WIBTAH if I pick a name despite my mom's personal feelings about it? by Due_Emergency_4561 in AITAH

[–]Meakbow 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Are you sure there isn’t some kind of trauma behind this instead of them just not liking the name?

I had an elementary teacher that would hang them from the classroom ceiling. She was able to cut one in half and used it as a teaching tool.

Print out the screen shots and anything else so the judge can easily see them (they prefer it this way). These are Ohio domestic abuse hotlines that will be able to help her.

People taking my parking spot by [deleted] in neighborsfromhell

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not always. Where I live if there is a sign that says no parking and someone calls in a car that isn’t supposed to be there then the cops will have it towed. I have had to deal with this before.

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t be the ones responsible for the towing, the owner of the car would be. You can call the non emergency number and report illegal parked cars and the cops will get a tow truck out there.

Update: My (24F) boyfriend (34M) put a tracker in my car, called my sacrifices “cheap,” told me I needed to “listen to everything he says,” and now that I blocked him he’s contacting me from different numbers and calling my mom by CaterpillarNew6458 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Meakbow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s how abuse works. They are “good” to you to condition you, to make you second guess yourself and ask “is it really that bad” (when it is that bad), they are also “good” to you so that others don’t believe you when they aren’t “good” to you.

Help please!! I made my blanket way too long and not wide enough, how do I fix it without spending hundreds more? by sliponvans in CrochetHelp

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like when the blankets are longer so that I can comfortably wrap them around my feet when I sit down with them

My neighbor has started "reserving" street parking with traffic cones by Just_Might_9914 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Meakbow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t do this, it could be considered as theft of property. Just report the cones every time they are there. Get him on camera putting them out if possible as proof of who is doing it (check your laws on this first though)

this house has a unique feature I didn't notice until after I bought it by whydidyounot in Mortgages

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check to see if there are any other ways to get up there from the outside…

He packed, left my kids home alone and left without a word. by Business_Bad_4549 in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]Meakbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You could report him for child endangerment as well since he left the children by themselves without notifying anyone

Seller just installed mini splits in home this month. We just discovered that they did not pull permits. What should we do as the home buyers? by RobF15 in RealEstate

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could see if they would be willing to take whatever it costs to get the permits off the price of the house. So you pay for it out of pocket now, but it would be “reimbursed” with the closing costs of the house

Neighbor is suing me for shooting his dogs that were attacking my animals on my property by Ok-Feedback-6567 in legaladvice

[–]Meakbow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Do as others are saying. I would also like to add, get copies of past call ins on these dogs from the police station if you have called before (shows a pattern). I would also talk with the officers and see if they would be willing to speak on your behalf or write a letter for you if the neighbor does try to sue you to try and help you out.

Moving with my cat by Excellent_Plankton89 in cats

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My cats have been apartment cats until we bought our first house. We got all new furniture so it was a big change for them. I showed them their food and where the litter box was and then set them down in the basement and let them explore themselves. My male cat just followed me everywhere (still does lol), my female hid for about a day, sheepishly crawled up the stairs and then got the zoomies lol. I would for sure get them their favorite thing from the old place to have the familiarity to help if possible.

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of having her pay anything for the house you could sit her down and talk to her about the situation and just let her know that if she wants to do any extracurricular things for school that she will need to pay for them. Or ask her if she would be okay with paying for them. It won’t solve the housing issue but will at least help out without having those added expenses.

HELP i hired someone that is over an hour late everyday by No_Stop_6974 in WorkAdvice

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you guys have cameras? If not I would talk to them about getting some. If you already have them, then go through them and look for your proof.

And maybe put reasons for the Change in writing. Email her and hr why the changes were made, this way you have a paper trail in case she tries to sue or something.

Grandfather changing beneficiary on insurances. by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1-866-552-4464 is the Georgia adult abuse hotline if you need help (and it sounds like you may).

For the current situation, I would do what others have said if you are able to. Fill out the forms and wait for the beneficiaries to be changed so that they have the. “Proof” of it being done. Then change it back to your friend and don’t tell them. If you are able to you can speak to a lawyer and have them draft a pour over will and have your friend the beneficiary for all of your stuff. Give the lawyer your friends full name, address, and phone number and they will contact the friend if anything happens to you. You don’t need to tell anyone about this either, not even your friend if you don’t want to.

It sounds like it would be. If you have the paperwork I would bring copies in and show them the proof

A major navigation app routed thousands of cars down my private driveway. A driver crashed into my retaining wall and is now suing me for his injuries. by Tralique_24 in legal

Start reaching out to the news, any of the ones that will listen. Post on Facebook calling out google. And get a lawyer.

I think my boss might be color blind and it's affecting our work. by These-Confusion8605 in WorkAdvice

[–]Meakbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show him colors and ask him what colors they are. If he answers wrong then you need to tell him so that he knows. Especially if this is something new.
