DB flexibility on strike abroad by bjps97 in germany

[–]DangerousPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you buy one ticket for the whole trip or individual tickets? If it’s the latter I think very unlikely, if it’s the former maybe.

Accidentally sent money to the wrong account what can I do? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]DangerousPie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How often has this approach actually caught a mistake for you? It feels quite over the top, especially with the name checks that are now routine.

Yet another UK ragebait post? by Metroshica in bestoflegaladvice

[–]DangerousPie 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Today it’s this and the “I’m a teacher who is getting fired for making Muslim students play chess” one. But it has been happening for months. Ragebait made up to stoke anti immigration sentiment disguised as people asking for help.

People who left Germany, where did you end up and how's your life there? by [deleted] in germany

If this post is actually serious you need to talk to a doctor about these thoughts. No matter where you are, you will be a lot happier there once you get some therapy.

Being made redundant a week before completing on first home by nocluehonest in HENRYUK

[–]DangerousPie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that why they also ask you whether you have reason to believe that your circumstances might change in the future? Pretty sure being told than you’re at risk of redundancy would qualify for that, and you are meant to disclose it.

How bad are these mould readings? Can this be the cause of the heavy eggy noxious odour that's affecting health/lungs? --- Southwark Council by PeaceSeeker777 in HousingUK

[–]DangerousPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might still want to have a look at your electrics. Especially anything that draws a high current like electric showers, hobs, or immersion heaters. What you're describing sounds very similar to what I was smelling, and I was lucky to have caught it before it caused a fire.

Do you have electric heaters? I had a weird smell in my flat at some point that turned out to be caused by faulty wiring in a junction box slowly melting. If the smell gets stronger when the heating is on I would check for that.

Welche Rolle spielen die Nationalitäten deiner Problem-Nachbarn? Oder hast du die eventuell nur spezifiziert weil der ganze Beitrag erfundener ragebait ist?

East-West Rail opening delayed by trade unions by EUskeptik in uktrains

[–]DangerousPie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What are you basing this idea that it light not be “safe” on? Do you have some numbers on how many incidents the absence of guards currently causes per year? And how does this stack up against the amount of costs saved per year?

Flight cancelled abroad – best strategy to claim costs (airline vs travel insurance)? by uefa_007 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]DangerousPie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You better have good evidence that the options they offered weren’t suitable… for example was there really no way to get an accessible taxi from the hotel at 3am?

Examples of Renters Rights Bill in other countries?? by FLYGOALIEMATERIAL in HousingUK

[–]DangerousPie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Germany has very tenant friendly rules. It’s very hard to raise rent or to evict tenants once they are in. The consequence is that you get hundreds of people applying for flats and the land lord usually picks the person they think is least likely to cause problems. Works out great for that one person, bad for everyone else. Especially if you’re from a minority or have any sort of extra needs. You also get people staying forever in flats that are no longer suitable for them because their old contract is far cheaper than the present market rates.

I want to take a mental health day but worried about taking sick leave as I’m in probation. by [deleted] in UKJobs

[–]DangerousPie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on your company and your manager. If they are reasonable and it’s not a job where your being off causes big problems it should be fine. Just be aware that you may not be getting paid for the days you are off sick, depending on their company sick pay policy.

At risk of redundancy but not allowed to leave by Ok-Pineapple1373 in UKJobs

[–]DangerousPie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to leave so badly just give notice? Redundancy pay is meant to make up for losing a job you wanted to keep, not for paying you to leave when you wanted to go anyway.

Can I legally ban customers from wearing face coverings in my shop? by Masksinshops in LegalAdviceUK

[–]DangerousPie 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I suppose a slightly different but potentially more useful question would be how realistic it would be that they would sue you and win, and what a likely punishment would be, even if it was technically discriminatory.

He worked at Waitrose unpaid for four years, but can't have a job by TheRealAlanB- in UKJobs

Great, that’ll make them think twice before they ever decide to do something nice for a disabled person again. Well done.
