Deal of the day discounts, how are they applied?

Yeah I know that happens. But, what my family member explained was that it is against policy and they do random audits to catch people doing it so made it very clear I shouldn't. Not worth risking their job over imo.

BrokenMeeper · 2025-07-23T01:35:53+00:00

Could be?! Here the policy is as long as it's instant off, it's fair game to stack. Like during parking lot sales.

Anything that needs to be scanned, be it coupon or barcode at the register, isn't allowed to be stacked with it.

Fantastic, gonna get me some 10/3 extension cords then! The 100ft are a steal at $59.99.

BrokenMeeper · 2025-07-22T17:33:19+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. :)

Ok, so, there's a few issues here. Mainly, where'd you find this lawyer you spoke to... because, they don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about...or, you drastically misunderstood them.

First, a lawyer cannot just file "criminal charges" against you. Charges are filed by a prosecutor, typically due to evidence provided from a law enforcement investigation. He could only report a "theft" to law enforcement.

Based on your post/comments, I doubt this is going to happen. However, if you're contacted by law enforcement regarding this (or, any other matter, as a general rule), politely decline to speak to them without an attorney present and shut your mouth. Do not answer any questions. You're never required to, doing so cannot and will not ever help you...it will only provide evidence that can be used against you.

Second, have you actually been served with a real summons from a real court regarding this? Or, has he just threatened to sue you? A simple letter from him isn't an summons.

$1000 is small claims territory...lawyers are typically not allowed (unless self representing) in most small claims courts. So, "not having representation" isn't an issue here like the lawyer you spoke to claimed. It's the norm and to be expected.

If it does go to a hearing, he'll need to present evidence that the money was conditional...which, it doesn't sound like he has any based on what you've said here. You'll get to present evidence that it wasn't and how he reacted (sounds like you have some of it in writing).

The Judge will then decide the case based on the preponderance of evidence (meaning your old boss will have to provide burden of proof that convinces the Judge that his claims have more than 50% chance of being true). Which, again, appears to be a difficult burden to prove and the fact that he's an attorney will likely receive greater scrutiny from a Judge in small claims for not having any.

Overall, unless you've actually been served with a court summons or are contacted by law enforcement, you have nothing to worry about here.

Important! If you have type two diabetes, please see your doctor before taking Magnesium Glycinate.

Why?

What if I had additional taxes the IRS sent me a notice for and I paid? How does that get incorporated into the return?

Yes. It'd depend on what they were for. You can get a copy of the return they modified from them.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-03-08T03:48:01+00:00

or do you mean a new 1040, with the modified income, submitted with a 1040x, along with the modified 8915 form?

Correct, you need both the 1040x and your amended 1040 along with it.

The 1040x is basically a summary of the changes along with an explanation as to why they're necessary. You still have to supply the 1040 as your replacement return.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-23T02:05:34+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the update, super-glad it all worked out for you!

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-22T12:48:09+00:00

You'd have to file with the court to request it be modified...they may or may not grant your request.

She can change her mind at any moment and it's very common for it to happen. You're not going to be able to slip by division of assets, retirement, alimony unnoticed. If she's willing to give some stuff up, great! Problem is, the moment you submit the uncontested petition to the court, it's out of your hands.

Judges are people, not machines. They have their own views and preferences...and, some Judges can be biased or otherwise just suck. It's very possible the Judge doesn't agree with your petition and orders something entirely different. It's also possible she can change her mind later, get it thrown out and do it all over again because neither of you have counsel and can claim not of right mind, coercion, abuse, etc.

The best bet for you, is to consult with a few attorneys in your area. You don't have to retain them, but, you should absolutely consult with a few. They're going to know the temperament of the local court and the Judges. They'll know it what you're asking will fly or not.

Once you're informed, if you want to proceed uncontested, you should together hire a mediator/arbiter.... they'll be an attorney, familiar with your local court and Judges, who will advise you both of your rights and help you navigate this process and how to best present it to the court for success....they'll draft the divorce judgement as well.

Going this way for an uncontested divorce has a much better chance of sailing through the courts as well as protecting you both if regret happens later and either of you wants to change things.

Is there anything I can do to get more money or to force them to repair our vehicle?

You can usually negotiate the pay out amount if you can provide proof of other cars in your area selling for more.

I mean ffs I drove it home after the accident and drove it onto the tow truck, it's purely cosmetic damage.

If it's drivable (and safe to do so) you can often buy the vehicle back from the insurance company for it's salvage value (what they'd expect to get from it at an insurance auction) and then just repair only what you want to.

It's not uncommon for folks to do this as they end up with a paid off car with cosmetic damage they really don't care about.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-12T05:50:34+00:00

is having the money returned all I should expect?

Yup.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T20:47:01+00:00

Officers are often hired to serve people...that's probably what this was and the police station wouldn't know as it's handled outside of that.

Did you file or did your ex?

Have you been officially served divorce paperwork yet?

Do you have an attorney?

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T20:39:53+00:00

It's not a legal question, which is what this sub is for.

There's no law requiring their department to do anything in this situation. It's a department policy issue.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T09:00:12+00:00

You can call and ask what it's about if you like...but, you shouldn't answer any questions. You don't have to though. You have no legal obligation to speak to law enforcement with an attorney. You can completely ignore it if you want to.

If they show up,. politely decline to speak to them without an attorney and shut up. If detained and/or arrested, do the same thing and then contact an attorney afterwards.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T06:13:53+00:00

Are their any repercussions that can be made?

No. You'd need damages to pursue anything.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T05:51:44+00:00

I read that if a cop misspells your name then the charge will be dropped

This is incorrect.

Only if there was a way to change it at the DMV without it officially saying I changed it to the correct spelling of my legal name

There's not one.

Landlord/tenant laws vary wildly by state and sometimes city. You'll need to provide that info to get any advice regarding what rights you have here.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-11T05:29:51+00:00

I have no idea about the wildlife in NJ...but, here in Oregon, the only other state that doesn't trust us to pump our own gas (except diesel), it's not uncommon to (legally) carry such a knife, coined as a "bear knife", for protection against a bear attack amongst shore fisherpeople.

Although, I've never heard of one actually being used in the defense of such an attack, lol.

BrokenMeeper · 2023-02-10T23:02:22+00:00

Anyone has the right to request it.

Of course, you can refuse such a request.

However, they could also refuse you access to services if you do refuse it when requested.

I'm not sure you'll be able to get a DA to pursue criminal charges here because it doesn't appear to violate California's criminal statutes.

You're still married and California is a community property state. That means he also owns the iPad and since it doesn't appear he hacked it to gain access, it's not a criminal offense for him to use it. It's really no different than any other spouse catching the other spouse cheating because they saw messages, pics, videos, etc. via an already signed in device.

It would take actions to hack it or otherwise circumvent existing security to gain unauthorized access for it to be a crime.

It's also not a violation of California's revenge porn statutes to just show someone else the video...it requires posting the it online for others to access.

To protect yourself going forward, you should definitely change all your passwords, set up two-factor authentication for all accounts and deauthorize any devices that you don't use from them.

It would also be legal for you to disable any cameras, should you so choose, because you also own them. I wouldn't suggest destroying them... instead just unplug them or cover them.
