but he was a man. I made a record with the hospital the day that it happened. He has kissed me on the neck and fondled me. When I woke up the next morning, the robe I was wearing was completely undone. Although, I do not have the man's name it should be in the hospital records of who was watching me that night. I put out a grievance to the hospital and they said they wills be investigating it. I believe that there may have been malpractice done at the particular hospital given that they let a male staff member watch me overnight allowing the door to be closed. I also believe that it could have been malpractice because after I reported the incident to the hospital's manager she never followed up with me or had even offered a rape kit. I don't know if I should keep this incident between the hospital and myself or involve the police. The statute of limitations still holds up in my state. Do I have means for prosecuting the offender in criminal court? Do I also have grounds for prosecution in civil court? I am very wracked about the situation and any advice would be extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 01:14 AM PST So I accidentally got locked out of my house yesterday (second time) and called my usual locksmith, but was busy so had to look elsewhere. Found another one rated 5 stars on yelp and asked for help. Said yes and told me to text my address. After sending my address I asked the ETA and how much it was going to cost. To which he only replied his ETA. After 40 or so minutes I asked his ETA again which prompted a reply not too long after. Was weird but looked passed it When he came he told me he'd look at the lock to see if he can open it, and if he couldn't he would just replace the lock entirely for $200. Knew he was charging higher because last time I got locked out it only cost me $95. But didn't say anything and saw if he managed to open it. After 20 or so minutes, he decided he couldn't open it and wanted to change the entire lock. Told him I didn't want to go through that hassle. Then came repeated back and forth of him trying to convince me there's no problem and he'd do the service for the $200. I kept saying no until he gave up and asked for a $30 service fee for coming. I gave him the $30 and he left. I asked another locksmith and he came to do it for $95. After I got inside I left a bad review on yelp saying he was trying to overcharge me and how he was trying to put the blame on me. Today he calls and tells me to remove the review. Which I was going to do after 1 call. But he repeatedly called me and texted me to take the review off. Until I did to which he texted "If you don't I come to your home." To which I replied "Done. Don't come to my house." Now I am a bit scared because he does know where I live and he is a locksmith. What should I do in this situation? tl;dr left a bad yelp review on this locksmith for trying to overcharge me, and then received a threat telling me to remove it or he'd come to my house.

| Posted: 03 Mar 2022 09:17 PM PST My roomate got a dog (without asking me) & has been rude about it. Leaves it in the living room with days old puppy pads, doesn't take the dog out, let's it scream all night, the poor thing is basically neglected. Is there anyway that I could get it rehomed without her knowing it was me who rehomed it ? OR any legal things I can do to in regards to my lease? The pup is neglected, and it can't be safe to leave days old urine & feces on the ground. [link] [comments] |
| Employer Said Homosexual Behavior is Grounds For Termination (Virginia) Posted: 03 Mar 2022 06:43 PM PST Hello, I (20F) quit a daycare job as a teacher's assistant at a church connected private school last year due to the policy handbook stating that any behavior that did not meet biblical standards (including homosexuality. I have this in writing.) would be grounds for termination. I decided to proceed with getting the job because it's hard to get your first child care job in this area and it was what I was going to school for at the time and I worked there for 3 months. I never let anyone know I was engaged to my partner (20F) but it made me so anxious I puked multiple times a day and kind of exacerbated the anxiety and depression issues I was trying to handle and I ended up getting so bad I had to quit Feb 2021 and drop out of school and go back to working customer service (which beat me down even more but neither here nor there). I don't know if I have any ground to stand on for any kind of case, but if I do where would I look? I've been blaming myself and kind of embarrassed this whole time so I'm just now trying to see what I can do. I don't really expect this to mean anything but I wanted to know how it looked to others.

| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 02:41 AM PST Throwaway account because this is a bit embarrassing. Also sorry for the length and grammar errors While I (20M) was up late at night was added to Snapchat by a random female. Knowing it's likely a scam, but I wanted to fuck with them, I added back. They texted me and long story short ask to trade nudes. For a while, I stalled trying to confirm whether or not it was really a bot because the longer I talked to them seemed less and less fake, however, I still had my doubts. The snap score was fairly high, definitely not a fresh account like normal bots but still low enough to be skeptical. Eventually, I get them to send one picture, and it's of an actual chick that seems similar to their bitmoji, they also sent me their Instagram that seemed very real so I could confirm. Had normal she/her, respective college, hearts, snap chat, and an actual follower ratio to following of almost 2:1. This made me very skeptical of my prior assumptions and despite the bells still going off in my head, being as down bad and a bit horny I sent two pictures one showing my butt and the other the tip of my thing, both very slight and as bad as it sounds, wasn't the most revealing it could be as I was still a bit wary. When I tried to get some in return exactly what I had previously thought might happen, happened. In a mass text a few minutes later I received the two pictures back of what I had sent, somehow screenshotted them without snap notifying me, as well as a post on some forum they wrote about how I hurt them and they have my nudes and want me to feel ashamed of myself. Additionally, it included more screenshots containing pictures of my Instagram followers and my university, and a message threatening me to comply with them or else they will share all of it with the intention of purposefully running my life. Obviously, I know most of the time this is said it's all-cap but with the possibility of it being sent to my university and potentially getting in some kind of trouble I'm not aware of there, I bit and asked what they wanted. They said they wanted me to send him some via Venmo, now I probably would have told them off then and ended it and just called their bluff if it was an absurd amount, but it was very reasonable considering this kind of scam, so to just to pay that put it behind me sucked but I could easily get over it. I ask for the Venmo and it's a guy's name and when I pull up the Venmo it's the actual guy scamming my personal account. It had a picture of him and his friend (looked my age), multiple friends added on the account, and since it wasn't private a public list of his previous transactions (this will be important later). I send him the money reluctantly as well as a confirmation picture from my account that I sent it, and then he tries to milk more out of me by saying to send the same amount again to another account to finally get rid of it and he will send me a screen-recording of him deleting everything off his phone. I'm pissed at this point but managed to fib a bit and got that amount lowered to a fraction of the first payment and again ask for the Venmo. I go to it to send the money and it's the same deal, another guy's personal account with a picture of him and his friends, more than double the friends added than the first one, and a full public list of their transactions. Again I sent the money and the confirmation picture. He tells me to wait for a second to confirm and comes back and tells me the owner of that account isn't awake and will have them confirm in the morning then when that is done he will delete everything and send the screen-recording. I'm pissed but that's where the story ends situation-wise (I lost less than $500). Now earlier when he said it would be important that he had his transactions public, the very first transaction was from a woman old enough to be a mom with their first and last name listed. The last name just so happened to match the last name on the account and I realize I just found his mom. Doing a little research I find the supposed mothers' facebook, fortunately, public as well, and scroll down her post and I manage to find a picture from last year of her son whose name matches the first initial and last name (all that was listed as first initial and last name, or at least that's what I assumed) from the scammers Venmo and a closeup picture of him and even better a birthday confirming his age (Thankfully he was over the legal age of consent). Despite being stupid enough to put myself into this situation I was smart enough to take pictures (all were taken through the webcam of my computer through phone to not let them onto to the fact that I was screenshotting leading to them potentially sending everything out anyways, also pictures are a little blurry bc of focus but all text is legible) of at least the Instagram tag sent to me initially, the original big text with all the pictures and threat for me to comply, all the following texts with the Venmos and me talking about sending money, as well as pictures of both the users Venmo accounts and screenshots of a few of their recent transactions. This just happened recently and I have been currently sitting on all of this information. Right now I'm thinking of messaging the mother, via Facebook, of what her kid has done as well as screenshots of our whole conversation and explain how I found her and my reasonable proof of her son's actions to hopefully ask for my money back and make sure the kid gets punished by at least his parents to prevent another kid from getting got. Given that I very likely have the full name of at least one of the scammers and proof of all the events, would it be reasonable enough to get authorities involved should I choose, so if the conversation with the mother goes south I could it least threaten it to recoup my losses. I'm very curious about the legality of this, I'm sure it's illegal I just don't know how bad, whether or not I would have enough to go to authorities, and if messaging the suspected mother is bad (on a personal and ethical level) or could possibly jeopardize my chance of being able to involve authorities. Thanks to everyone who takes a sec to read and give me some advice I could use some right now [link] [comments] |
| How to prevent estranged parents from having rights after death of adult child. Posted: 04 Mar 2022 01:39 AM PST In Minnesota/north Carolina. I'm helping an adult friend protect himself from his family. He moved here from north Carolina. What paperwork/things can be done in the event of his death so his family doesn't get the rights to his body/belongings? Other than just writing a will for his belonging an designations an executor. I'm not sure If a will covers who is in charge of the body. Also what would need to be done to prevent them having any medical control in the event he is incapacitated or deemed unfit to make decisions in a medical situation? These are long term question that he has that I have no clue how to answer. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. [link] [comments] |
| Are my Florida Professors Scamming me Out of Money?? Posted: 03 Mar 2022 09:53 PM PST I attend a University in Florida and I've had 2 different professors this semester who've made it a requirement in the class to sign up for something that feels super scammy. 1st professor required all her students sign up for a magazine subscription. The magazine does relate to the class material, but no tests are given over any issues and the company issuing the online subscription floods our inbox with about 5-7 emails a day and is in no way affiliated with the university! I feel like perhaps she's receiving kick-backs for each referral provided to this company. She did have the "sign-up code" on our syllabus that we had to use when registering for our subscriptions. 2nd professor requires a business leader certification that costs $100 for credit in his class. (I've had this before, but the certifications are given through a reputable publishing company and can be added to your linkedin profile.) The website he requires us to be certified was published with greeking and is created/ran by one of the other professors at the university. #1 Is this legal? It certainly feels like I'm being scammed out of money (not by the first professor really but definitely by the second) #2 Are there codes of ethics that professors must follow? If so, would these ethics be listed somewhere on the university website? [link] [comments] |
| I got robbed and got my jaw broken two times. I am not sure what to do next Posted: 03 Mar 2022 11:42 PM PST Hello Reddit. First of all sorry for the grammar, english isn't my first language. I (m17) am in the hospital as Im writing this because I got robbed 6 days ago on Saturday. The robbers were 2 guys, which Ive never met before. The whole story isn't that important but it lead to one guy punching me one time with his hand to the upper jaw (like he threw a hook or uppercut) out of the blue and the other dude requesting my wallet. I gave it to them, they took the money which was about 100€ and then they gave me the wallet back. My Jaw is broken two times and I had to go to the ER and undergo surgery. Thankfully none of my teeth are messed up but the surgeons implanted four titanium plates to hold the jaw together. As I am 17, I am not extremely really familiar with the law and I was hoping to get some answers here. The police is already on the case so there is a high chance that they will get caught. Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| I was choked by a police officer Posted: 04 Mar 2022 01:06 AM PST I was dragged out of a bar after 3 guys started a fight with me I was pushed to the ground and punched one of them they then punched me. A cop who doesn't work at the bar or even In the county then dragged me outside and sat on my chest choking me. Afterwards he beat my friend and sent him to the hospital my friend is suing but I was curious if I could press charges and actually have something more done about it? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 03:02 AM PST Recently the House passed a legislative package to help veterans exposed to burn pits. It passed but all the Nays (74) were Republican. In many cases, truthful or not, when asked why they didn't support a bill politicians will state they didn't like this or that provision. A provision which may not have anything to do with the main topic. It always bothered me that bills / legislation wasn't a one topic issue to be voted on. The idea that stuff gets hidden and earmarked is very shady. So I looked this up and it seems that there was a bill proposed - One Subject at a Time Act that failed. Will we ever see this become a reality. Who is in favor? [link] [comments] |
| Who is allowed to confirm my identity for my UK passport? Posted: 04 Mar 2022 02:25 AM PST Nor me or my parents have any friends really, I was wondering if I would be able to ask my girlfriend's mum or dad to confirm my identity, would this be allowed? We are not married, been dating for 3-4 years, so they are not related in any way. They have credible occupations too [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Mar 2022 01:46 AM PST I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I won't be able to sleep until it's answered. I hung out with an old middle school friend that I hadn't seen in a while because the last time we talked he was very pushy and he made me uncomfortable. We met up at a restaurant today and after we got the receipt so we could pay, he was signing the receipt and asked me if I had a fancy signature. I stupidly grabbed the customer copy and signed my name on the back of it to show him my signature and a few minutes later I watched him fold it and put it in his pocket. Now I can't stop thinking about it and I'm wondering: can he do anything harmful to me by having my signature on that receipt copy? What can I do to prevent anything from happening now that I practically handed him my signature? [link] [comments] |
| Not allowing employees to pick up paychecks if they called off Posted: 03 Mar 2022 09:20 PM PST Asking on behalf of my girlfriend. The place she works pays its employees every Friday. However, if an employee calls off on that day for any reason, the boss will not allow them to come in and claim their check that day. They have to wait until the following Monday, which is the next day the office is open. Direct deposit is not an option as the owner doesn't want to pay the associated fees. Is withholding someone's check on the day they called off illegal, or just pettiness? We are in Illinois. [link] [comments] |
