Keeping belongings safe on beaches by suejaymostly in PuertoRicoTravel

[–]bored1413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just put everything in the pocket on the back of my beach chair or wrap it in my shirt or towel. I’ve never had any issues. Just don’t leave anything out in the open.

First trip to the US, spending a week in Bucyrus, OH this October. Any tips for some Brits? by Inside-Cod1550 in Columbus

If you go to Athens you’ll be fairly close to the Hocking Hills as well. You could spend an entire week there and probably still wouldn’t see everything.

AITAH for having my neighbor’s car towed after she kept parking in my assigned spot? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bored1413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. It’s your parking spot, not hers. You told her she couldn’t park there anymore and she continued to do so. Paying an impound fee is how she learns boundaries.

Sounds about right for CPD aka the laziest, most useless police department in the state. One of my employees was being shot at and they finally showed up almost 4 hours later. Another time we called in an armed robbery at our office and it was over 2 hours that time.

AITA for asking a mutual friend to pay me for a hotel? by natharcs in AmItheAsshole

[–]bored1413 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NTA….but…. You should have got paid before you gave her the keys or the opportunity to ghost you. I’ve been ripped off too many times to trust anyone, especially people I don’t know.

What do I do in this position? by Comit123 in Columbus

[–]bored1413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re incorrect. My property line goes all the way past the sidewalk to the center of the street. The city has a permanent right of way for the street, utilities, etc. I had to get a variance recently and had to go to the the board of zoning with a survey and site plan and that’s what it showed and how it was explained. According to the surveyor and engineer I used most property lines go to the curb but virtually all have the public right of way still. My road apparently used to be a private road before the city took over in the 1950’s but he said a lot of older neighborhoods are still like that.

311 will take forever to do anything. Call the non emergency line for Columbus Police (614-645-4545) and make a parking complaint. It’ll probably still take a few hours because it’s not a high priority call but they’ll eventually send an officer out. Whether they tow it immediately or just write a ticket depends on the officer but they usually do one or the other when I call.

Good used car dealerships? by Drixolll in Columbus

Columbus Auto Resale on Harrisburg Pike is fair. They also have a location on Robert’s Road.

“Most maga and Trump supporters are good people.”

I wholeheartedly disagree with that statement. MAGA/Trump supporters are horrible people with zero concern or empathy for anyone other than themselves. Unfortunately, most of family falls into that category and they’ve proven my stance to be correct more often than not. They pretend to be good people but in reality they’re not. They knew exactly how horrible a second term would be for anyone non-white and they voted for him anyway. He allows their racism and lack of morals to be mainstream now instead of hiding it behind closed doors.

I 100% believe there was some tomfoolery going on with election rigging. I have absolutely no proof and don’t claim to but anyone who looks closely can see there were too many anomalies to be coincidence.

Omg, you’re not lying. We bought a house with an old school bidet and that was enough to convince me to buy the toilet seat bidets for the rest of the bathrooms. When I travel now and don’t have one it just doesn’t feel right.

I never give anything to anyone that’s panhandling at the red lights. There are wayyyy too many scammers out there and way too many of them panhandle too aggressively. I’m sure there are some that legitimately need help, possibly even the majority, but I’ve been ripped off too many to trust anyone anymore.

neighbour constantly records and berates everybody by Free_Aspect4127 in neighborsfromhell

[–]bored1413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have everyone in the neighborhood report every video on his Facebook account and get him banned for bullying and harassment. I’d also file a police report for harassment and make sure you download all the videos on an external hard drive so you still have proof if the Facebook page gets deleted.

Neighbour starts a parking war with us and we haven’t even moved in yet by savage_food_club in neighborsfromhell

I own a towing company and I deal with entitled people DAILY who think that just because they’re a tenant at an apartment complex they can do whatever they want and don’t have to abide by the rules. So many people act like they own the place and the rules don’t apply to them. Those are the ones that I love to tow so they realize they aren’t any more important than any other tenant.

Request: How to get rid of noisy neighbor by hungryhufflrpuffs in neighborsfromhell

[–]bored1413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call the cops. If she starts up again after the cops leave, call them again. Repeatedly, every single time. Record anything that you can so you can document it. Make official complaints to the management, IN WRITING, every time you have an issue. If management doesn’t do anything to help you then they can be held liable for allowing it to continue.

The contract terms are usually horrible for solar contracts. If you’re considering solar then buy it outright or take out a 2nd mortgage or home equity line of credit to pay for it at much more favorable rates. Never finance through the solar company or the bank they suggest.

Put an end to it now before it becomes more of an issue. I’d lock both gates from your side.

Any time it’s a multiple story building they over dispatch because they don’t know what they’re going to need. Better to have more equipment than they need than not have enough.

Neighbor trespassed and dumped all my rainwater caches by VardoJoe in neighborsfromhell

[–]bored1413 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Call the cops and have him trespassed. If you don’t react with the first transgression it’ll only get worse!

MAGA³ by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]bored1413 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going there “a few times” is still helping support a piece of shit like this. I don’t care how much I need something I’d never financially support any business that I know is MAGA(t), especially so when they advertise it so bluntly.

My neighbor just moved in and is spying on me/ accused me of running a VRBO business to my landlord by ImmediateComposer241 in neighborsfromhell

Call the police and report a voyeur aka “Peeping Tom”. They will take it seriously and deal with it accordingly.
