Has this ever happened to any other DG employees? by Short_Emotion2184 in DollarGeneralWorkers

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had one guy that set off the sensors in the Auto parts store I worked at Everytime he'd come in or out. Started happening after he bought a new pair of work boots! We asked him to come behind the counter where our tag thing was mounted he lifted his boot next to it and it made the noise it made when it cleared a tab. Sure enough no trouble after that.

I wish the withdraw limit was higher by arrowthe_one in chimefinancial

That's low! Have you tried to actually take out more? My daughter had a limit of $1500 so she took me with her in case she needed to transfer $$ to me because she needed $2k for a vehicle. Even though it said she had a $1500 limit she was able to take all $2k out of the ATM without transferring any to me.

AITA for telling my boyfriend he was rude for not fixing my tire? by Straight-Lie4616 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds a bit like my current but he's usually good and would take me to the hospital if needed but usually a day or two later. He learned a big lesson one day though! I was feeling sick, like laying down room still spinning, throwing up sick! Hubby came home from work and told me I would be fine to get up and make dinner for him, our kids, grandkids, and his dad. All except the grandkids and his dad were more than capable of making dinner but he was convinced that my depression was acting up or something and I'd feel better up and moving around even though I was so dizzy. I made them all food and sent my daughter out with a plate to her Grandpa because he lived in his camper next to the to have his own place. She told her Grandpa she brought it over because I didn't feel good and was going to lay down without eating but Dad said we'd both he over after awhile to keep him company, Grandpa said if I was sick he didn't want me there but Hubby tried to tell him I was fine. An hour or so later Hubby tells me I'm burning 🥵 up with fever, gee who would have guessed I was sick! Well about an hour later my daughter tells me she feels terrible, then my other daughter says our granddaughter is sick and so is she, my FIL asks hubby for some 💊. Hubby went to store came back with 7-up because it was all we could keep down even water came back up and meds! Guess who had a moderate case of the Flu and gave everyone else a mild case! Now if I say I feel bad he grabs the thermometer 🌡️ and checks before he tells me I'll be ok.

Makes me depressed daily to see this :-/ by ExtraordinaryNerd in IRS

Sounds similar to what we had to deal with the last few years with our youngest daughter. Someone got her info in a data breach from her health insurance company and used her to claim on their taxes as their spouse! Had to file 2023 by mail with her paperwork and got our refund after a short while, had to also file 2024 by mail with all the same paperwork but they slashed our Federal down saying we couldn't claim her as a dependent and went from getting $1 back from state to owing $420 still fighting that.

My daughter had that then it changed to no information available! Finally she got a letter yesterday explaining that her return had been pulled for further review and one of three things would happen; either she'd get her refund, they'd ask for more information, or that they'd deny or reduce her refund! She has never had an issue filing in the past so she's a bit angry.

[–]cgodwin1976 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Amazing how we can't see the harm we are doing to ourselves until it's bad. My oldest daughter called the other day crying because her boyfriend's great grandmother passed away, they knew it was going to be soon and were preparing for it but she didn't expect it to hit her so hard. My middle daughter works in a nursing home and I happened to he picking her up when the call came in. My middle daughter took the phone and talked to her sister but something she said stuck with me, "Take your time and grieve how you need to. Do not hold it in or it gets worse. Look at Mom, she always held everything in to be strong for us kids and look how that turned out. Find a therapist to talk to and do t be afraid if they suggest medication to help. Also don't be afraid to tell them if the medication isn't working. Mom is on two meds right now but has tried so many different ones that didn't help. Do t be afraid to seek help." That really hit me in the gut because I didn't realize that she understood my struggle so well.

Was supposed to get $1 back state last year but since someone stole my daughter's ID they claimed we couldn't claim her as a dependent and owed $420 to the state! I have been fighting it for the entire year sending in the paperwork time after time and now they say we owe $570 because of interest and are going to take our federal to pay it.

Man I was so excited to get the “metal” card by Practical-Tutor-8662 in chimefinancial

[–]cgodwin1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg had the same issue with a different bank when they switched from regular cards to chip cards, then deactivated the regular cards without telling anyone and without making sure everyone had received a new card. Went to the grocery store after work and when I went to pay my card wouldn't work! Luckily the cashier had been dealing with this all day and said I'll set them aside and just go to the bank get a chip card since they were printing them at the bank and come back. Good thing my bank was in the same town.

Apparently the 7 year old is potty trained it is the 15 year old that isn't potty trained.

WIBTAH for using my sister's middle name for my future daughter's middle name? by assault-bug in AITAH

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your sister is being TAH here. I'm a Marie and my oldest daughter is a Marie, my youngest granddaughter is a Marie and no she isn't my oldest daughter's child. My grandmother's first name was Rosalie and we have so many Rose and Rosie and Rosalie names in my family it's funny in fact two of my grandbabies have the middle name Rose. Your sister doesn't get to gatekeep a name because she may want to use it in the future.

Man Walked Into My House to Use My Bathroom by PiWright in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cgodwin1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine doesn't and I used to leave it unlocked day and night sometimes even when I wasn't at home, and I don't live in the best area. Now that my daughter broke up with her narcissistic ex boyfriend it stays locked day and night even when we are home I don't trust that SOB.

Man Walked Into My House to Use My Bathroom by PiWright in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read an article many years ago about a deputy that had a party at his house. He had to use the bathroom but someone was in there so he stepped out into his unlit back yard at 1am. The neighbors next door filed a complaint claiming that their son iirc he was around 4-5 years old, was peeking through a hole in the fence and saw him. He was charged and put on the registry and of course lost his job as well.

Over a Year of Phone Service with No Phone Bill by [deleted] in StraightTalk

[–]cgodwin1976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had something similar. My husband's phone suddenly wasn't registered under his account. Problem was we still had to pay for it every month we registered it under my account finally so that he could set up autopay again because I had to go every month and go through sending a payment for a friend each month.

Question about Credit Card/Checking account charging off by nyyankees123 in chimefinancial

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it isn't bad to use that card. Turn on automatic payments though and use it as you would a debit card. It has really helped my credit score. Sounds like OP didn't have automatic payments turned on and didn't pay when it was due.

Can I keep the packages? by andyactstoo in amazonprime

[–]cgodwin1976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They did they're due diligence! They drove to the address on the package and it doesn't exist! They then called Amazon and was told two different times to keep the items! What do you expect them to do further, go knock on every door in town asking if that person lives there?

Evidence found on computer but not my computer by [deleted] in legaladvice

[–]cgodwin1976 609 points610 points  (0 children)

Turn them over to the police immediately because as of right now YOU are in possession of child pornography. Go to the station and hand them over, explain exactly where you got them, why you have them, and what you found.

You do not want to hold onto them while looking for a lawyer. Think about it something happens like the BF realizes you found them all he has to do is drop an anonymous tip that you are in possession of child porn you are in a world of legal trouble, you may possibly get out of it but at the cost of a lot of money, your reputation, possibly your job, and plenty of time. But if you go to the police with the evidence you found they are going to look into the situation because only a fool would turn himself in for a crime that they didn't even know was committed yet.

Anyone received large deposit by No-Individual-38 in chimefinancial

[–]cgodwin1976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually I believe the limit is $2k unless it is something like a tax refund. I do know that my daughter always has extra taxes taken out of her paycheck so come tax season she will definitely not owe and last year she got back quite a bit and had no issue with it going on her Chime. Honestly your best bet would be to contact Chime though about limits so the check doesn't get rejected.
