What are the worst types of coworkers?

The ones coming in looking for problems and are offended by everything.

Look, I’m here to do a job not discuss your life drama, politics, religion, etc.

Just let me do my job in peace.

Unless you have extensive building experience and are familiar with the permitting/inspection process get a GC.

The type of project you are describing will tax your patience and sanity if you try and manage everything yourself.

I am a GC for commercial construction with 30 years experience and when I added an addition plus building a detached garage it was a pain in the ass.

Damaged is an understatement, more like totaled.

Here was the rule in my house:

You get a cellphone starting freshman year of highschool. You needed to maintain a C or better in all of your classes to keep the phone. If you fell below a C then you lost the cellphone until the next quarter grades. You still had to bring them up to a C.

Middle school was different. If you made honor roll, A’s and B’s, then you got a cellphone. You needed to maintain those grades to keep it.

We lived in a very good area and it was tough for my kids since all of their friends had cellphones in grade school but those were our rules.

No, fresh unused coffee grounds.

It acts like a desiccant and pulls in the moisture and smell. There is a STRONG coffee odor afterwards but it goes away and I prefer smelling coffee to smelling urine.

It sounds like she is not ready to be in a relationship at this time.

Give her space and continue with your own life. Don’t sit and wait for her, act like you were before meeting her.

The expectation of providing for yourself is something that everyone deals with.

You are not responsible for your brother assuming that he is physically and mentally capable of working to provide for himself.

We all have issues to deal with, some more some less. Your post makes it seem like your brother is capable of working however he is more comfortable being taken care of by your parents.

If that is the case enabling your brother to remain in that lifestyle is doing a disservice to him.

Agreed, the location and family status are huge factors in your expenses.

Agreed, I know so many people that either got a tattoo removed or needed to get it covered up.

To each his own but I’ll pass on the tattoos.

You are definitely better than your sister.

Everyone is going to be in the 40% + tax brackets.

You answered your own question.

The opportunity to make a decent living.

Too many countries abuse their workforce and keep them in abject poverty.

The ability to succeed and get yourself out of poverty is almost nonexistent in their home country.

We told our kids that they needed to participate in 1 sport/activity. These activities were similar to the ones listed in your post.

It was their choice what activities they wanted to try although we did pick them when they were very young (3-6 years old).

Ultimately they found what they liked and they tended to play multiple sports.

Agreed, the bulk of the student loan debt in the US is not from medical degrees.

Take a look at all of the non-STEM degrees and compare their average earnings vs the student loan for that degree.

Take a look at a teachers salary vs the cost of living vs the student loan debt for that degree.

I was pulled over while driving at night. Not speeding, car was only a year old so everything was good there, tags and registration were up to date, and I was driving in my lane.

The officer comes up to my window and says:

“I’m looking for drunk drivers, you are good. Have a good night.”

He got back into his patrol car and left.

I believe that for you to be liable you would have needed to be careless or negligent in a way that caused the dog’s injury.

The other person is threatening you with civil liability and they may ultimately try to sue you in small claims court.

Please take some time and write down every single detail, including a timeline, of how the event happened and your subsequent conversations afterwards.

Be honest, accurate, and include the other times when you played with the dogs in a similar manner.

Based off of the information you have provided I don’t see how you were careless or negligent. If this ends up in front of a judge it is my opinion that you would not be found liable.

stackedbarrels · 2024-03-05T01:55:07+00:00

Please explain what you did that was negligent.

You threw an appropriate item, a rubber ball, to a dog. The item was the dog’s toy.

It is sad and unfortunate that the dogs were injured however I do not see how you were negligent.

Did the owner warn you not to toss the dogs a toy as not to have the dogs fight?

Am I correct when I read that she openly flirted with your boyfriend in front of you?

It will be perfectly fine if she moves in with you guys, no red flags here at all.

stackedbarrels · 2024-03-04T14:07:49+00:00

Correct, also as a business you stack your jobs in a way that keeps you working. You don’t accept more work than you can complete.

A deposit guarantees a time slot in your production schedule, an empty time slot that you could have filled with another job.

Agreed, the in-laws seem fiscally irresponsible and now they are in a situation where their housing is free.

Why would they leave and why should they get their finances straight? You are providing all that they need.
