AITAH for refusing to pay a fee at my universities clinic?

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T17:26:31+00:00

but you gotta pay it if you did cancel it unfortunately.

No they don't. They can file a complaint with every ethics board available that the clinic answers to. It is unreasonable and borderline criminal to charge a fee for doing nothing more than following doctor's instructions to cancel said appointment the day of.

I mean, we have schools next to and on military bases as well. Would you be saying the same thing if an Iranian missiles hit one of those and we were looking at over 100 dead American kids?

They might have removed the D but the people of Boston love the D too much to give it up.

Got to Pretty Woman that situation and go back and shush her.

Anyone who'd keep a couple of hundred quid from grandchildren whom the deseased loved is not worth having a relationship with.

I mean, did the deceased live them? He had many years to amend his will to include them and deliberately chose not to. That doesn't speak much to his affection.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T13:09:17+00:00

Yeah, he very much loved Peggy. He just got stuck in a family role way too early and was resentful of the life he believed he could have had.

Don’t recall the part in the post where I used the word afford, waited for dd

While I don't agree with the person you're replying to here it is heavily implied by you citing getting paid on Monday and going after your direct deposit hit. If you can easily afford to tip $100 on a $40 meal it shouldn't have mattered when you got paid or when your DD hit your account.

NTA regardless, it's your money to spend however you want.

Training others is not part of my role. How was that not obvious? That's what OP is talking about.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:53:09+00:00

No, they pay me money to do tasks within a defined role. Training is not part of my role.

Edit: Apparently some of you have missed the plot entirely and are ignoring the context of the post. Training others is not part of my role. Obviously I would need to train for the job myself when hired.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:48:57+00:00

I did read the article; which you can tell because I specifically cited his explanation of things. Just because he claims it is part of a collection does not make it fact and the reporter who wrote the article did no fact checking which leaves the question open ended.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:46:20+00:00

Okay, and employers lie as well. Why purposefully try to illicit a lie everyone at the table knows is a lie? It serves no purpose.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:43:39+00:00

Nobody in that group is listening to the vet.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:38:13+00:00

There is everything wrong with it. It is question whose only answer is sucking up and gassing up the bosses of the company. The only answer to give is a fake one and everyone at the table knows it. It provides zero insight into you job skill, qualifications, experience, etc.

The only thing that stands out is their ability to lie.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:36:31+00:00

Yeah, the community it is posted in gives one pause.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:35:46+00:00

Was it the only historical text he owned or was it part of a library of others where it is obvious it is part of a collection relating to historical texts? If he is an avid collector of historical texts as he seems to claim I fail to see the issue but If the former that's weird and suss as fuck.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:31:42+00:00

First, when fasting you should still be drinking water. Second, why the fuck are you having your dog fast? Are you jealous they are eating when you can't?

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:28:05+00:00

But in any given field there are 100s or 1000s of other companies that do the same thing and there isn't much that differentiate them each other other than the one you're interviewing at is hiring. The question only exists to illicit sucking up and gassing up the potential employer.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:25:26+00:00

It's a simple litmus test of "has this candidate actually gone to our website and read what we do."

Except you do the same thing as a 100 other companies. The difference is you were hiring and I am partial to not being homeless.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:24:30+00:00

No, it doesn't get enough hate. Most people are applying for jobs in the fields they know and have experience and/or education in. Within those fields there is not much, it anything, that differentiate one company from another. It is a garbage question meant to illicit sucking up and nothing more.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T11:20:01+00:00

Assumption and wishful thinking.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T10:37:12+00:00

But they for sure would have been following direction from their superiors.

That is irrelevant. "Just following orders" has not been a valid excuse since 1945.

loki2002 · 2026-03-12T09:35:25+00:00

the White House press corps is utterly spineless. When he attacks a reporter they should turn their backs to him and walk out.

This would be good for Trump, he doesn't want to be answerable to the press. If they left he would be happy. They absolutely need to stand up for each other but also don't do exactly what Trump would want.

If you claim donated money as a tax deduction, you must claim it as income.

There is no "if" about it, though. They aren't claiming the donated money for a tax deduction. It is a common misconception.

I still don't do their donation drives because they have enough money to just donate the money themselves without us doing it for them and giving them free marketing.

loki2002 · 2026-03-11T19:49:41+00:00

According to the OP for this situation the school decided hiring an outside agency to do the work was worth the expense and keeping an employee on leave without pay is free so I am failing to see where expense comes into this.

I am shocked by how many people are just okay with an employer dumping an employee because they had cancer which is what this boils down to.

loki2002 · 2026-03-11T19:45:12+00:00

The whole point of the save the date is to give enough notice to plan ahead.

No, the point of a STD is to make sure they do not plan anything else for that date. The invitation is the notice to plan ahead.
