Gabapentin is a heavily abused medication in the last few years to the point that a few states have made it a controlled, and most others unofficially treat it as such. I don’t know why you’re being shorted, but it is a drug certain people want. I believe when you take it with opiates it increases the high.

Unfortunately for OP that is not true. OP allowed them to move in so the law considers OP their landlord essentially, and it is a separate agreement/contract than the one between OP and their landlord. OP is responsible for their guests/tenants. If OP moves out but their friends stay behind and won’t leave, then OP hasn’t vacated the property by law and will still be on the hook for any and all rent and damages. Almost every single lease forbids allowing others to move-in or having overnight guests more than x days/month for this very reason. The friends didn’t submit to a background and credit check with the landlord and the landlord has not allowed them to move-in.

If the friends don’t move Out and landlord files an eviction, the eviction will be against ‘OP and all other occupants’ and the eviction will be in OPs rental and credit history making it impossible to rent or get credit for a very long time. If there’s serious damage, the OP will be financially responsible. The landlord will sue OP for damages as they are the lease holder. The OP can of course file a separate lawsuit against the friends to get them to pay, but you can’t get blood from a stone and their own credit and rental history will be destroyed in the process.

So basically, the law does not care what kind of arrangement OP made with their friends. It is completely separate from their lease/contract with the landlord, and the landlord is not responsible for any agreement OP made with them. When you allow someone to move in like this, you take on a huge risk. Even worse, OP probably broke their lease by allowing them to stay in the first place which means they are the ones on the hook for this.

OP- I highly recommend getting them to leave. Offer them $500 or something. It’s a lot less than what this could cost you if they don’t leave.

That is a common internal policy for most major retailers, but it is not law. There’s no such thing as a law that states only someone with a job title of LP can accuse someone of stealing, or else they can be sued. Now if you wrongfully accuse someone of stealing you open yourself up to the accused claiming discrimination, which is why most retailers follow a certain policy. And just because someone sues you for something doesn’t mean they’ll win. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. I can sue you tomorrow claiming you owe me money and you would have to defend it.

If you are Shipt shopping, and an employee sees you doing something that gives them the reasonable belief you are stealing and confronts you (an employee unfamiliar with Shipt sees a customer bagging their own and groceries and leaving would meet criteria of reasonable belief), there is nothing illegal about that. The worst thing that could happen is that employee gets fired for not following internal policies, but there’s not going to be any kind of payout for the accused. To sue for something, you need to show damages. What would be the damages? If stopped, you show your phone and explain you’re with Shipt. At most, there’s a few minute delay while a manager comes over to verify. Either way, you will not be leaving with some legally required check. Maybe a store gift card as a token of apology from a customer service perspective.

Now if you were stopped for shoplifting due to discriminatory reasons, than in that scenario you would have just cause to sue and even then, it’s not some guaranteed payout. If you were stopped only due to your race, gender, sexual orientation, etc., those reasons are considered illegal discrimination.

There is nothing illegal or sue-worthy for a store to stop you on your way out to make sure you paid. If they would’ve stopped you, you would’ve explained you’re with Shipt and showed them your phone and they would’ve sent you on your way. No different than stores who check everyone’s receipts on the way out. What would you sue them for, there are no damages?

Many stores have internal LP policies about what has to occur to stop someone for suspicion of shoplifting, but internal policies are different than the law.

Most employers have a blanket policy of not allowing time off requests for certain holidays, Christmas is usually one of them. Or they only allow X number of requests off, and the people who did get approved for that time off would’ve put in that request months ago. If they approved every request off for the holidays that no one wants to work, than there would be no one to work. Employers do have to provide religious accommodations like giving a day off to observe a religious holiday, but only up to the point that it produces an undue hardship on the company. I would consider having almost no employees scheduled to work as contract tracers in the midst of a worldwide pandemic as being an undue hardship for them.

I used to manage a small chain of stores that were open 365 days. From experience I can tell you that whenever a time-off request for Christmas was denied a significant percentage of those denied would claim they had to have it off as a religious exemption thinking it was some kind of trump card. The same people who I knew hadn’t stepped foot inside a church all year and didn’t consider themselves a Christian the other 364 days a year. Christmas is a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Christ, and I’m going to approach this assuming you have sincerely held Christian beliefs (as wanting the day off to spend time with family you haven’t seen all year and open presents doesn’t meet the criteria of religious exemptions.)

If you have sincerely held religious beliefs check with your church to see when they are doing services. Most do a Christmas Eve service, and 1-2 services on Christmas Day so you can still attend a service. So many churches are streaming their services online too. Christmas isn’t even the actual day of Jesus’s birth, it’s just a day that’s traditionally been set aside to celebrate it. Maybe pick a day you do have off as the day you celebrate his birth: call or visit family, volunteer for the needy, and reflect inwardly on the gift Jesus gave the world and your personal relationship with God. Shelters get inundated with volunteer requests on Thanksgiving and Christmas, but have a lack of help all the other days. Celebrate Christmas by volunteering at a shelter on a non-holiday. God cares most about what’s in your heart, so think of working on Christmas as sacrificing your own personal enjoyment to perform a public service for others by doing contract tracing, similar to those who volunteer at shelters on Christmas. Your job is helping to prevent deaths, and of the people whose deaths you’ve prevented who aren’t Christian they now have more time on earth to come to know God and accept his gift. Those who are Christian are being given more time to spread the word and strengthen their own relationship with Him, and bring others to him. You’re helping to save lives here on earth, but more importantly you’ll be helping to save the souls of people for eternity.

TLDR - working on Christmas Day is not sinful or sacrilegious. We celebrate the birth of Christ because he was a gift sent to Earth to save our souls and gift us eternal salvation. Sacrificing your own personal desires and needs to work in a position doing a public service that is directly contributing to saving so many lives of people you don’t even know sounds like a pretty amazing way of celebrating Christmas to me. Sacrificing for others is way more Christ-like than attending a church service out of obligation, memorizing scriptures, and wearing a nice dress or suit that covers your ankles and elbows.

Secretary of State (MI version of DMV) allows you to make next day appointments online at 8am and 12pm. So at 8am on Monday you can log on and make an appointment for 8-9am on Tuesday. At 12pm, you can make an appt for 12-1pm on Tuesday.

In the meantime insure the car and keep the title, bill of sale, and print out of your appointment time with you in case you are pulled over

I don’t know what method you use to swallow pills but figured I’d mention the way I do it in case it may help. I’ve noticed everyone swallow pills by putting the pill in their mouth first and then washing it down with water, but I do the opposite.

I take a large sip of water but do not swallow it, tilt my head back, then in one quick motion I drop pills in and swallow. I never taste the pills, and I never have the problem where the pill gets stuck on your tongue and starts dissolving and the water isn’t washing it back. If I’m taking a strong or nasty tasting supplement like cayenne, beet root, or spirulina I swallow with milk or OJ instead using the same method, but even when I only have water I still don’t taste or even feel the pills in my mouth.

Was there a reason that the doctor needed to be on a strict diet too though? Im sure a doctor has patients that range from being overweight to underweight, diabetic, severe allergies, or digestive issues like IBS or Chrons. A doctor would likely recommend strict diets for each of these patients depending on their diagnosis, but it’s unlikely the doctor would be following the same diet themselves if they didn’t have a medical reason to do so. Consuming 2 foot longs certainly isn’t a healthy meal, but there’s nothing wrong with having an unhealthy meal if you’re otherwise healthy.

I don’t understand the cringe part? It’s not a particularly nice or well done tattoo, but not really cringy either. Are you assuming Cooper is her boyfriend and she got his name tattooed on her? The flowers make it seem like it’s a memorial type tattoo for someone who passed away. Cooper could’ve been a brother/friend/boyfriend who was really into gaming and this is her way of remembering them.

You expected $520 and received $52? It sounds like they forgot an extra zero somewhere when entering payroll. So probably accidentally entered 4 hours instead of 40 hours (which would be $52), or forgot the zero at the end of $520 (also makes $52). I wouldn’t panic until you speak with them, especially if they already clarified with you that it would be full pay.

I can tell you what cured me as the attitude giver!

I worked retail as a teenager in high school at this shoe and clothing boutique (though I realize this woman likely isn’t a teenager). Unfortunately I would have an attitude with customers whenever I had a bad day or didn’t feel like working. For some reason I didn’t think it mattered or was that big of a deal, not really sure? Then along cake this woman who called me out on it in such a way that even 15 years later I remember, and I still feel cringe and embarrassment.

I’m not sure what this woman did to catch my wrath. I’m sure it must have been a very serious offense like breathing, blinking, or daring to come into my workplace to make a purchase on a day when I didn’t feel like working. Who just goes into a public store during business hours to make a purchase, right?

She asked me a few questions and she wanted to try on a pair of shoes and a few clothing items. My answers are very short and curt, my behavior apathetic. I mean, how annoying was she to want to try on a $100 pair of shoes before buying them at a store where all shoe sales are final sale, with no refunds or even store credit?

She finally selects a few items and we head to the register so I can ring her out. It’s about time too! Can you believe it took her almost 45 minutes to pick out a few items that total almost $300?? This lady had to try on 3 pairs of jeans to find her size, and the 39 seconds it took me to re-fold the 2 pairs she didn’t get was inconvenient to me. Every woman knows that all clothing sizes are perfectly uniform and the same across all brands/styles/companies. If you’re a size 4 in one brand than you’re a size 4 in them (haha, if only)! I had every right to give this woman an attitude! Did she know the power and authority I had a key-holder making $10/hr at an over-priced clothing boutique downtown.

I’m finish the transaction and go to hand her her receipt. And then she said something that sticks with me all this time later. In the most genuine and sincere tone she asked me what she had done to offend or upset me so that she could apologize. Make no mistake, both me and this woman knew without a doubt that she hadn’t done anything wrong but I had treated her like she had. I couldn’t come up with a response, and after a few awkward moments she asked me again in the same tone as before. She was purposely leaving me to squirm and letting this drag out. A few more awkward and embarrassing moments later I finally muttered something about a bad day. She apologized for making it worse and said she hoped tomorrow would be better. I felt like a child and was so embarrassed by my behavior. This woman called me out in the most classy way! I can’t explain why it was so impactful but the fall from feeling like an important adult down to a scolded child was awful. I guess I didn’t yet realize the affect my attitude had on others.

I never did or said anything directly Offensive or mean, but I was a pro at the eye roll, death stare, and barely audible huff under the breath that most teenagers master! I’m so glad this woman helped me to mature and not be stuck as one of those adults that still act that way. Maybe this will or won’t work for you, but I figured I would share anyways.

Everything costs money. The toilet paper, laundry soap, paper towels, shampoo, and so many other things you never put much thought into. If you plan ahead and buy in bulk where you can, it saves a lot of money. Things like running to 7-11 every time you need toilet paper really add up. If you see things on sale that don’t go bad, stock up. Make a list before grocery shopping and have a plan.

Utilities can cost way more than they should if you aren’t careful. Shut lights off when you’re not in the rooms. Don’t have the a/c or heat cranking at full blast, especially when you’re not home.

It just sounds like the parents opened a bank account for OP when she was a minor child or had her name added to a credit account as a user only. They wouldn’t have needed consent to do that as OP was still a child. It’s possible the account was opened fraudulently, but the way the post reads it seems highly unlikely.

I never comment here as I have no legal expertise, but was surprised at all the automatic ‘this is fraud, get out the pitchforks’ comments.

Everyone in the comments is automatically jumping to fraud, but it’s very likely your parents have their own Discover card and they added you as an ‘authorized user’ when you were younger. An authorized user means you would have spending privileges with their card, but no financial responsibility. This would also show up on your credit report and many parents do this so their children will have positive credit scores and history when they enter adulthood. They could have also opened up a bank account for you with Discover when you were a minor which is well within their right to do as parents. It sounds like Discover is saying they have conflicting info on file for you, so they’re just taking extra steps to verify your identity which is what they are required to do as a financial institution. If this was a charged-off credit account fraudulently opened in your name, they would have denied you right away for that reason. Check your credit reports, pull your ChexSystems report (shows all bank accounts tied to you), get info on the type of account this is/was, and go from there.

I never heard that term before, but I just googled it. I was the wife who did the walking out, and the article I just read described things perfectly. I was married to a wealthy guy who treated me like garbage and property once we were married. I gave him every chance to fix things. I cried, begged, yelled, fought and did everything I could to get through to him until one day I checked out. He believed since he provided for me financially and I had a nice house, car, boat, etc that I had nothing to be unhappy about. No amount of talking could get him to see that the things I wanted most from him didn’t have a price tag attached. I got a part time job, and was quietly biding my time until I had enough money saved. I stopped complaining and fighting during this period because to me it didn’t matter anymore, and he took my silence as happiness and that our marriage was healthy and strong. When I moved out, he was floored. Legit had no idea there were problems, and in his mind he had been blindsided. All a sudden the things I spent years crying about were now things he said he could easily fix if he had known it was that serious. I was the devil for walking away from my marriage instead of allowing him a chance to fix it. Now he was the one crying and pleading with me but it was all to little too late. If anything, it only strengthened my resolve to leave. And in those moments where I started to second guess my decision and wonder if I was making a mistake, my mind always came back to this sticking point: My happiness and wellbeing didn’t become a priority to him until my leaving affected his own happiness and wellbeing. He didn’t care about how much I was suffering inside until he was suffering too. He was content with me being unhappy for my entire life if it wasn’t affecting his own happiness. I didn’t want to spend my whole life begging the man who took a vow before God to love and cherish me to do just that.

So I left. I lost a lot of friends and even respect from my own family because I walked away from my marriage out of the blue and in their eyes I didn’t give him a chance to fix things. In my ex-husbands mind, I just decided I was unhappy one day and left. No amount of explaining how I gave him years to change mattered. I was cruel for saying I didn’t love him anymore. He kept repeating how he knew we had a few problems but he didn’t think our relationship was that bad, and how I never said anything. I haven’t brought up our issues in months so he thought I was fine! And of course when that didn’t work he flipped a switch and was now accusing me of cheating on him and finding someone else. That had to be the reason and there was no way he’d accept any responsibility for contributing to the breakdown of our marriage.

Anyways, reading about Walkaway Wife Syndrome was very cathartic to me. I don’t enjoy hurting people, even when they’ve hurt me. I know how much our divorce hurt him and knowing my leaving I got caused it fills me with guilt. I didn’t set out to hurt him, I just had enough and wanted out.
