| the natural grocery store I work at mislabels their ingredients, I suspect it's purposeful Posted: 21 Dec 2019 05:52 PM PST edit: this is in Pennsylvania/spelling I'm posting on a throwaway account because I have posted details about my job on my main account and don't want to get fired. story time! basically I've been working at a recently acquired "natural" chain food grocer for about a year and a half. a while back I was filling the sales floor and I was printing out labels for some products we package and sell by weight. I noticed the ingredients list on the label was much shorter than the one of the box. i read both lists and noticed that the printed label was completely wrong, it omitted many ingredients and just about all of them were chemical preservatives/emulsifiers/colorings/etc. a few other ingredients were also omitted so I told my manager about this and he reported it to corporate. corporate emailed us back and told us they would not issue a recall. they instructed us to continue selling the product until the labeling issue got fixed. a few weeks later we were emailed by the same corporate person that the label had been corrected. when we read the new labels they were mostly correct, but they listed butter instead of palm oil, and still omitted all the preservatives, emulsifiers/stabilizers/colors/etc. we emailed corporate again and they still did not issue a recall, and told us to keep selling them. fast forward to yesterday, a customer showed up and was asking about the ingredients in a different product due to a preservative allergy, so I printed out a label so they could look at it. again I noticed that the ingredients were much shorter compared to the list on the containers that we get in. this particular product is 4 ingredients that we put together in house, so I looked at the ingredient containers and noticed that everything that was omitted was a preservative, stabilizer, or emulsifier. I told my manager about the mislabeling issue again but no action was taken. I compared a few more labels to their containers and just about everything omits preservatives or any ingredients that could be considered unnatural. based on the response to the first labeling incident, I think this is intentional. having met this lady at corporate multiple times, I understand the attitude is sales first, even if it means lying to the customer. Is not adding ingredients to a label illegal? I read that processing aids are not always required to be listed but it seems like not listing preservatives or omitting Palm oil for butter is super illegal. and for such a large company that markets themselves as having "the highest quality ingredients" or never allowing products into their stores if it "doesn't meet their quality standards"... this just seems really shady... does anyone know what to do in this situation? I've reported this 3 times now but I don't know what actually has to go into a food label. if I should report this to an outside organization, who do I even report it to? I'm worried if I cause trouble up the management chain I may get fired. TL;DR my employer is a large company that seemingly mislabels their products with the intent of misleading their customers to perceive their products as more "natural". when I reported it they decided to not issue a recall on 2 occasions. what do?

| Dusting Off HOA Nobody Knew Existed? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 07:02 PM PST We have owned our home (Michigan) since 2012. There has been no HOA activity in the time we've been here, but I can't check the deed until Monday to see if there is a HOA provision. A few months ago, we received a letter from a woman in our subdivision stating that there was an inactive HOA that she was going to revive, and announcing the first meeting. In the letter, she stated that there would be an election of officers, and that the by-laws stated only members who owned lakefront lots were eligible to hold those seats.(That's a very small minority. There are probably 200 homes in the area, maybe 10-20 of which are on the lake.) A small community uproar at the meeting resulted in the "officers" saying they were going to hold off until they could get more information. Fast foward to today, the next time we have heard anything. We received a bill for $25, which the HOA stated is to cover the insurance we need for the community common spaces. My husband called the woman, who said that she had filed papers with the state to make the HOA legal, and that if we don't pay they will put a lien on our property. She would't tell us when the meeting was held, or who the officers were, except to refer us to the secretary. Honestly, no offense, but we are not HOA type people. If there had been an HOA here, we probably would not have purchased the property. But it is what it is: my question is: How can I find out if this HOA has any legitimate legal standing, or if I can tell her to go pound sand? [link] [comments] |
| Prolife Christian group teaching sex ed class in public school [OH] Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:31 AM PST My son is a middle school student that attends a small public middle school. He told me that a speaker has been coming into one of his classes from time to time to teach sex ed and other "relationship" type subjects. When this speaker comes he says she will stay for an entire week and he believes that the lessons and exercises are graded as part of the overall grade. One of the weeks she taught them sexual education. During this week he said he learned a lot of valuable information including a story about how promiscuous people are sometimes walking around with festering STDs just waiting to trick you! Another week he said she did an exercise where she brought in girls' clothing: short denim shorts, tank top, perfume, etc. and did an exercise holding up these clothes and explaining how girls wearing revealing clothes and being alone with a boy could lead to date rape. I think you are getting the idea. After questioning my son some more, I have figured out that this speaker is from a local Christian prolife nonprofit orginization. This group's website is such that it has absolute misinformation and outright lies on its webpage about abortion and the morning after pill. I do not want my son taught religion in public school in any form and I absolutely do not want my son being taught misinformation about sexual education subjects; and I do not want him being taught an anti choice slant. He says that no religion has been brought up in these sessions. So far, I have sent a first email to the principal telling him that I just became aware of this speaker being in my son's classroom and wanting to know who it is and what orginization she is from. Once I get a reply, what are my next steps? Or because she is not mentioning religion are they successfully skirting the law on this? I am at a minimum just wanting my son removed from the room when she is at the school and this not counted against his grade. I should mention the area I live in is very conservative so I will most likely be alone in my views on this and not very popular if I get her uninvited back, but I do not mind. [link] [comments] |
| Can I take legal action for a fake pregnancy test? Posted: 21 Dec 2019 03:22 PM PST A couple months ago, I met a woman who I ended up having sex with once. I was not very interested in her and told her I wasn't interested. She got aggressive about it so I blocked her number and blocked her on all forms of social media. A couple months later, I find an unmarked envelope with a positive pregnancy test and a threatening note that essentially said, "it'd be a shame if your friends and family found out". I knew exactly who it was so I called her to talk to confirm that a friend was not joking with me. It was her. I then studied the test and found lots of problems with it and concluded it was fake. To make sure, I bought the fake pregnancy test that I was sure she used. Perfect match. Down to the lot number printed on the seal. I want to know if I can file a restraining order at the minimum so she she can't legally contact me or show up to my apartment. At most, I'm wondering if I can charge her for harassment. What do you all think? Edit: Also, I live in Texas Thanks in advance. [link] [comments] |
| Neighbor's son is trespassing and vandalizing property Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:10 AM PST Neighbor's adult son, ~25 years old, is a high functioning autistic. We caught him on a security camera over the summer entering our back gate and going into the yard. He started to move potted plants around before being asked to leave. This is the first time that there was anything like that had happened. The parents came over at that time and explained that he is somewhere in the spectrum. They tried seeking mental health help prior and medicating him, but they no longer do so because he is "harmless." My wife and I are thinking about reporting these instances to the police to document them. We do not plan on taking legal action now or escalating beyond documentation at the moment. The parents of the son are in denial about their son's condition, stating that he is a "good kid." I do not want to create any problems with the neighbors or have their son go through an involuntary mental health hold by reporting it. Is this the best route to take or should I be doing something else? Location: Los Angeles, CA. [link] [comments] |
| Our dog was attacked by another dog on a walk Posted: 21 Dec 2019 03:23 PM PST This afternoon, my husband was walking our dog on-leash and another dog (off-leash) ran out of an open garage and attacked our dog. My husband tried to pry that dog off our dog, unsuccessfully. A man and woman ran out of the house and kicked their dog off ours. My husband ran away to get our dog to safety and we immediately went to the emergency vet. Our dog had numerous spots where the fur was torn off and puncture wounds on his stomach, so the vet recommended sedation and x-rays to confirm there are no internal injuries. The vet estimate is around $2k. We stopped by the house to get their contact information and make sure the dog was vaccinated. The woman who answered the door claimed not to be the homeowner and said the dog and its owners were visiting the property and left. She claimed to not know the man's last name. I gave her my phone number and she said she would have them call me. (I am doubtful that she was telling the whole truth.) Since the dog came from their property and belonged to their guests, would we be able to hold the property owner or their insurance liable for the vet bills? Edit: We're in California and their dog being off-leash was in violation of city code. Edit2: My husband found a puncture wound and contusions on his leg that he didn't notice until after he showered since he was wearing long pants at the time of the attack. [link] [comments] |
| Found my photos on porn sites [SC] Posted: 21 Dec 2019 02:03 PM PST I did a shoot with a photographer back in June, it was a lingerie shoot for his business. I was aware that they would be used on his Instagram and possibly his etsy for advertising. (He sells the lingerie.) I signed a contract on an iPad stating that he and his heirs or people he assigns can use them and that I can't request them to be taken down or not used. I recently got a message from a no face no followers creep on Instagram asking if he could buy my photos and videos that he found from this photographer on Reddit. I asked him where he found the photos and he said he couldn't tell me because "I was using a private browser". I found pictures of other girls in the same lingerie that all have links to this photographers website by three different usernames. Not even an hour after this whole ordeal I got a message from a paid service Instagram account that takes down pictures from websites and places you don't want them asking to work with me. This is sounding like a huge shakedown and I feel sick. The photographer admitted he knew about other people using his photos but didn't care because it was free advertising. I was 19 at the time of the shoot and he did give me alcohol but I don't know if there's any proof. I really want these pictures to disappear because there's no way of knowing where they will show up He has refused to take them down and stop using them, what can I do? Do I have any legal standing to hire a lawyer and send him a cease and desist? [link] [comments] |
| My landlord said I have "3 or 4 weeks" to move because he sold the house. Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:21 AM PST My boyfriend and I have been renting the top floor of a house in central NH for the last 23 months. The homeowner lived on the main floor with various roommates over this time. In mid-October, he asked if we were planning on leaving anytime soon, to which I said we didn't plan on it and asked where he was going with the conversation. He explained about some health issues his mother was having and that his sisters had asked him to go stay with mom for a little while to help out, and he wanted to make sure someone he trusted would be in the house during that time. We agreed to stay at least until he got back, shook hands and that was that. Last week the water almost got shut off because he didn't pay the bill and I didn't know it was due. I managed to pay it on my card hours before it was scheduled for shut off. And that was only because I contacted him about it. If I hadn't seen the pink paper in the window of the envelope, I wouldn't have even known to ask him about it. Fast forward to this morning, about 10 am on a Saturday, he texts my boyfriend that he sold the house and we have to move. I convinced my boyfriend to not text him back all the angry things he wanted to say and I simply texted him from my phone "when?" He replied we had 3 or 4 weeks. Which I find remarkable, because he said 2 weeks ago that he wasn't selling it. I find it highly unlikely that this house was on the market for 2 weeks and he sold it that quickly without having anyone come by to look at it. Now here's where it gets tricky. We are month to month tenants with no lease agreement. We have a verbal agreement with him, which him and I have always honored. We have not always been on time with our rent, but have always worked something out with him. It is also important to mention that he is a terrible hoarder and slob, and we started cleaning and fixing the place up after he left. Which was another verbal agreement we had, for him to adjust the rent for work done on the house. After he left we had to take a SNOWSHOVEL to the living room floor to pick up all of the cigarette butts and trash. Not to mention the rotting food all over the kitchen and in the fridge. He even left half eaten food on plates all over the downstairs, but I digress. I realize I should've gotten all of this in writing, and it's my own fault for trusting he would honor the agreement. But here is the kicker, he is on disability and assistance pays for his mortgage, he has to file any rent we pay him with the state as income, and they're supposed to supplement his housing dividend accordingly. He does not claim the income from renting his rooms, and I don't know if that works in my favor or against it. (I have 2 years worth of rent receipts with his signature on them) I think he might be bluffing about the house sale, hoping we will just leave. But it is winter in a New Hampshire ski area, housing will be extremely difficult to find, especially since I just started work 2 weeks ago and I have terrible credit. My fiancee is unable to work and currently applying for disability himself. I guess what I want to know, is can he legally ask us to leave in a months time? Does a text message count as written notice? How easy would it be for him to evict us? Should I mention the rent receipts, and unclaimed income? Or is that just a hostile power play? EDIT: we have no written lease agreement, the last verbal agreement we had was that we stay until at least April when he initially planned to return . [link] [comments] |
| Receiving phonecalls from an Apartment Complex [WA state] Posted: 21 Dec 2019 06:15 PM PST This is a weird situation but it's gotten worse. I used to work for a Patrol security company for an apartment complex over a year ago, I no longer work there and have moved on. Over the last 6 months I have received many phone calls (at least 10 a week) from numerous residents regarding issues that they have going on. According to the callers my phone number has been added to the after-hours menu on the main apartment line somehow, so when they select a certain option it auto calls my phone. It is my personal phone number, and I never used it while working security, as I had a work phone for that purpose. I informed some of these callers that I no longer work there. I have reached out to the manager about 3 months ago and they supposedly fixed this issue. The calls stopped for about 2 weeks, but resumed. I have had my voicemail filled with residents complaining, and some of them pretty nasty as they assume I am the security and not answering their calls or dealing with these issues. I do not receive many phone calls unless they are important so I answer most of them. The issue is I work nights so my phone is going off during the day and waking me up. I am on call 24/7 at my current job so my phone needs to be on in case I am needed. Today I have had the same resident call me back to back about 6 times, and when I answered the last call he started yelling and cussing at me for not assisting him. I have reached my limit for this. I cannot easily change my phone number, nor do I want to go this route because I have had this number for a very long time, and I feel like I shouldn't have to. I emailed the manager but since it's the weekend I won't get a reply until Monday. My friends have told me that I can take a legal route on this but I have no idea what kind of case I have if I even have one, hence why I am posting here. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 04:00 PM PST I am a bit confused so I hope you all can help me. My wife said someone from a water company called her and told her that the water softener in our house doesn't belong to us but to them. We just bought this house about a month ago and moved-in at about the same time. The previous owner told us that all we needed to do was buy salt to use the softener and if we wanted, we could call the water company and have them service and provide salt for us and whatnot. Since I bought the house, I figured once I took possession of it, everything inside of it belonged to me now, can they just try to come and grab the water softener? What if I refuse to give it to them (which I will refuse), can they really do anything? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 06:54 PM PST My wife and I are seasonal workers, employed through a staffing agency to a large company. We have worked for both these Companies in the past and have always had good relations with both. For the past month and a half, my wife and I have been harassed (generally and sexually) by a co-worker. We have filed multiple reports with both the staffing agency and the company we are staffed out to (hereafter referred to as the "Main Company")- every time we file a report, Management just has a talk with this person and the harassment continues and escalates each time. It started out with him yelling at us and berating us; yelling "DO SOMETHING" and trying to get me to fight with him; screaming belittling comments and my wife's name at us while driving past us; urinating directly in front of my wife; grabbing his genitals and jerking them towards my wife while making eye contact with her; using intimidating/threatening body language and gestures; doing petty things (I can't go into details without breaking anonymity); and has now gotten to the point that he has threatened our roommate (who has been here less than a week and also works with us- to be referred to as RC) with physical violence and also told him he wanted some "alone time" with me and my wife, "especially" my wife. We have made multiple reports and we have evidence and witnesses, but he is sneaky around management and always makes sure they are not around to see it. Management first tried to separate him from us at work, but he continued going out of his way to create situations to harass us in, and they have now chosen to ignore that any of this is happening, despite the countless reports that we also have records of, and have begun trying to cover it up. As of today, we received threats from management of the Main Company phrased as "I'm not saying don't do anything, because that would be violation your civil rights, but don't do anything, drop it, let it go". One of the managers from the Main Company told RC that the staffing agency and Main Company have agreed that if we don't drop the issue we will be sent home on the next flight, long before any of our contracts are supposed to end. RC was also told to not contact HR with any of this by the same manager- RC received a conference call during our lunch break from this manager and who he was told was an HR representative from the Main Company Headquarters, both of whom were very adamant about him not contacting HR officially and both the Manager and "HR Rep" kept repeating "and these conversations never happened, buddy".The "HR Rep" also informed him that we already have a case on our hands, and if any of us get fired that the Main Company will help us with legal representation (trying to wash their hands and team up with us to speak out against the staffing agency). They do not know that as it is going nowhere trying to do it the right way here, we had already (yesterday) filed a police report and reached out to the HR department of the Main Company, explaining the situation and asking them to contact us to see what options we have. The police officer that took the report for harassment and threats of violence suggested we all file a restraining order against the Co-worker, and stated we have enough supporting information to have it granted. It will be extremely difficult for us to get a day off of work to go to the court to file the paperwork for the restraining order considering we work 6 days a week, and by the time we get out of work the courthouse is already closed (and is also approximately an hour away, by bus, from where we are housed). We are also trying to set up an appointment to see a psychologist because this is affecting our work. We are having a difficult time concentrating while at work because the way our workplace is set up, we are often alone with a small crew of a few workers and spread out without line of sight and are therefore very vulnerable if he decides to come follow through on his threats of physical violence. We are also very far from any police stations and often don't have phone service while at work. My wife has developed extremely bad anxiety and is afraid to go to work or even to walk around town after/before work. Before we went to the police, the staffing agency stated they were going to meet with the harassing Co-worker and give him "one more chance", something we have heard numerous times already, chance after chance. RC informed the office manager of the staffing agency that we were going to file a police report, to which she responded "I hope that goes well for you". While we were with the police officer filling out the report, the owner of the staffing agency was repeatedly calling RC and then sent a text saying not to contact the police. We are desperate for any advice, we have been considering contacting a lawyer but they are a large company and we don't have the means to fight a long, drawn-out legal case for their negligence, hostile work environment and threats. TL;DR my wife, roommate/coworker and I are being harassed and threatened by another worker. We have reported it numerous times and the company is turning a blind eye, and now threatening to fire us if we don't drop the issue. What do we do? EDIT: RC and I are both Latino. EDIT 2: We are employed in Hawaii, the Main Company's HQ are in the Midwest. We are all residents of different states. [link] [comments] |
| Sister was beat up pretty bad by her boyfriend. What's the best way to press charges? [California] Posted: 21 Dec 2019 09:37 AM PST Sister and her boyfriend live together. They got into an argument and things got physical. He punched her,choked her, threw her across the room. He told her he would kill her and she felt like he meant it as she fought for her life to get away from him. She managed to get away and locked herself in the restroom and called the police. He attempted to knock the door down as they made there way to the scene. They ended up letting him go after 24hrs which is suprising given that he is on probation for a similar crime. What do we do?

| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 05:18 AM PST First of all, sorry for the long post, but I feel so angry and desperate. I'm 30/f, living in Victoria, Australia and am an Australian citizen by naturalisation. 3 years ago my mother and brother from Vietnam came over under Contributory permanent parent visa subclass 143, which I am the sponsor. Just before they came my mum sent me a deposit amount of 1/6th value to purchase a house under my name, so that they don't have to pay rent for their livings. I agreed under the circumstance that they would contribute $1000/month to help me out. Upon arriving all hell broke lose. She denied any contribution. I struggled my way to pay the mortgage and the bills. And I gave up a serious relationship to take care of them. My mother also claimed that the house was hers and I'm only living here under renting status. I has been constantly emotionally abused by my mother. One time she had my father (who is currently in Vietnam because I could not sponsor more than 2 adults) threaten to come over an kill me over a phone conversation. Neither of my mother or brother wanted to find work. They do not contribute to anything from house work, to cleaning up after their mess, to maintenance bills... My brother goes to uni 2days a week, and stays up until 6am playing games in his room. He also smokes in the house, and if I complained my mother would abuse me. The only contribution from their side is she cooks dinner. Every time I come home from work the house stinks of oil and smoke, the kitchen sink is full of dirty dishes despite me having installed a brand new dishwasher... I am very emotionally damaged, especially feeling the hatred from my own mother. I seeked help from mental health professionals however did not see any progress, as I saw the problem being my family, not my mental ability. Several occasions I woke in the middle of the night after a nightmare about my mum and blurted out angry words. I have tried to persuade myself to endure, thinking they were my family and I had responsibilities. At times I thought of ending my life to relieve from all the pain. I feel that I am approaching my endurance limit. I feel so much hatred and anger it feels so toxic. I want to sell the house and never talk to my family again. I need advice regarding selling a house while they refuse to move out, and also if I had any obligation under the visa sponsorship that may prevent me from doing so and cutting them off for good. Please... [link] [comments] |
| Carvana parking on my street and causing a lot of noise Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:19 AM PST I live in a house that's a corner lot right next to a major road. Right across the street is a building that turned into a Carvana, this online used car retailer. Every day, at least 3 times each day, a giant multicar tow truck parks on the street in front of my house. It's a really quiet street with no real traffic that then leads into the major road. Carvana uses this street to load up the tow truck and then proceeds to spend a load of time wiggling around to then backup out of the street and into the Carvana lot across the major road. The entire time they're doing this, they're blasting their truck horn to make 4 lanes of cars stop. It's like a solid 10 seconds of hearing truck horns 3 times a day. What can I do about this? I don't think I can do anything about the noise since it's for so little time (not that it bothers me, I'm used to truck horns after living next to this road). I'm just curious if anything can actually be done about Carvana using my street as sort of a car loading station. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:25 PM PST So recently my girlfriend and I received a note on our door from an upset neighbor telling us to "stop taking up a guest parking spot everyday or else I'll contact the landlord" so we went ahead and contacted the landlord ourselves. We have permission to park there as much as we want, and since there's only one assigned parking spot at our apartment and my gf and I both have our own cars it's impossible not to park in guest parking. Sure there are other open guest parking spots down the street for us to use, but it doesn't make sense to us why this guy thinks he has authority over us and if we have open spots at our building we are obviously going to use them. Anyways, he sends us a more aggressive note the next time calling us a dick and an asshole. Along with the first note I realized someone threw dirty snow at the hood of my car but didn't think too much of it. Then over the course of two weeks, on 4 different days, he put foot-long sized dirty ice chunks ontop of the hood of my car to try and scare me out of parking in my usual guest parking spots. We contacted the landlord after the first time and she somewhat matched the handwriting of the note to someone in our buildings application papers and sent them a warning but it still hasn't stopped (maybe it wasn't the guy? she didn't tell us anything about her conversation) so she then put a warning on the door of the building that I never saw so he might've taken it down or she got the wrong building. Today there were 2 open spots when I walked out to my car but he still put more ice chunks on my car so he's targeting us for no reason at this point. He put 4 individual foot long chunks of ice along my hood. I washed all the dirt from his previous times and realized there are scratches that I've never seen before in the exact spots he put the ice chunks. I've contacted the police and we are currently waiting for the police officer to get into contact with our landlord but since it's the holidays it'll more than likely be awhile. I plan on calling the police again after the next time. In total we received two notes and 4 different incidents with ice chunks on my car. What we find strange about this whole situation is that this guy knows exactly what car my gf and I both drive, and exactly what room we live in and we don't even know who the hell he is. It's gotten to the point where we have to triple check that our doors are locked because who knows what else this kid wants to do. The question I have is, what can I do if I were to catch this guy? Can I bring him to court for harassment and vandalism or is that a bad idea? I want these scratches fixed and to this guy to have some consequences. I'm a college student in Minnesota. I plan on probably staking out in my girlfriends car one night and catch him so that I can confront him. Cameras are hard to use because in Minnesota the windows will fog up or ice up and our apartment windows don't point towards my car. Any suggestions? I have no idea how laws and the courts work.

| Eviction question Florida, USA Posted: 21 Dec 2019 08:09 PM PST Hi folks, So long story short I was charged some fees on my rent this month that I was unable to afford until I get paid next which is the 28 and my apartment told me that I could not make a partial payment. This was really frustrating as I had my rent money, I just don't have money for the BS charges and they showed zero sympathy. Anyways, my apartment emailed me saying they sent my file to their legal team and they've filed for eviction on 12/13. My question is how long does this actually take? As I mentioned above, I don't get paid until the 28 and I'd rather not beg my family for money as they really don't have any and have already told me no. I'm a 22-year-old student living in student housing and my apartment told me I should just hand in my keys. I'm not dumb, so obviously I did not do that as I know that they can't just lock me out one day without proper procedure. Okay, so what actually happens after they send my file to the lawyers and what not? From what I've read I'll get a court notice or something but if I pay my rent before the court date does that mean the eviction is no longer valid since I paid? I'm just really on edge and nervous so I'd like some answers. And please no mean comments, I have a full time job now and work 50 hours a week so I'm fine now, it's just I had a rough couple past months. TIA [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:17 PM PST Kind of a followup post to my last one on this sub. So basically, my dad dated someone for a few years, it didn't go anywhere and they just kept getting more and more distant. Due to my dad traveling a lot for his job, he's not at his house very often so I go to my moms. Meanwhile, his girlfriend (who he has broken up with by now) is still living happily in the house. My dad is a laid back guy so he sees no problem with this, but now, hes asked her to leave multiple times and she has refused. I talked to him about it today, visibly upset, and he told me that because they dated, she says that she has a right to live here, and has some sort of case in court, so my dad has with held from any further action. All in all, I'm really just looking on advice and more knowledgeable opinions on this issue and what the next step is. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Dec 2019 10:17 PM PST Realized I left my debit card in the drive thru atm at my ban. I went to get it but of course it wasn't there. It's Saturday night, my bank is closed tomorrow, and they don't have a customer service line where I can report it in to. What can I do considering I have an entire 36 hours until my bank opens again on Monday. Any suggestions or consolation would be greatly appreciated [link] [comments] |
