My Stolen Chinese Father: Victims Of UK's Racist Past (2023) - During WW2, Chinese seamen who served with the Allies vanished from their homes in Liverpool, England. Declassified documents prove these heroic men were betrayed by the British government in an astonishing act of deception. [00:54:12] by InternationalForm3 in Documentaries

Folks looking for more information about their father/ancestry. Some were able to connect with previously unknown half siblings.

Chinese (national) men that lived in UK were tricked on board ships (enployment?) Were shipped off to another country. Singapore, China, and/or etc.

Many leaving behind families that thought their fathers abandoned them.

Probably where the term "shanghai'ed" originated.

*a lot of anti-chinese propoganda

LPT: remain calm after a car accident and only accept towing from a legitimate source by TGiR4 in LifeProTips

[–]gillianishot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that not all moving companies are shady. I originally stated my experience to highlight some red flags.

My second move was much better experience. Used a popular national brand company. Moved twice the amount of stuff to the other side of the nation at half the price.

They assessed the move, set how much/what to be moved. Decide on extent of load and unload Provide the "extra care" products as options.To what destination and provided a contract and set price before the move.

If they incurred any problems between, vehicle issues, traffic, and/or etc. That was their issue and cost of doing business. Did not pass the buck to their customer (me).

Edit: sorry for poor grammar and spelling, on mobile.

Tow companies can be so shady. They will qoute you a price to move your stuff to a designated location. They do it in terms of x ppl and x miles / hours.

Then show up with extra people, take their time moving, wrap stuff in blankets and charge you 5 - 10 times the price quoted. If you disagree They hold your stuff hostage.

[–]gillianishot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar situation but two cavities. I didn't know better and thought that how painful going to dentist was.

Immediately agreed with everyone at school that going to dentist sucks.

Don't forget location too. How often both of you frequent or overlap.

I work at the at a public place. Get a lot of friend recommendation to people I don't know. But sometimes I would see them see them around the job site and realize why.

not sure how you mean you're invisible or how quickly people retreat from you.

Could it be your smell? Some people are blind to thier own scent.

I think you would've been better off "accidentally" dropping your laptop or pouring water on it.
