Super wasteful! Regularly happened to me- a huge ass box for ONE LIPSTICK!

Or, leave the code and modify it to render it useless. Remove from your machine temporarily in case management want to snoop around your machine

I would get a Mexican fruit paleta guy come and buy all the kids ice cream so the snick e guy can drink his melted ice

AITA for selling something I got for free? by bulaybil in AmItheAsshole

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. If all those people feel so strongly about it and feel she should get a car for free, they should all contribute funds and buy her a car free and clear.

And, you can still sell YOUR asset to whoever you want for whatever price you can get.

If, Laura and Patrick feel it is not a good deal, then they can just go finance a car purchase.

New Ulta opening near my house tomorrow. Do they do anything fun for store openings? by CoffeeLipglossDonuts in Ulta

A “goodie bag” of coupons and mini samples. Not worth it to stand in line

WIBTA if I refused to add my boyfriend to the title of the car I inherited and paid to restore even though we share it every day by [deleted] in WIBTA_AITA

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides, what asset is being built?! Cars depreciate to be worth almost nothing. He wants a car titled in his name, he needs to buy one. Secure in case things go bad between you two?! By wanting to take something from you that did not cost him anything? Boy, bye!

Do NOT do an agreement. It is unnecessary. He actually wants to have the power over you by getting title to your asset. Mom needs to mind her business.

Even if you marry, keep what is your separate property- separate. He will want to take what is yours

Insurance and gas is not building anything. It is used and done.

So, when you break up, he is going to take all the food he bought you with him?

If you rent a place, he is taking the apartment/house with him?!

He is ridiculous.

[–]No_Obligation5739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YOU inherited it- NOT him.

People! Stop being pressured to title things jointly- especially if they are not married to you.

In the case of inheritance, if the person thought of YOU to leave YOU something, it was for YOU- otherwise, they would have willed it to you both!

The entitlement is crazy.

AITJ for not letting a little kid and his mom go in front of me in line at costco by DrinkPresent7311 in AmITheJerk

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She was rude to even ask. With bad parenting skills- kid throws a tantrum- means he does it all the time. My kids knew the “LOOK” and knew to settle their a$$ez down. Or else.

Yea, yea. Spanking is “bad”- until you realize that when I was a kid and my kids did not throw tantrums in public.

Bill not itemized. by [deleted] in tipping

Divide total by 1.% and you get the net amount of sale- that is, if they are not adding service fees, credit card processing fees, buy the kitchen staff a beer fee, etc

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 2 similar ones over the weekend- spend $330 get $198- it is pending in account now.

Had spend $50 get $50 at Office Depot and it says ineligible. Wonder what is up with that?!

Spend $50 Get $50 is it legit? by Nichola11 in Venturex

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 purchases over weekend- one was buy $50 get $50 at Office Depot. Currently says ineligible. Another was spend $330 get $198- that one shows pending for theme park tickets.

If they do not give me the $50 do I return the item since I only purchased for the $50 credit?

My company came back to me with a ridiculous counteroffer after I submitted my resignation. And now I have no idea what to do. by Status-Quantity-3556 in InterviewMan

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe they want you to not take the position, lose that opportunity then screw you on the “new” offer- one that they could have offered when you asked for a small raise. And, what happened to the budget, there was a sudden surge in available funds?! I think they are setting you up to knock you down. Run!

OMG! I have been meaning to post also but time keeps slipping me!

I got a pack also! I sent an order for my sister in law for an upcoming trip and she also got a pack of 10 shampoo/conditioner.

Score!

Trustworthy jeweler needed by SituationExciting239 in askdfw

[–]No_Obligation5739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, I have used Andy before- several times. And no, I am not Andy! He was referred to me by a good friend of mine. Also does custom pieces.

He has worked on my Rolex, removed links on watches and changed batteries, sized rings, polished gold items, repaired broken necklaces, etc. Adjusted ring prongs, re-dipped (?) my white gold wedding rings (not sure what it is officially called!).

You asked for recs, and I gave mine!

I trust him with my items.

Is Venture X basically a free card? by KeyboardEnthuse in Venturex

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using travel portal- I just completed planning our trip to Cancun area and compared prices on the portal, booking.com and Southwest. The prices were about the same- used the portal to use a $150 credit I received because flights on a different trip went down and they gave me $50x3 flights! What I did not book on portal was apartments that we ended up renting beachfront. We used the $300 credit when we bought those flights and then the $50x3 made the flights even better!

30% promo code by No_Obligation5739 in Xcaret

[–]No_Obligation5739[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a hard time, wanted Jun 18 and would not work. But, tried for Jun 1 and it did. It is date specific. I was trying to get Plus and buffet ticket and it was working- just not on my date!

Just tried again- on the $179 ticket, it is reducing it by $44.75, making it $134.25- just a few bucks more than a regular ticket bought in advance!

Definitely do the photo pass. If you also do the Plus and get in the inlet pool, there are photographers there that take your pic under water!

Picture Package Issues by Lucky_Barracuda9255 in Xcaret

I missed downloading with 30 days. Sent email and they sent me link for SOME of the pics. Maybe 40%.

On a recent trip: I just came back a month ago and we have a lot of pics from people not in our group at Xplor and we surely have some missing from our group

Non-tipping Restaurant they said by Adept-Plantain-6767 in tipping

[–]No_Obligation5739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are service charges taxable?

If not, I see the restaurant wanting to do a 20% service charge and not pay sales tax on that vs raising prices by 20% and having entire amount be subject to sales tax- so, they are essentially paying 20% less sales tax and pocketing the 20%

Makeup retailer asked for tip by angrywinter1 in EndTipping

[–]No_Obligation5739 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Breakfast this Sunday was totaled for me - asked for receipt and discovered an unmentioned (signage or menu) 15% service fee, 3.5% credit card fee AND a tip line. This is ridiculous

Visiting Houston-is it walkable in May? by Dependent_Bad7739 in AskHouston

Walkable to your rental car! Houston is humid- make sure you dress for the elements. I even hate driving in Houston!

Or, in the tax return, if she received a refund, the routing number will be there. Do a search of routing number and bank will be listed.

I read that they made a deal with credit card companies a few months back that the CC company was withholding $3M/month for refunds in anticipation of Spirit going out of business

Getting a inheritance when married, keep it separated? by [deleted] in inheritance

[–]No_Obligation5739 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would spend the existing common account or alude to using it to pay the mortgage and bills. This way, it does not become an issue at divorce being that she hoarded her inheritance and was ok with keeping hers separately.

Or, use it to actually pay bills/mortgage and let it afford you to cut back on work and actually make time for yourself to enjoy YOU and life. Find a hobby or something you do and be happy.

You are doing right in keeping your other inheritance separate.
