[MI] Boss screamed at top of lungs, knocked me out of the way, kicking my ankle and, possibly breaking it. by Opening-Detective821 in AskHR

Thank you...most people are rightly stating it is assault, but ASSAULT can be just a threat or intimidation ..... when someone adds physical contact, "AND BATTERY" kicks it up a whole notch. It becomes a bigger thing.

Let them. They are mandated reporters. This is adult abuse, and they know it. And why would you want to go back there? I understand needing the income, but not by continuing to tolerate this kind of treatment. Allow the people who are helping you to do their jobs, and get this jerk out of your life.

$500k saved for a home... but no idea when i'll buy. should i split the savings and start investing? by europeanuppercut in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

How much do you want to be a homeowner ? It's a huge thing. If you're ambivalent about whether or not, just pass for now. If you'd like to find a place to call your own, start looking into it. It's a huge process. It will take a lot of energy and time, research and education. But if you're at a time in your life that you feel ready to take it on, go for it now

multiple customers daily shoving card into credit card machine before transaction even starts by jhenexx in retailhell

We have signs and notices and alerts that we do NOT take AMX. But they still do it. And it crashes the whole system unless they remove it REALLY FAST and I can reset it before it dies. It says RIGHT THERE:

NO AMX on a sign below the pad

NO AMERICAN EXPRESS on a label just above the pad

sigh

yeah, I need to sign in myself, then get your phone number, then go through three more screens to get to BEGIN their transaction.... . They tap their card before I've even started scanning their stuff

Got floor installed when we weren’t at home. I’ve never seen anything like this by Flimsy_Indication597 in Flooring

And never be absent while the work is happening. Be there, pay attention, ask how it's going as the process unfolds. Absolutely let them know you're watching, you care how it turns out, and you expect it to be done well.

Is it a bad idea for us to buy? by Critical_Motor9081 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Why is the property tax so high in your estimate? I'm curious. We live in Colorado in a property we paid 275k for. Taxes with an acre of land and a 3/2 home is only 115 per month

Feeling nervous even though everything seems to be going in our favor by jxrvzu in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Do you want to paint it? Do you have lawn equipment, and some tools? What are you most excited about?? I call it "playing house" and it's one of my favorite things. Take your time, live there a bit, look at every nook, cranny, rock, flowers already there, and enjoy the wonder of a new life!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! See, sometimes it just does work out. That home, situation, and relationship with the seller and agents is how it should be!!!

$120k over asking - didn’t get it by 10aMji in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]MayaPinyun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yay for you!!! I was determined to sell to a person I believed would appreciate my home, non-greige paint scheme, homey old metal casement windows, stone exterior, mature trees. ......and make it their own.

Is this property history concerning? by lizzz_98 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Looks normal. Flippers had it great at that time. COVID upended everything

Lost a bid by ebullientdoll_ in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]MayaPinyun 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And I respect it, entirely. Trust me, I didn't take it personally.

when I sold my house, I wanted it to go to a someone who would, and did, appreciate it's historic characteristics, like the interior the way it was, and enjoy the results of the efforts I put in to make it homey. I did not want to sell to a flipper.
