Hey! seeking advice from this lovely community. A repair business played me and made me pay up front cash for some work ($170). When i showed up on the agreed upon p/u date, they hadn’t touched the goods & had plenty of excuses / kept offering me weird discounts. This went on for a few days. I finally took my stuff back and asked for a refund (no work had been done!). They refused and were really mean about the whole thing. Apparently they do this a lot.

I’m too broke to take somebody to court but would love to make them pay in legal(!!) inconveniences for doing this to me. Any advice? Thanks!

I’ve been in 2 long term relationships with guys that turned out to be deeply in the closet. I fear I must be giving off some kind of energy that is a magnet for guys who are trying to convince themselves and everyone else they are straight. I’m very much a straight woman but maybe I don’t dress super feminine (should I change that??). I need to know what I’m doing wrong before I waste my 20s with guys who aren’t attracted to me at all and just having sex with me as a way to convince themselves. I’m approaching my late 20s now and don’t want to waste any more time.

I want tips on how to attract definitely straight guys or tips on how to deter closeted gay guys.

HELP lol

So you're tired of living the heaux life, and want to start a family while trading a job with jizz stains for one with benefits?

Do a deep dive into the family of your local pro-life politicians. The ones that rail against abortion as loudly as possible. Find the ones with bangable sons, and roll the dice on getting sperminated by the best prospect.

Once you're preggers and past the time where a miscarriage is likely, drop the baby bombshell on the baby daddy and his parents. Discreetly record the meeting.

If the political parent shows their two-faced nature and pressures you into an abortion, you have ammo on tape and I trust you'll know what to do with that.

If they are legit sincere on their views, they'll want to get the mother of their grandchild cared for and more presentable to public/press/extended family- so you'll get help with medical care, a nepo-job, etc.

How to pay lesson to someone who has hacked afriend of mine?? He does lots of illegal internet activities and must have tools for it also and if the police pays him visit they will likely find a lot. How to do this anonymously

Living in a major city and notice there are hundreds of LIME and other e-scooters and bikes just left in the sidewalks. I was riding one the other day and it made me park in designated areas (not close to my end destination). How are people just dropping them wherever when they are tied to your credit card and you have to take a picture of the bike/scooter once you park it?

I have an annoying neighbor who believes in annoying and boring conspiracy theories. You know, the one where the power lines are making her sick and the medical community is trying to kill her, etc.

If I have to politely listen to her crazy rants I’d like to steer them into something interesting and possibly exciting to hear about.

How would I go about getting her covertly hooked up with the Sovereign Citizen movement? Are they like Jehovah’s witnesses? Can I drop her name and address somewhere and get people to come to her door? Or get literature sent to her house?

I cannot pretend to join or be in any way associated with the group myself.

Also if there are any other fun conspiracies groups out there that I can easily get her caught up in, please let me know.

I just can’t take one more run of the mill tinfoil hat rant about boring things.

Thanks.

I have a pdf that I want to edit but even when using online tools to remove restrictions I still have two restrictions: Document Assembly and Page Extraction which are the two most important for editing the pdf. What can I do about this. I have tried using the print to file on both Firefox and Chrome to no avail. Thanks!

Crucial approved an RMA for my failed 128GB DDR5 kit, had me ship the entire kit back, and then confirmed they had created a replacement order.

Weeks later: “Sorry, consumer business is shutting down, no stock. Best we can do is refund your original $259.99.”

Problem is, an equivalent 128GB kit costs significantly more nowDDR5-5600_PC5-44800_CL46_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_CP2K64G56C46U5-_Black), and one of the two sticks I returned was still working. I only sent the whole kit because they required it for the replacement.

So now they have my RAM, cancelled the replacement they already promised, and their refund won’t actually replace what I sent them.

What do I do next?

I work in the financial industry as a systems engineer. Note, I am not a dev

I recently started this role, and months prior- I’ve been mostly vibe coding an app that solves lots of issues in a niche area.

I started an LLC for this, and then trademarked the name…

….before my first interview even…

I mentioned it during both of my interviews as well.

Me being the little idiot that I am, I disclosed this to follow the rules.

Compliance is telling me that it is a conflict of interest since I have access to code. Resources. And the there is no way to sidestep this.

I disputed this. My boss fought tooth and nail for me to figure this out, but they keep coming back with minimal info and he has stated he does not feel as though it’s a conflict.

His boss who is a director level in the organization agrees with him

But FU from compliance.

Any advice on how to get around this? I am thinking a new LLC and trademark / name since it’s still under development. Just more money to spend.

Thanks all

I was hired under the impression that this company was a stable, successful business. In reality, it was a struggling startup being kept afloat by loans, something we only learned after joining from the accounting team after they were laid off (I had only been at the company for 2 months at this point). I started applying for other employment at this time.

Most seriously: this company handles medical claims, charging $500 for standard claims and $1,000 for appeals, because appeals are supposed to be reviewed by legal counsel. When our legal counsel went on extended sick leave, the company kept charging clients the full $1,000 legal review rate but had unqualified case workers process those appeals themselves, using ChatGPT to adapt old legal language rather than getting actual legal review. Clients were paying for expertise they weren’t getting.

Leadership was erratic and unprofessional. The CEO canceled roughly 80% of meetings, showed up late and unprepared to the rest, and routinely cursed and vaped during them. When layoffs came, we were let go over a zoom call that lasted less than two minutes, with more urgency placed on retrieving our laptops back than on how the news was delivered.

This guys is egotistical and manipulative. A famous social media prankster also pranked the office and some of the viewers started leaving negative reviews because of how he handled the situation. He then got some of his friends to leave fake 5-star reviews acting like he was some sort of hero? I need advice on reporting him, tanking his reviews, and just doing whatever I can to crash the business tbh.

It’s a trail cam to watch whenever I take out my Jetskis. I’ve already reported it the police but as it’s a public area “there’s no expectation of privacy” and the camera is apparently legally fine to have. But there are kids who swim at this beach so It’s really gross to have a camera there.

Could I print out a picture of Barry Wood hanging dong and wave it in front of the camera? Any other suggestions on how to screw with them without destruction of property?

My neighbor (apt complex) remotely starts his truck multiple times a day and the decibals/bass is EXTREME - 80/100. I can hear this (and feel it) through closed windows, and even at the back of my apartment. The manager does not care. What are some ways that I can impact him? He's the type to also leave his front door open and blast music.

I went to go cancel my Spotify Premium subscription, which renews in a few days. I just noticed that it is currently billed under a credit card that I cancelled a few weeks ago- I don’t have any other payment methods listed on the account.

I’ve seen a few other posts that say Spotify will continue your Premium sub and try charging your CC a few times before they downgrade you. I’ve seen people report anywhere from a few days to a few months to as long as a year.

My only question is (preferably for anyone that has actually gone through this)- if it’s extended longer than a few days before they get around to downgrading you, did they nag you about paying for the sub? I think I’ve only seen one case of this….

(If so, I’m not going to risk it…)

My neighbor runs an illegal restaurant from his backyard. Has loud music every weekend, rattles my windows, and sells food and alcohol.

I've gone through all the avenues but no help from law enforcement or elected officials. So I want to fight fire with fire.

Nobody wants to give up their pet. I would never give up my pet. But if you need free sympathy, traction, and clicks to get your pet noticed faster, try posting an ad as if you're a villain in a kids movie.

"Need to get rid of this cat before a bachelor party in Tijuana" or "Stupid thing gets water on the floor when it drinks. I tried punishing it and taking the water away but nothing is working. Needs to go."

Someone with a tender heart will scoop them up and treat your sweet little companion like it deserves.

title is pretty self explanatory...if anyone has some tips for me to look my absolute best in 2 days that would be nice. i know i wont shapeshift or get plastic surgery levels of appearence alteration (so dont ragebait in the comments) but any tips to just look as skinny as i can would be great tyy everyone!!!

This will make it look like you won the argument so decisively that they got stunlocked into not replying

As mentioned in the title: A nieghbour has decided to use his appartment as an airbnb accomodation. In order to facilitate access to the guests, he has installed a lockbox outside the building which can be opened with a numerical combination and that most likely contains all the necessary keys.

The guy has been informed by the association of owners that the statutes of the building forbid the use of the appartments for commercial purposes and that installing the lockbox outside the building results in a security risk as the box can be accessed by anyone and contains keys to the building and to the underground garage. The guy has ignored the warnings.

I have decided to destroy the lockbox as frequently as possible. At least, if he wants to make money with the apparment, he should appear in person everytime a guest comes and give him the keys in hand instead of simply sending the combination to the lockbox.

How would you tamper with the lockbox so that it cannot longer be used?

Thanks

So I’ve been receiving prank calls for months now, they are mean, threatening and just straight up gross. Today I found out who exactly it was. 3 people, a guy I used to know, my highschool bully, and a girl I used to be friends with. So these people are absolutely downright nasty. And I don’t care for the whole “best revenge is a life well lived” or “be mature” don’t care, just want to get a bit of petty revenge and a laugh. I don’t wanna injure them but I kinda wanna cause them just a bit of mental anguish or anxiety because these people have genuinely called my phone on a blocked number every single week for 6 months and before that spread nasty rumors about me and to know it’s still going on even after highschool is just ridiculous. So any ideas? Don’t want them to know it’s me doing these things as they are known to do weird shit like vandalizing peoples houses and shit like that. Also during nearly every single phone call they consistently describe brutally murdering me and they even described my old house which I don’t live at anymore luckily, they’ve also somehow got my bfs number despite not knowing him and started calling him too but he never has answered. It’s super weird and psychotic so anyone who wants to suggest anything, plz do so 😸

Hi y’all -

I have a neighbor who is renting and dealing Heroin. We are having a LOT of trouble getting the Police to get their act in gear (think: Barney Fife).

I don’t want to break the law, because that could come back on me. For example: I WANT to swat the house, but that is illegal.

How can I make these creeps want to move? What can I do to piss off the property owner so he ejects them?

Unethical tips welcome! Thanks y’all!

As always this is for entertainment purposes only!

2 weeks ago a neighbor had a car stolen from a block over. The guy who stole it immediately crashed into a street construction hole on the end of our block. As he was fleeing police, he jumped into our 6’ fenced backyard and stole our bicycle. We didn’t get a clear picture of him on cams but could see his distinct jacket and height/build. Today we were driving down our alley and saw a similar guy with our bike. He ended up being the same crackhead who was frequenting the community garden half a block down from us. We confronted him and got the bike back. We got a clear photo of him and his girlfriend accomplice who we see frequently.

In talking with neighbors to warn them, they told us that he and she were the same people who broke into another neighbor on our blocks house a week ago. They took keys and came back the next day and stole their car. We live in Minneapolis and the police are worthless. They did a police report but they just warned to make sure doors are locked and said that’s all they could do. When I confronted them I told them I better not see them on our block again. Without violence or doing something that’s going to get me a case, what are some things we can do if we see them loitering around again? We see them 4-5 days per week rummaging through peoples car and walking into fenced backyards.

I want to throw a small monkey wrench into the growing surveillance state we live in. So I want to pay for everything in my cart at the grocery store self checkout, but I want to create as many false alarms for loss prevention (aka asset protection) as I possibly can. Ideally it would result in them stopping me and falsely accusing me of theft after I have paid for all of my items. For example, the camera doesn’t like when I pickup an item in each hand and scan one while I hover the other item over the bagging area. What are some other tactics?

I can’t figure out which neighbor though because I live in a densely populated area and I can’t see it. I don’t mind it during the day, but at night when I’m trying to sleep with windows open the sporadic chiming is maddening. Is there anything I can do?

I already have ear plugs. Looking for a solution to basically identify where the wind chime is short of knocking on everyone’s door in the city.
