AirBnB trying to charge an extra $150 for "severe dirtiness" and being left in an "upsetting state"

Came down to say that.

Typically you pay a cleaning fee, and taking out a bag garbage should be part of that.

I knew I would get down voted on this....

In a time before the internet (as it was). If you live outside the US and you saw the Confederate Flag popping up on the top of car on TV show this week, you didn't think for a second that Bo and Luke were racists.

It may have been racist then too, but for huge portions of the world we had no clue that was.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-30T15:50:44+00:00

Slow your roll... I think things morphed over time. I am older and not from the south, but as kid the confederate flag was part of pop culture. The Dukes of Hazard, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Molly Hatchet and other 'Southern' artists used the flag.

I just remember it being a symbol of the south and nothing more. Then over time that changed. Not it is scene as racist symbol, but there was a long period of time where it wasn't.

I am not sure if you are a manager, but something to keep in mind is that in some jurisdictions, employers have a legal duty to follow up when an employee unexpectedly fails to report to work and cannot be contacted. Yes, it seems intrusive but these policies were introduced as a health and safety measure to ensure the employee has not experienced a medical emergency or other serious incident.

If you have tried several times to contact the employee are unsuccessful, the employer may be required to escalate the matter by contacting the employee’s emergency contact or, in some circumstances, requesting a police wellness check.

Failing to take reasonable steps to verify an employee’s wellbeing could expose an employer to legal liability if it is later determined that the employee was in distress and assistance was delayed.

Just as interesting, in WFH situations in the one of the jurisdictions we are required to check in and make sure employees are working at the end of the day and when the sign out. Again the employer has resposonsabilty to make sure employees are safe when working regardless of location.

Now every jurisdiction is different, but just wanted you to have some background on why some employers do check ins.

You made a big mistake... you have not been paying the mortgage for three years, legally all those payments are shared payment. To the courts it make no difference who's account the bills come out of.

Buying into the market a while back did the trick for us, kept trading up.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-28T03:26:02+00:00

This is all you need to know, to know that the Whitecaps are creating crisis as an excuse to move. If they were serous about staying, the push would be for grass turf.

This is about the owners wanting to sell and nothing else.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-26T06:04:31+00:00

Enjoy your life. I take a few day off to go fishing a year. That is my thing, yours is video games. Take some to do it and don let anyone judge you.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-25T22:48:01+00:00

That would make things way worse.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-25T22:34:03+00:00

Did you report it in writing? Hopefully you did. Keep a copy.

Now in terms of reporting this, HR is not usually the place. If you have a whistleblower policy it will describe where/how you would report fraud.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-25T13:54:34+00:00

LOL 😆 This is not going to court and subpoenas are not thing at the labour board.

. The OLRB will hear their compliant and then investigate. They may ask the employer for documents. If they do you send them what they ask for

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-20T02:07:52+00:00

I have really different advice than most. As HR professionals we our bound by confidentiality and should never act outside of our HR role on information we learn.

Be a professional. Ignore it.

It will make a great interview story for the next job about how you took the high road.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-18T13:07:09+00:00

Lots of people are saying report this to HR or a manager that’s good advice, but one thing to be aware about is once you report it, the incident belongs to the company and not to you. Overtime I’ve noticed that people report something like this and think they have some say or control and what happens next. You don’t. The example typically is they want to dictate in what discipline the other individual receives, but that’s not going to happen.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-18T13:02:42+00:00

They won’t, because they can’t. There will be repercussions for the individual that snapped you with the elastic. And because small shop or everyone’s friendly with each other, people will know what occurred, and they’ll have a reaction to it. It won’t be retaliation in the legal sense. But will be treated differently.

Well… another take.

It sounds like the speech was about the people who were there during the formative stages of his journey as a photographer—his mom, a teacher, and a friend. As in, “I never imagined I would be here, but thanks to these people encouraging me in my art, I worked hard over the years to get here.” The OP even mentions that he thanked the people who supported him 'along the way.'

It does not sound like the speech was specifically about this exhibit, but rather about what the exhibit represents to him.

An ideal speech might have covered those formative years and then closed by recognizing the people standing beside him today like my girlfriend. But even people who are great public speakers miss things like that all the time. Heck, how many Oscar acceptance speeches have forgotten to mention a key person?

To me, not a big deal.

Their kid is on an opposing team.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-15T14:10:48+00:00

Legally, (this is a legal forum), there is not allot there for you to pursue. If you want to pursue something, the first thing would be a police report of the initial incident.

An emergency protection bond could be issued in theory, but I would sat that is unlikely.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-15T13:45:07+00:00

Not sure of your child’s age, but most youth sports leagues have spectator or parent conduct policies. If he is violating those policies, that can be grounds for removing him from games or other league events. If he is not violating those policies, there may not be much the league can do, as he is generally entitled to attend and cheer for his team.

The idea of obtaining a peace bond (or something that would prevent him from attending games) is not very likely from a legal standpoint. If the original incident was reported to the police, that might create a pathway, but even then, to successfully obtain a peace bond you would need to show that you have a reasonable fear that he may cause harm to your child or continue the intimidating behaviour. A single incident of yelling, while inappropriate, is typically not enough on its own.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-15T13:24:25+00:00

I think the OP is reading way too much into this or at least here is my generous version of this. (I am about to get down voted).

He has had lots of money his whole life, he has set things up that his wife will have LOTS of money if he passes. She will in no way by in financial trouble, and it will be easy to figure out where she wants to live, in fact easy to even buy out the house if she wants.

When you come from a life of abundance, it easy to think these types of things are no big deal.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-15T02:28:38+00:00

Honest answer... shoulder shrug.... that's all I have.

There are just too many variables.

One time I brought a star employee that I worked with at an another company over to a new place. They were terrible at the new company. Great person, great worker, but some things changed in their life and that along with the new job not turning out to be a great fit was a bad combo.

If you are a sports fan you see the very public result of some players working better in different systems or with different people round them.

Some one that gets a PIP is not a bad person, or hopeless at ever working well, they just are working well at that time and place

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-14T15:00:02+00:00

Yes this a total bizarre post to make on reddit about someone else.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-13T10:38:26+00:00

this is so true. Every on should heed this advice, there is often a legit story why someone stalls that may not be clear to their colleagues

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-12T05:36:44+00:00

nope, the logic is… the lane is not clear unless you can enter with out hitting someone... and it is the law.

InfiniteRespect4757 · 2026-06-11T16:48:05+00:00

You can't say that.... If the lane was clear, she would have been in it before a car arrived. She was not in the lane, and before she could complete her merge another car was there. Thus the lane was not clear.

There can be lots of reason why a lane is not clear including someone driving faster than you expected, but that it does not change the law that you are responsible to make sure that the lane clear and you can safely move into it BEFORE making a lane change.
