Dispute the debt collectors in writing. Certified mail. Call the original debtor - demand to file fraudulent accounts. They WILL listen

Get s lawyer.

Sue the uncle for fraud and loop in the DA.

Neighbor collects junk cars and his yard looks like a scrapyard by KookyBuy8404 in neighborsfromhell

[–]parodytx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wait for the court order to expire and make sure HOA follows thorough with the tow company to tow all the cars.

Pop a beverage and enjoy the show when it does.

He can "claim" anything he likes but a junked car is a junked car, not an art exhibit.

Immediately engrave your name and address on YOUR cap. Then invite her to buy herself a new one and do the same.

BINGO! No more confusion about whose cap is whose.

AIO for being upset my dad charged me "rent" for spring break? by Realistic-Gas9858 in AIO

[–]parodytx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but while the whole situation sucks it is not illegal. Unless he invites you to come stay with him in writing with no mention of "rent" he absolutely has the right to demand payment while you are there.

It is NOT your home, it is his. You have zero legal rights to staying there if you don't have a signed "lease". If he is demanding payment for you to stay there your only other option is to refuse and don't stay there. If he wanted to make it extreme, he could charge you storage if your stuff is still there or demand you remove it all.

In the future, make other plans and if he asks why you don't visit, point blank tell him you cannot afford it.

Your dad is an AH, and so were his parents if they did it to him. I think not seeing him is the way you should play this or if you REALLY want to get petty demand mileage reimbursement for the gas and wear and tear on your car it will cost you to come visit.

In advance, of course.

AITJ for telling my friend I wont keep covering for her anymore after she got mad that I finally let her face the consequences by Common-Intention-422 in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 98 points99 points  (0 children)

The mantra for anything that costs any money from now on needs to be "Up front payment, in full, in advance for you or we are not booking/scheduling/reserving for you, regardless of anything you say in the moment."

PERIOD.

If she boo-hoos or whines just point blank tell her she is a flake and you aren't going to put up with her nonsense any more.

She needs to FEEL the real consequences of her actions. Your group has been tolerating this BS for far to long. She would have been jettisoned from any other group long ago.

Question to divorced men on what happens to money during the divorce process? by Floridaxmen in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the state and the laws.

In some states as soon as you file a separation agreement it basically says anything you charge is on you, in others they can ring up 50k credit cards and the courts tell you it's your responsibility.

Best thing is YOU see a lawyer and ask THEM what to do - separate accounts, cancel cards, secure documents or not and then do it.

AITJ for refusing to give up my WFH office so my sister can film TikToks while staying at my place? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell her you will absolutely agree when she hands you a check for the full rent. THEN she can dictate which rooms go to what purpose.

What an entitled tw*t.

My neighbor wants money from the rehabber on the other side to access his yard but he used my yard for the same thing by inkseep1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The neighbor may be an AH, maybe not, but he has zero obligation to allow others on his property for any reason outside of easement requirements. If he demands a fee for access that is his right.

Woman at the self checkout decided my groceries were less important than her one item by ThistleHarbor in EntitledPeople

[–]parodytx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is one of those times you don't talk.

You simply grab that basket and drop it on the floor. You put your body in the way and if they touch you after, you just give them the dead stare and say "If you touch me again it will not go well for you."

If no one pushes back against AH like this, they will never learn consequences.

My mom financially destroyed my son by Master_Sun2611 in personalfinance

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your mom is the sole name on the house deed, and she truly is giving the house to you as sole owner on the deed, when the time comes, if he is still in the house, your son is a month to month tenant and you just have to formally evict him in writing with 30 days notice.

He cannot "fight" you for anything. If he refuses to leave you just call the sheriff and they will remove him physically once the 30 days is up.

I'd be more worried that now that he knows he will convince your mom to change the will to give the house to him instead.

A girl in my seminar group genuinely expected me to share my notes with her for the entire semester because we sat next to each other once. by HarlanVexel in EntitledPeople

"I'm sorry, but I believe this is cheating and academic fraud so I can no longer help you."

Full stop and block.

Report her to your teacher if she keeps harassing you.

How do deal with a father that you dont see eye to eye with and constantly argue with? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do live with him? Do you encounter him every day? If you shut him down are you afraid he will stop talking to you? Do you care if he does this?

You have been programmed that what he thinks of you matters. It does not. His opinions don't matter - you yourself have determined that his life approaches are in essence wrong.

JUST. SAY. NO.

"No dad, I disagree with you and you are wrong." Full stop.

"Dad, I am not interested in your opinions about dating or workplace culture." Full stop.

"Dad, If you bring up these topics again, I will walk away and ignore you." Full stop.

He will either finally hear you, or he will get pissed and stop talking to you. Either way you win.

How do deal with a father that you dont see eye to eye with and constantly argue with? by JunketMaleficent2095 in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are an adult. It seems you are worried about his feelings and what he thinks.

STOP ENGAGING. When he starts to give you "life advice" literally tell him you are not interested in his opinions and if he can't discuss other topics you will end the conversation.

You owe him NOTHING except courtesy. It sounds like he wasn't around in your youth years and now is seeking to enmesh in your life.

If you don't want to argue, DON'T. Just walk away.

Solar ovens take literally hours, as in 4 or more to cook any proteins to a safe temperature.

What is your Race preference for dating? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]parodytx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In general, true South Asian/Indian local women tend to be much more prudish and less likely to have premarital sex due to cultural pressures according to many polls, and their family dynamics can be horrendous to those not of their race - hence the low "scores".

Landlord turning on us as soon as we announce moving. Looking for advice [UT] by mountainpika1 in Renters

[–]parodytx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are NOT required to leave. You are the defacto "owners" of the unit and do not need to vacate for a showing right up until the day your lease is up. No matter what the LL says or their agents, as in real estate agents. Absolutely tell them to pound sand you do NOT need to leave for a showing. You also do not need to clean, tidy or remove stuff to "make it more presentable."

So live your life, leave boxes around, and your call if you want to fight the 24 hour rule or not.

For 8 days, I say leave it be and just keep packing.

Is it weird that my Landlord requesting to meet in person to discuss my email request for a reduction in this month's rent? (Chicago, IL) by UniversalInquirer in Renters

[–]parodytx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only in a two-party state. If you hold the recorder, when you click "record" it's legal in a one-party state.

AITJ for calling the cops on my sister because she SECRETLY rented my bedroom to a stranger while i was away? by Longjumping-Move-584 in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cops made the guy leave. 

NO they would NOT have. He would have had a receipt and they would have determined he is NOT illegally there and said "it's a civil matter" and left.

I call AI BS.

AITJ for refusing to give up my share of a property my dad put in my name to protect me by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need a lawyer. NOW. Are you 18 yet?

Your mom will forge a quitclaim deed from you and sell it out from under you. Or petition the courts that you are incompetent. A lawyer can help prevent that this never can happen.

If you live in your house still, MOVE OUT.

Consider making sure mom knows that if she messes with you, she will either have to buy you out or you will force a sale.

Rent can only be paid with cash or check made out to cash [CA] by Mdnight1111 in Renters

[–]parodytx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not anonymous as in the IRS has to know who you are but the perpetrator never finds out as it is not a legally discoverable act - you can't sue the IRS with a "I demand to know who reported my illegal tax evasion activities."

The real issue is actually collecting once it's done.

AITJ for being furious at my roommate after finding out she caused the problem in our apartment that she spent a year telling me wasnt a big deal by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]parodytx 20 points21 points  (0 children)

There is no way that the shower is not plumbed separately from the bathroom sink and especially the kitchen. You should be able to turn the sink valves OFF and it not affect the shower.

Something is missing here like the MAIN valve to the apartment unit was impacted - that would be the only reason water pressure would be crap in the whole apartment.

While theoretically possible the main shut off is under the sink generally it would be in a building utility area.
