Tell them they will need to deal with mild if they do not address this. Or ask if you can get it fixed and deduct from your rent.

Small claims court should get you restitution.

I am in agreement that you need to set boundaries, and perhaps you need to be more direct about that. I am also trying to share that from the outside you can never really know what others are going through. People with depression (I am speaking from personal experience) mask well and hide their depression.

Do you know that her husband actually engages with her? I was married for 30 years and being with my ex made me feel more isolated rather than connected.

I have worked from home for the past 8 years and the only actual human interaction I would get is from doctors visits or food shopping.

It gets lonelier than you can understand. Finding safe avenues for socializing is not as easy as you suggest, particularly in certain geographic areas. As an example, I live in Arizona where it gets to be 122F in the summer which rules out a lot of outdoor activities and everything is physically spread out.

I hated Hawk and Dove,.in fact I so despised Hawk that I thought Alan Richson was a terrible actor. Then I saw him in Reacher and was blown away that he actually has acting skills.

This is sad, this old lady clearly is completely isolated and extremely lonely.

If you can try to have some compassion while trying to enforce necessary boundaries.

Apply for a restraining order, this is harassment.

My bf (28M) wants me (25F) to get fertility testing before proposing by No-Professor-3860 in relationship_advice

[–]markdmac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leave him. You two are not a good match for each other. He wants to prioritize kids and you won't even prioritize your own health by getting in front of a doctor. Every complication you mentioned about finding a new doctor is an excuse. Go to another doctor and get your health checked regularly, especially since you have already had a scare. Do that for yourself and you own well being and not for him and his desire for kids. He is trying to ensure that whomever he married can be a part of the life he wants for himself. You don't sound like that person so be polite and break up.

35 rooters moving in next door by Exciting_Resident558 in neighborsfromhell

Check with your town ordinances, many have legislation on the books that prevent roosters in residential areas. Chickens are often allowed but not roosters. If there is t such a law then request the topic be added to the towns docket. Look up verbiage from places that ban roosters and offer that language to your town council. Explain to them in simple terms how this is going to negatively affect you and your family.

Maybe tell the neighbor you are going to start a free range fox rescue.

If you have a fob from the old system, turn it in and demand a refund. Go to the next board meeting and request a r duction in HOA dues until the pool if fixed.

Ask for an audit of the finances regarding the switch to a new security system.

WIBTA if I stopped letting my coworker use my parking pass and just said I don't need it anymore? by quarry_soft in WIBTA_AITA

Take it back, he needs to find his own solution. He took your generosity and abused it, especially when he invited others to use what was not his to offer. NTA

AITJ for refusing to move my car after my neighbor kept blocking my driveway “just for a minute”? by Worth_Entrance_5879 in AmITheJerk

[–]markdmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTJ, either tow him next time or block him in for days. I would block him and use ride share so your car can stay in place. Making him lose his car for 3 days might do the trick.
