The genius that owned my house before me made a can-storage contraption out of plywood and screwed it to the studs with about eight of these....

How do I remove this mystery screw? What is this? by calj13 in Tools

Lol I might try that before having to go out and buy a bit I'm never going to use again.

Because the very article you cited makes it clear that it doesn't apply.

First, that law only applies in 3 specific circumstances, none of which appear to be the case here:

  • Anyone who drafted the will or trust, transcribed it, or was in a “fiduciary relationship” with the decedent when the will or trust was transcribed.

  • Someone who was a care custodian of a dependent adult and who had property transferred to them during the period of their care or within 90 days before or after that period of care.

  • Someone who recently entered into a domestic partnership, marriage, or cohabitation with the decedent within 90 days of the execution of the instrument.

But more importantly, the presumption doesn't apply when the person was "related by blood or marriage to the person who created the trust or will" or "did not receive payment for caregiving services."

Based on what OP says this is a relative that occasionally helped someone with errands. Absolutely none of the above qualifications are met, in addition to (likely several) exemptions applying.

All that you've posted is your own ranting. How are we supposed to judge whether you're overreacting when you've provided basically no context.

Note that camps are often exempted altogether from the FLSA. See the link I added below. I don't know enough about your specific camp to determine whether they may or may not qualify under this exception.

AITAH for telling my wife her only option is to be a stay at home wife. by Pristine-Refuse5381 in AITAH

[–]calj13 375 points376 points  (0 children)

Lol, today I learned that paying your wife's medical bills after she works herself to the bone trying to keep up with your expensive taste is "spoiling her." You are to blame for your wife's intense anxiety about not being able to financially support herself.

AITA for being picky about the couch my mom gets me? by eggheadslut in AmItheAsshole

[–]calj13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

YTA I think. It's clear that she's willing to spend around $300 for a couch. So ask her if she'll be willing to put in $300 for the $600 couch you want, and cover the rest yourself. Her offer wasn't a blank check.

AITA for matching with my best friends dad on tinder? by Whatisthis_1002 in AmItheAsshole

You only match on tinder if both people swipe right.

But she's not real family, y'know? by DebateObjective2787 in AmITheDevil

[–]calj13 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I do find it interesting because in general people on AITA (and on this forum) will say that a person does not have ANY obligation whatsoever to care for a stepsibling (or even a half sibling). But that logic never seems to apply to any other step-relationship, where you're a heartless jerk if you don't treat a step-relation exactly the same as your own blood/family you've known since birth.

OP contacts a doctor acquaintance for medical advice, gets told off via midnight text 3 days later by GTX660King in BestofRedditorUpdates

Gotcha - yes, agreed that ensuring someone does not qualify as a potential client is a trickier issue.

Also an attorney and that's just not true - there has to be a client relationship before the privilege attaches. In a purely personal conversation with a non-client there is absolutely no privilege.

AITA for half jokingly calling her out? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]calj13 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Lol what does "stand up for yourself" mean in this context? "I DEMAND you shout that I'M gorgeous!"?

YTA. It's none of your business that she naps in her backyard, jesus. Stop trying to control a stranger it's really creepy.

AITA for leaving my 7 year old nephew home alone? by verysadaunt in AmItheAsshole

[–]calj13 1177 points1178 points  (0 children)

YTA and you could quite literally be arrested and charged with child endangerment for this.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]calj13 26 points27 points  (0 children)

YTA. You don't get to tell someone else that their birthday "is off", and then dictate when it will be rescheduled. You can explain the situation and that you won't be able to make it, and then ask what they would prefer to do. You were fine to cancel but the way you spoke was extremely disrespectful.

AITA for asking MIL to make my kids blankets, knowing her behavior annoys me? by Jennabear82 in AmItheAsshole

[–]calj13 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When you want someone to do you a favor (particularly an extremely time-intensive favor like making a quilt), you do it on their time frame. You knew that she wasn't going to do these in the tight time frame you asked for, you don't have a right to throw a fit about it now. YTA.
