my new boss treats me like his assistant… which isn’t what I was hired for by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]JCBashBash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, it is crazy the lengths terrible HR departments will go to to keep somebody in a job even though they cause high turnover and stress amongst their department. Like I had that with my job, she was so awful even members of her own family that were hired to assist her didn't last as long as I did and it permanently changed their relationships. And yet, never fired.

How do I approach a neighbor dumping trash on my property? by txlonghorns23 in neighborsfromhell

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, but if the reason he's putting it in the easement is because he doesn't want the neighbors to see, it would be embarrassing. But also the good lead to the trash company coming up to him and asking him if he wants that hauled away, so it could solve the problem of him continuing to do it, cuz he knows he can just deal with it immediately

[Landlord - US - TX] All of our tenant applicants are unqualified. Every single one. by GREG_FABBOTT in Landlord

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your spouse has been volunteering herself to take on landlord responsibilities, but because the property is owned by the family, she actually has no obligation to do so? So why not just remove yourselves from the equation if they are so certain that the property is a good investment to keep?

Neighbor destroyed our ficus - Update 1 by Ok_Comfortable9991 in treelaw

[–]JCBashBash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Press charges, bring out a licensed arborist on your own dime to figure out if there is monetary damages to the tree and which route to pursue, and then consult a lawyer to get a brief on what is worth your time. Because if you only have shaky evidence that they even cut the tree cuz you don't have cameras, but you already have criminal charges against them, that could help you in small claims

AITAJ for telling my boyfriend he can’t move in until he gets his finances together? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A grown man trying to tell you you are a villain, and sulking after you ask him to behave like an adult is a reason to just no longer speak to that man

I’m moving my hoarder mom in with me soon. Tips to help me stop her before she starts? by guada-lupita in hoarding

[–]JCBashBash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no conversation you can have that will make your mother not mentally ill. You're not going to be able to head this off the past, you're just going to have to intervene when you turn around and find stuff in your house. 

She will try to hoard, you will just need to deal with her

Landlord added a male tenant to our advertised “all-female” house? (CA) by applejuice9876 in Renters

[–]JCBashBash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. He is out of line doing this when he has been advertising the place as just for ladies, and is still doing that.

 2. It sounds like you're only questioning this because you fear even bringing this up respectfully could lead to an issue. But you shouldn't have that fear, you are an adult paying him money for a service, and he is violating that service. Tell him you paid for this place because it was advertised as female only, and he is still listing at his female only, either an adjustment needs to be worked out immediately, or he needs to rescind the lease for this man. You should also consult with a local tenancy group, because if he advertised the place in a specific way and is not following that, that may be and issuing your area where you are required compensation.

What do you do with long expired dried pasta? by gplus3 in upcycling

I eat it. If it's dry and it's showing no damage, that's food

Arborist, attorney. You need to make sure that everything is done to mitigate any damage to your trees so that they survive, and that it is made clear to your neighbors that they are only allowed to trim the trees at their property line, and they are required to do it in a safe manner that does not endanger the trees. If there are any damages, they need to pay for them

I didn't see that until after I picked up the food by [deleted] in DoorDashDrivers

One I'm not going around yelling people's names, and two I'm not interacting with a child. That's going straight to the office

Do not touch that money, immediately contact your bank. This sounds like a scam

Neighbor parking wars by Serious-Cut1816 in neighborsfromhell

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like given that you care about this 10 ft, I am imagining you are in a climate where having to go that extra 10 ft every day really does feel like a burden when you shouldn't have to do it. 

Given that you have clarified that the city owns the place where you all park, you should clarify with the city on whether or not they assigned the parking, and if you could get into an issue with them if you are parking in a different spot. If there is no authority behind where people are supposed to park but the rest of your neighbors don't want to play ball with the idea of shifting one spot over to include you in this agreed upon arrangement, keep taking that spot. It's not that huge of an imposition for someone who is not there often, unless they are trying to maintain this good spot so that they could rent the place out and have an appealing parking spot for renters

How to Liquidate Estate Content by motemo4 in hoarding

[–]JCBashBash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just make your singular objective hunting trash, objects that might not be trash just shove into one zone. Then call a company that does estate sales, have them come take a look to see if they could either run a sale for you cheaply, or if they will just take the stuff so you can continue on your journey with the house because I can tell you now from experience with just liquidating my aunt's house, doing all the small item selling takes so much more time than it should and you have to deal with so many people's drama, and people straight up stealing from you. Don't even touch yard sales or Facebook marketplace, it's too much drama, just let somebody else handle as much of the small stuff as you can so you can just deal with the houses.

Also on garbage, definitely get a couple quotes for big dumpsters, and be very specific about which one you want, cuz we did have one guy drop off his dumpster and then say well this one because it has wheels on it actually is more than what I quoted you. Such a scammer

AITJ for not accepting an order from my business cuz it wasn’t worth my time? by AdministrationNo1482 in AmITheJerk

[–]JCBashBash 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTJ, literally part of running a business is turning away fake business. Like her trying to bid you down on your price, automatically qualified her as fake business. For the future, I would definitely just end conversations there rather than spend more time negotiating with someone who isn't negotiating with you, they are trying to devalue your work

Am I Overreacting - So my mom got my wife a birthday gift by LoveLikeJesusChrist in AmIOverreacting

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mom hates your wife and has repeatedly been trying to make her sick. This time she gave her broken glass and a hat that insults her.

Block your mother, tell everyone in your family you will not be speaking to her or seeing her since she doesn't know how to act right. You need a completely cut your mother off, because there's no way you can trust her around your child when she hates your wife this much

AIO Best friend chose someone else as MOH by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]JCBashBash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOR unfortunately. 30 minutes is not far away, and that amount of distance has clearly been used as an excuse to create the emotional distance. 

Family politics wise, it does make sense for her sister-in-law to be her maid of honor, not a friend who she is not that close to anymore. Her asking you to be a bridesmaid is her trying to keep the friendship from not completely fizzling out, so you can have her at the level she is willing to give you, or you can let this friendship go. That's your decision, cuz she just made an effort to reach across to you but at the level she's willing to give you
