| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 08:06 PM PDT A very bad storm just rolled through and one of my family's biggest fears came to fruition, there was a large rotting dead tree near the edge of the property that we expressed concern for him to remove since around 2 years ago and it fell on our car completely crushing it. it also badly damaged the windshield of our second car. We consulted two tree removal companies for quotes OVER A YEAR AGO who both said the tree was dangerous and needed to be removed, we have the quotes saved. He still refused to do anything about it, and we have an email from the previous property manager acknowledging he knew about the tree from over a year ago. We called him as soon as it happened and he was hysterical on the phone, saying it was our fault for not having comprehensive insurance on the car (only had liability), that he told us "not to fucking park near that tree" (we didn't, we parked right beside our house and it fell in a way we hadn't anticipated it would fall, the wind pushed it away from where it looked like it would fall, it was the top of the tree that hit the car), and that hes "fucking fed up" and is going to sell all his properties, implying he plans on evicting us. Im posting this on behalf of my parents so I dont have all the details yet, they are very distraught and this car was very special to my mom even though it was just an 02 lexus, its irreplaceable for her. are we in the wrong for not having comprehensive insurance on the car? is there anything we can do? we have always been a poor family, we didnt have money for comprehensive on that car, my parents run a business which is why we have 2 cars, the car we have left barely runs as it is I took pictures of the damage from all angles, is there anything else I or my parents should be doing, and where can we go from here? we have renters insurance but I dont think it covers this. my mom has been a broker for 10 years so I figure she knows what she's talking about thanks so much in advance, its a really hard time right now EDIT: we live in Ontario Canada, forgot to add that EDIT 2: he also said things on the phone like "you pay low rent i can't afford to be doing all this" (trust me we dont) which I find funny because we don't even have proper plumbing or electrical in this house either, cant even turn the sink on when someone's in the shower, you get electric shocks from anything plugged in the garage, hes fixed none of this either edit 3: I guess i should make the intent more clear, we want him to compensate us for the damage and also not fucking evict us but I think the former is more pressing since I dont see how the latter would be legally possible. if he's genuinely planning on selling all his properties should we be organizing with the other tenants? edit 4: thanks so so much for all the responses so far. except for the ones trying to blame us for parking in our own driveway 100ft adjacent to the big ass tree we had no control over those ones can fuck off [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 12:22 PM PDT TLDR: My insurance company denied my medication due to an error in their system and it put me in the hospital in a lot of pain. Do I have grounds to sue them? I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at 16 and have had many hospital visits since. In August of 2019 my intestines had a scar tissue build up requiring me to get emergency surgery to remove part of my small intestine and part of my colon. I had been receiving Remicade infusions for my condition before this event but after a while my insurance company deemed it medically unnecessary. After the surgery they approved me again for an infusion while in the hospital. At this point I was in remission and the doctor said that with continued infusions I would be able to stay in remission. Then when it came time for my next infusion the insurance company denied it once again. (Also this medication cost around $43000 without insurance). My doctor's office and my parents both tried many times over a 6 month span to get me my medicine. Everytime though the insurance company denied their requests. Then in March of 2020 I came out of remission and had a flare up due to the lack of medicine. (Each of these flare ups is extremely putting me into screaming pain for hours on end). My parents now furious at this point with the fact that I'm back in the hospital once again are contacting the insurance company and finally get someone at the company to look into the my file. (Only because I was in the hospital once again). Come to find out the insurance company had made a mistake when denying the medication when I was supposed to be approved. This mistake left me without medication for that 6 month period and landed me in the hospital in a tremendous amount of pain. Does my family have grounds to sue the insurance company? Edit: I'm in Houston, TX Edit: Thanks for all the great info about Jansen carepath luckily I recently got into their program and I am getting my medicine soon! Edit: The insurance company said they had coded something wrong in their system and that caused me to be denied. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 01:16 PM PDT As the title says. I talked to him only with other people leading up to this and two of those people have already agreed to give me written statements saying I did nothing to encourage this behavior and I didnt in any way treat him differently than my other coworkers. He messaged me, my response was to the effect of "I dont know why you think I would be interested in you, I felt that I made it clear I wasn't, I have no interest in being friends with people who have a crush on me". He then asked me to talk to him the following week and kept insisting that "he knew I had feelings for him and I should give him a chance." I told him no again and after completely ignoring him for two weeks he sent me a LONG message about how he is having some type of spiritual awakening and believes he "manifested me into his life or I manifested him into mine". I told him he wasn't listening to me when I said I wasnt interested and to not contact me again. I don't feel physically threatened by him but I am thoroughly freaked out by his insistence that he knows how I "feel about him"... if he contacts me again I am going to file a no-contact order. I live in an at-will state (Washington) and while I am hoping it is over, I don't know whether I should involve my GM now or wait til I am filing the order if he does try and approach me again. If my company doesn't stand with me I have witnesses and text messages to prove all of this and I will consider taking legal action.... what should I know and how should I proceed?

| Can a hospital force staff to kneel for George Floyd memorial? [NJ] Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:54 PM PDT Posting for a friend. The hospital is having a BLM/ George Floyd gathering at work and they were told that everyone must kneel to show support. Friend actually supports the cause, but hates the management, and hates and being told what to do in this area - I imagine they could be fired for not kneeling, but is that against NJ labor law? They are not in a union. [link] [comments] |
| Daughter’s ex won’t accept breakup and won’t leave her alone Posted: 10 Jun 2020 02:57 PM PDT This is exactly as the title says. She's 19 and broke up with a boyfriend of less than a year about 7 months ago. He just won't accept it. She's been very clear and unwavering on the fact that she does not want to date him or have anything to do with him. He was controlling and possessive when they were dating, hence the breakup, and is now behaving like she owes him a relationship. When she blocks him on social media, it goes quiet for a bit, then he creates a new account and messages her. If she doesn't immediately respond he blows up her phone with "why aren't you answering me, I know you read this" messages. He has shown up at her work several times just to stand around and watch her. (The company has stated they will call the police if it happens again and trespass him) He's left expensive gifts, notes professing his love and now he sends messages not explicitly threatening but meant to unnerve her. The latest was a middle of the night message that said "maybe this will get your attention" then a couple hours later he sent a pic of a daemon looking creature...it just will not stop. We've gone to the police and filed a report. They were sympathetic but said none of this is illegal so there's nothing they can do. We've been told to not ever respond in any way. Not to even say stop. The officer said if her or I respond even to tell him to stop, it would be hard to ever make a harassment case if there's 2 way communication. My question is would having an attorney send a cease and desist letter be appropriate? We're in Texas. If we do and he continues to contact her, what else could we do? I just don't know what else to do. She's so stressed out distressed over this. I feel so helpless. [link] [comments] |
| I am 7 weeks pregnant and my MIL is threatening to fight for custody. What do I do? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 04:36 PM PDT I just want to to preface that she has never liked me. And I have proof of her threatening me and being racist via fake emails from a couple years ago. She used to cyber harass me in the past as well. What are my immediate actions? Edit: 23F, first kid. No police file. Australia, Melbourne. I have debt. Not even a parking ticket to my name. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 06:46 PM PDT Only my wife and I make mortgage payments. We don't want to keep the down money and my parents don't want the sale profit from house value. Any legal action we can make so we can have a piece of mind about it. Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| We believe a family "friend" has been hiding our dog for months because she got attached. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 06:43 AM PDT In march one of my mother in law's small dog was let out on the farm as she does every day along with the other dogs. She has gone to the edges of the property before but this time she didn't come back but the other small dog did. Cue posting fliers in all locations possible in the surrounding area and knocking on doors on all surrounding streets and notifying the groomer, vet, and animal shelters. We even asked (family friend) R is she had seen her and she said no. I could understand that the dog looked stray because she was very scruffy as she had a grooming appointment coming up and she went out without her color but she was a very loved and healthy young dog. It's been months and we had lost hope of finding her but we got a call yesterday from someone who has spoken to R's family who said that R did find a dog with the same description as ours and was telling family to not say anything to us because she had gotten attached. We went to R's house yesterday and she was holding a dog but it was a multicolored mini collie or such and instead of being friendly and extremely talkative like she usually is, R could not wait to get rid of us and dismissed anything we said quickly while repeatedly asking if we needed something. She is a well respected and very active member at our local church, apparently her family is loyal to her to not tell us for months that she has found a dog, our direct neighbor's who we have spoken to several times about it are best friends with R and have not directly answered anything just that they hope we find her. And to top it all off one of her family members is the Deputy Sheriff and also our old neighbor. We talked to her brother in law yesterday as well and he confirmed she picked up a small gray dog around that time frame and told us to go to her house and ask and if R won't return her then take it to court. I am fairly positive R has our dog from the tip we recieved and the Deputy's account. The problem is we haven't seen the dog with her and she wont talk to us which is very strange. I am at a loss at what to do. Hopefully she let it slip to someone else I know that she found a dog and they can confirm that she has more than the tri colored but if everyone is protecting her I feel we have run out of options. The dog is micro chipped and registered as well but we don't know if R knows that. My mother in law has said she would press charges or anything necessary to get the dog back as she has all the records I think she would need but I don't know what to do eithout having seen the dog. Any advise on a move forward would be greatly appreciated. We are in West Virginia. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 09:29 AM PDT I used to work for an ad agency in North Carolina. Things didn't work out — I ended up being terminated (with unemployment) over an argument we had. Termination date was Jan 13, 2020. I never signed a non-compete document upon being hired or terminated. Ever. Over the last 5 months, I started my own marketing agency. I got 3 clients. One of my new clients told my old clients (from previous agency) how well I was doing. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. Former clients reached out to me, asking if I was accepting any new clients. I said yes, I was. They told me they were ending things with my previous employer because they were unhappy with their work, then asked me to take them on, so I did. We signed contracts and we're good to go. During the marketing switch, they had to reach out to my former employer to hand over the access to their websites and hosting (I'm a digital ad agency). Former employer ignored us for weeks, refusing to forfeit the information. I found out this morning that she had a phone call with my client and said I signed a two year non-compete agreement, which is why she refused to transfer the websites. This never happened. In fact, when I used to work there, I warned her that she left herself open by not providing contracts or making anyone sign documents. She told me she didn't like all the fine print and chose to go without. The only thing I ever signed from her was a letter of acceptance, my tax doc, and then the letter of termination. Never once signed a non-compete and there were no clauses in the documents I did sign. My former employer has a past of photoshopping invoices and forging documents. I am very worried that she is going to create a fake document and forge my signature. She has copies of what my signature looks like, so it wouldn't be too hard for her to print it out and trace it onto a doc. Please help. I texted her this morning telling her that she blatantly lied and that I never signed anything. Now she wants to call me later. I don't want to talk to her. Can someone please give me some advice? Does she have a leg to stand on? Should I lawyer up now? TIA for any advice!! [link] [comments] |

| I allergic to plastic-polypropylene! My work now forces masks made of this; Help!! Posted: 10 Jun 2020 05:36 PM PDT To start, I have plastic allergy since birth. Recently, I have also had chronic sinus infection and poison ivy like rash on face. I thought i must have come into contact with plastic n touched my face.. oops, it will heal. Today i saw specialist after fever ensued at 6 wk of wearing mask- took covid test as sinus infection was causing cv-like symptoms, and i could not pass body temp test. Brought in sample masks to dr while being cleared to work again. He did in office test confirming allergy and informed me masks were 100% polypropylene (plastic). I had special accommodation letter i brought to work along with covid neg test, and i was told this is not reasonable accommodation to be given or allowed cotton masks at work (i make labels for store's products in meat factory btw far away from any other person- closest: 50 ft. away.). Also, rules in company change daily. I was socially shamed with ppl launching distance in HR between us -grown men saying ewwww, stay away from me, etc, and sent home till they can have meeting on it tomorrow am with plant mgr. What do i do help? Dr even specified wearing cotton mask underneath will not help n prooved it having me hold the layered pair on the back of my knee- huge rash followed by necessary immediate steriod injection to ease the flaring. Heelp! Advice needed before i have conference call tomorrow with them! Can they fire me? [link] [comments] |
| Can I kick out a roommates guest when the roommate is no longer home? Posted: 10 Jun 2020 01:14 PM PDT (Colorado) My friend's roommate had a guest who has been staying at the house for a few weeks without paying rent and has become a nuisance. Landlord said to get him arrested for trespassing. I'm assuming my friend can not call the police on him for trespassing when another tenant on the lease approves of the guest, however, is this still true when the tenant is out of the house? Does their roommate have the right to have guests even while they're not home? The guest is the significant other of another roommate who is not on the lease, but one tenant on the lease approves of this guest. [link] [comments] |
| Bank account closed. No explanation given Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:54 AM PDT So this morning, I tried to log into chase to see my balance like I do just about every day or every other day. I was having problems doing that so I tried on my computer, same issue. I call the bank and I was told my account has been permanently closed. I asked them why and they said they can't give me that information and I said well if you're closing my account for good I think I deserve some sort of explanation and she said "actually we don't have to give you an explanation". I was told that I'd receive a check in the mail with my balance in 7-10 business days and that I would never be able to open an account with chase again. I have absolutely NO idea what is going on and I am freaking out. A few years back, some suspicious activity was going on with my account from someone that lived in California (mind you I live in NY). They told me what was going on and they opened up a new account for me right away. THIS situation here is really making me worry. I checked my credit report to make sure that someone wasn't using my identity to open up any other accounts in my name. Everything seemed legit. Should I be worried? And are they allowed to withhold information from me regarding MY account if they suspect something fishy going on? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 02:06 PM PDT I live in Georgia, USA. I signed up for accommodations last semester, and recently they have been sending out a "Special Populations Newsletter" each month with resources for us- for which I am grateful. But I noticed there were more than 60 people CC'd, and I thought that that couldn't possibly be other students. We were told getting accommodations was confidential and no one would have to know besides our teachers, unless we disclosed the information to our peers if we wanted to. I decided to open the CC'd emails and.... they all had student in the email address. I recognized two names on the list before I closed it back out, one of which I had already known about her accommodations because she told me. The other I didn't know about, and I shouldn't know about. I decided to reach out to the SP coordinator to ask why it was sent like that. In order to shorten the rather long string of emails, I'll list the info I gathered in bullet points.
She ended up calling personally to apologize, but it felt more like "we're sorry your feelings got hurt" than a genuine apology. I was just going to let it slide but I felt like she was more worried about deescalating than the fact that our names are visible to everyone in the email. I get that only other people in special populations can see it, but that's not the point. I was led to believe no one would be made aware, and that did not end up being the case. I feel betrayed. I don't even know where to begin on trying to find out if there were any legal issues here. I just want to do something so this doesn't keep happening, because they didn't take me seriously. They spoke to me as if I was a child and said that they would do better in the future, as if 60+ of my peers don't already have my name and potentially know I'm in SPops when they shouldn't. Any pointers would be appreciated, even if it's letting me know I'm overreacting and there's no legal issue at hand. I just want to know where to go from here. [link] [comments] |
| Ex-Gf gave my number out and I am getting death threats Posted: 10 Jun 2020 01:28 PM PDT Okay guys here's the short version... I am 25. Was about to move in to an apartment with my girlfriend (in May) who is 20. I had a guy call me and say he had sex with my girlfriend in April. I had given her several chances to admit to me if she had ever cheated and she constantly denied it. When the guy randomly called asking if I was her boyfriend (he saw photos of me and her on my Instagram) he told me the truth and sent screen shots of their text... Next thing I know, another guy messaged me claiming he was "talking" to her for a month and he was absolutely pissed that she had a boyfriend the entire time.. So I broke up with her... Then the following happened. 1) One of the guys posted photos of us together saying #EXPOSED, she has had a boyfriend all year and had sex with another guy while also "talking" to me for a month. 2) He was going on chat sites and giving her number out in order to spam her phone. She was getting hundreds of texts and calls a day from random guys and being called a hoe. 3) My ex believed it was me getting revenge and gave my # to a guy in his 30s. This guy sent me a photo of a gun with bullets and a bunch of threatening texts saying she gave him my # and a photo of my drivers license.. He said he knows who my family is too. My youngest brother is 12 and I have been renting my parents guest house. So the thought of this crazy guy sending photos of a gun and threatening my parents/younger brothers home is insane.. 4) She called me and claimed that her friends credit card was stolen and she was being blackmailed by a person claiming to be me.... She's claiming that she filed a police report. The guy who she slept with behind my back has also been getting majorly harassed and spammed, also allegedly filed a police report against me. First off, I had nothing to do with any of this. Will the police just assume it's me? Anyone can call and claim to be someone but even then, let's say this person has a VPN, how could the police even trace whoever is doing this? How can I prove it's not me? Also, the fact that she gave some guy my address and he sent a photo of a gun with bullets.. Can she be charged with anything? My parents brand new mailbox was completely destroyed right when this started.. I have been getting random texts and threats on a regular basis. Assuming from text apps. Which, can be made under fake emails and then the accounts can be deleted making them not traceable. I am really scared because I was not involved, but if someone is cat fishing people and pretending to be me, would the local police even have a way to arrest me? If this went to someone like the FBI (would never happen) they could obviously prove it's not me. But does local law enforcement or county have the technology to trace IP addresses and locate texting apps? One of my biggest fears is that it seems like women can claim they were raped or make up stories and the police automatically side with the girl over the guy. This girl ended up being incredibly abusive during our relationship. At one point she punched me four times in the face, until her hand was bleeding because I accused her of cheating.. I was giving her rides to and from work everyday driving 3+ hours, I spent $7K spoiling her with clothes/jewelry and flowers every other week. I'm a nice guy and definitely didn't deserve what happened. I was also going to propose and to find out she was sleeping with who knows how many guys is incredibly hurtful, but it's even more hurtful knowing I could potentially go to prison over her lying to police. There's no telling what she told them. [link] [comments] |
| Bank made a mistake and cashed a check twice which seriously overdrew my account Posted: 10 Jun 2020 05:01 AM PDT TL;DR: About $10,000 is still missing and the bank is yet to return my money. 12 days later... I live in Ohio and got my driveway re-paved two weeks ago and paid the company with a check. When the company submitted the check for deposit the mobile system processed the check twice. So what should have been ~$10,000 withdraw from turned out to be ~$20,000. This severely overdrew my account because we only keep enough in that account to cover bills. I was charged $36 overdraft fee as well which I had to fight to get back. I got an alert on my phone that the account was overdrawn and got the mistaken withdrawal returned to bring my account back to positive which took three business days. Fun fact: if an account is overdrawn you can't use it. I got a call from the driveway company stating that the check bounced and they did not get paid which is puzzling because the original amount (~$10,000) is still missing. I called the bank again and they said "no the money did not go to the company and it will be returned to your account following an investigation as to what happened. This should take two business days" My wife and I discussed it and we wanted to pay our debt so we transferred from our savings account the money to cover the cost of the driveway and told the company we would deal with the bank. It has been 6 business days and still I do not have my money from the bank back in my account. Every time I call the bank I have to explain all of this to someone new and then they "contact a manager" and I get the run-around about the process and it should be resolved soon. I am by no means rich. We get by and this new driveway payment took quite some time to save. Is there anything that I should be doing other than calling the bank every single day until I get my money? Quick update: I finally spoke with someone that has decided to bird-dog this thing for me and try and get some answers about everything. She has called me almost too often to ask questions and give updates. She said she would call first thing in the morning if she has more to update. [link] [comments] |
| Was signed up for an MLM without my consent. Being ghosted by everyone now. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:53 PM PDT tl;dr - Wanted to buy product, but seller used my info to sign me up as a seller with an IC agreement. Now the seller and the main company have gone no-contact. Help? Looking online, I saw an advertisement to buy a bundle of products from a pretty large MLM. I spoke to the seller via instagram and told her that I did not with to enter into a contract or agreement, nor did I want to join as a seller myself, and that I was just wanting to purchase the bundle. She said in writing that there is "no contract" and that I wouldn't be joining anything. I paid via PayPal. Sure enough, I get the bundle with a letter from the company welcoming me to "the team" and congratulating me on starting my new business. The seller said they send that to everyone, but I confirmed with the company that I had been registered as a salesperson with an independent contractor agreement. When I sent the seller a screenshot of the email from the company, she blocked me, then completely deleted her instagram. I now can't get a response from the company about somehow accessing the account she created for me or how to get any information to nullify the contract. This person literally used my information to enter into a "legally binding business contract" (per the company's IC agreement). I did save screenshots of all of our correspondence before she deleted her account. I don't even know what my first step would be. This is fraud, yes? Because I've been tempted to go whole-hog with police reports and an IC3 complaint. Is that my only recourse? I'm in CA, seller is in NH, company is in UT. [link] [comments] |
| Can a venue charge 50% fee if Force Majeure is invoked? (Orleans Parish, Louisiana) Posted: 10 Jun 2020 03:51 PM PDT My wedding was supposed to be last week and it was rescheduled for August due to Covid. The venue sent us a reschedule agreement that includes a 50% fee if the wedding has to be canceled on the rescheduled date (the move puts the event into hurricane season). I looked into LA law as best i could (I'm not an attorney) and saw some conflicting things, some said we should go to a pre-contract state (I assume that means we get our money back, but nothing else) some seemed to say otherwise. If it is canceled, or if we don't want to risk it on the COVID side, do we have a leg to stand on? Thanks, JW [link] [comments] |
| Just Overheard a Sheriff's Deputy Openly Admit To Making Up Ordinance Violations Posted: 10 Jun 2020 07:03 AM PDT This just happened outside my office. A deputy came in to apologize to our zoning enforcer that he was going to have someone come in and double check on an ordinance violation he (the deputy) had issued. He said that "this usually works" but this time the person was upset and going in to the township hall to inquire about it further. I am beyond pissed off that this deputy came in and not only did this, but admitted to doing it in the past successfully. Where do I go? The Sheriff Department is most likely not going to care. Given the current climate, is making up ordinances even on the scale of needing to be reported? This is in Michigan, in a northern county. EDIT: Specifically the made up ordinance was for a lady feeding feral cats in her backyard. There is no ordinance against this. Should she be doing it? No. Should a deputy make up an ordinance to get her to stop? Hell fucking no. [link] [comments] |
| Person I did a car wrap for took the remaining material and refuses to give it back. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:11 AM PDT Myself and a friend have a car wrapping business and recently wrapped the car of a person we know. Upon finishing that job, without our knowledge, he left with the remaining material for the car that was left over. When we discovered this, we emailed them about it and asked for it back and explained that he didn't pay for that, he paid for the job to be done, and that the material bought for it is an expense that we have to pay for in order to complete it (like a baker buying flower). After 10 or so emails back and forth he refuses to hand over the remaining material. Here's where things are complicated slightly. The premises we use for wrapping cars is not owned by us. It is owned by a corporation that is 50% owned by my parents, and 50% owned by the parents of, you guessed it, the guy we did the wrap for. We operate in the facility with an agreement between all the shareholders that we can use that part of the premises. My question is, in lieu of that, is there any legal action we can take to get the material back? Or does the fact that his parents co-own the facility which the wrap was stored in technically not a theft, even though we bought it and have the receipt and such?

| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 10:07 AM PDT 30% of the company I worked for got laid off. Some in NYC and some in FL. I'm in FL. Due to Covid we were sent to work from home, and since no one was sure how long we'd be WFH, I didn't grab my personal belongings. About a month in there was a mass layoff. The company sent boxes to people's homes so they could send back the company property, but no one has heard any word on when/how they'd receive their own belongings from their desks. I have $300 headphones at my desk (along with some other things) that I am technically not allowed to grab, even though I still have a fob to the office, and I live a block away. I could simply walk in and walk out, but the company cut ties with all the ex employees and there has been no update. I heard from a coworker still working there that they're planning on slowly moving people back to the office in August, but that's still over two months away. It's already been two months, and I need my headphones. I have a right to my own personal belongings. What can I do? [link] [comments] |
| Skip the dishes delivery drivers. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 05:40 AM PDT Hey everyone. I am located in Canada. Recently I've installed a smart doorbell so I can keep an eye on the kid across my street who's got the cops called on him daily and swears at me when i see him. Completely unrelated to that however is the fact skip the dishes continually uses my driveway to get to my neighbors door as it's easier then walking around her grass and saves potentially 7-10 seconds of walking. I have emailed skip the dishes 6 times with pictures of their drivers hitting my cars and walking between them after complaining. They tell me I need to have the customers order number to do anything but my neighbors will not help me out. I've sent them all the pictures and asked repeatedly to help but the simply will not. What are my options as they are littering in my yard, parking extremely close to my vehicles and hit my vehicles with their red skip bags... Its driving me bonkers and I would appreciate any help or advice. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 10 Jun 2020 04:35 PM PDT This is in California. I have to give somewhat vague details because I don't want it to be too distinguishable. Basically, I was in a college production in late 2018, where I was the lead who had a love interest with an older man, and I'll use the name Wes because that was the character's name. Before we rehearsed any intimate scenes, the director, Wes, and I would discuss boundaries of kissing, touching, and clothes to wear during rehearsal. Every time we had an intimate scene, he would take it a too far. And I'd stop him to remind him, he would reply "I just forget we're rehearsing." Or "I'm just not used to not using my tongue when kissing." It started happening so often that it didn't seem like he was forgetting anymore, he just kept doing it. But I kept quiet because I didn't want to seem "unprofessional" and like I complained too much. He would always wear basketball shorts and during several scenes he would push his pelvis into me and I could feel more than I wanted to. He definitely had at least a semi. Eventually it went further and he open mouth wet kissed my breast during a scene. When we agreed beforehand to only go as far down as the top of my neck. The director stopped the scene and called for break. She pulled me to her office said she saw what happened and I broke down and told her about everything during rehearsal that he's done (more than what I typed here). She agreed he was taking advantage of me and the situation and we need to report it to the dean. After telling the dean, she told me, verbatim, "I have tens of thousands of dollars riding on this. You either work with him or you leave." I reported it to the school, and they investigated. After interviewing the director, they concluded that there was no assault. The investigator told me that the director claimed that he only kissed my neck and what I said wasn't true. (This was the same director that told me she saw what happened and to report it). The people involved with the play covered it up. I left the show about a week before tech started. My question is if I just go public about this, is it possible for them to sue me or could anything happen to me where I'd get into legal trouble? If so, is there a way to go public without any legal and financial consequences? [link] [comments] |
| Neighbours boarded up my window... & use powertools without warning. Vic, Australia. Posted: 10 Jun 2020 04:12 PM PDT Next door is a gluten free dessert restaurant that's opening their outdoor area to customers soon. It's directly outside my bedroom window. I have a loft bed attached to the wall & it is extremely loud when they use power tools without warning. I can also hear every wood they speak very clearly. They literally boarded my window up permanently for my "privacy" it has cut out 75% of my natural light. There are tiny gaps between each bit of wood. I am rental tenant & I'm not sure if there's anything I can do. [link] [comments] |
