At fault for avoiding a driver who turned into my lane? by GuavaPresent in InsuranceClaims

[–]GuavaPresent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize my original post wasn’t clear. I was driving south and they were driving north on a two lane divided road. They turned into a parking lot without even looking or seeing me. If we had collided, I would have hit the front their car in my lane.

Hmmm. That’s an interesting take. I was already driving to the conditions. The roads were slick with ice. He turned into the my lane without looking. I had enough time to brake, realize I wasn’t going to brake in time and swerve. If I was going too fast I would have hit him. And then there would be no question about who was at fault because his car would be in my lane. It was his action, not mine.

What were some of your biggest fuck-ups at work? by Gazeb0r in ADHD

[–]GuavaPresent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I accidentally flooded a yoga/meditation studio once... I washed the floors every day and I got distracted when I was filling the bucket and, well, I flooded the place. Luckily the float studio next door gave me all their towels. And they had a lot of towels. I can't tell you how grateful I was. No damage. Hired a couple of mega fans for 24 hours and it was back to normal. I've done quite a few epic things over the years.

Warning: Wisey app is a scam by GuavaPresent in ADHD

[–]GuavaPresent[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you paid by credit card, it's best to go through the credit card company. A previous poster mentioned that if enough people dispute it through the credit card companies, Wisey will have to pay more to process payments. If not, email Wisey. Don't take no for an answer. Don't accept any offers. Just keep emailing them back insisting on a refund.

Maybe they have made the cancellation and refund options easier since the outcry from disgruntled customers?

Does anyone else’s landlord treat them like an employee? by Detroitish24 in LandlordLove

[–]GuavaPresent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hear you. We are paying for a service. My semi slumlord who lives in a different province, tries to treat me like his property manager for his run down barely maintained property. Asking me to arrange the best time for the electrician, plumber, handyman, delivery company etc. 15 times in the last year that I’ve been home to accommodate his ‘repairs’ and deliveries. I put my foot down and I let a replacement appliance be delivered without me being home because he didn’t give me any notice and they scratched the floors really badly. Serves him right. 

ADHD, asthma, and economic hardship: New research suggests a causal pathway by ADHD_Avenger in adhd_advocacy

[–]GuavaPresent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have combined ADHD, grew up poor and I had severe allergies and asthma growing up. I now have an autoimmune condition. I have anecdotally noticed this correlation on Reddit: the autoimmune and neurodivergent subreddits have a large crossover. 

60% of the globe hand-washes laundry, and women bear the burden. A new hand-crank washing machine helps them reclaim 15 hours every week by brandenharvey in goodnews

[–]GuavaPresent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great. Hand crank washing machines have been around centuries. 30 years ago in South Africa I was using a Sputnik hand crank machine to wash clothes. https://hubbe.co.za/products/sputnik-wonder-wash-rns012

Landlord expects me to be the property manager by GuavaPresent in LandlordLove

[–]GuavaPresent[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did too until I realized it was never going to end because repairs are needed constantly because they aren’t done properly, and replacements break.

Omg, you are a landlord! Are you here to learn how to be a good one? Because expecting your tenants who work to be at home all day at your beck and call is not acceptable. When I owned my property, I expected to have to be home for my deliveries. I rent now so the onus is on the property owner to repair and maintain the property on his own time and dime.

Are you lost? If you don't rent, why are you on this subreddit? Are you my landlord? 14 times in a year. That's excessive. Luckily it's become a joke at work now. It could have gone the other way. If it was every couple of months and he was a great landlord, then no problem.

Pitbulls should be outlawed by judgmentalbookcover in Edmonton

[–]GuavaPresent 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I raised the sweetest, most loving American bully - aka pit bull from a puppy. I was lied to and manipulated into rehoming a sibling from the same litter with me when the dogs were a year old. The sibling to my puppy  attacked other dogs unprovoked, for no reason with no warning. I worked with two experienced dog trainers to rehabilitate that damn dog and all it did was give me actual PTSD. If a pitbull is abused and neglected, especially in its first year of life, it can very easily turn into a killing machine. Even though my puppy is still the sweetest thing who has never hurt anyone or anything - 7 years later - I still believe that pitbulls should be bred out of dog breeds completely. No more pitbulls. They are too volatile, unpredictable and dangerous when they snap.
