Law

I own a 2km private road which the government refused to adopt.

The road is a narrow country lane, however, it has been discovered in recent months that my lane can be used to bypass an especially busy roundabout and shave about 30-40 minutes off a journey during serious rush hour traffic.

My road has seen a massive uptick in traffic from cars, but more annoyingly, heavy goods vehicles.

The road is unsuited for heavy goods vehicles. It is too narrow, so if I am driving down my lane, I am unable to pass them. This results in me having to reverse for ridiculous distances (Imagine reversing for 1km).

Furthermore, the vehicles are too heavy and are destroying the concrete road.

I have tried the following to no avail:

• Private road signs - no entry.
  Ignored.

• Collapsible bollards.
  Destroyed and removed on three separate occasions in the night.

• Blocking the road and speaking directly to drivers to explain it is a private road and they can't drive down it.
  Met with angry and hostile confrontation.

Additionally, I also have chavs speeding down the lane on quad bikes in the evenings. They get aggressive when confronted.

I have contacted the police about each of these issues. Every time they come out, document the incident, and leave. I never hear anything back.

What else can I do?

Salut,

De ceva vreme m-am si deasupra mea a cumparat cineva apartamentul si il inchiriaza in regim hotelier. Acum ca sa intelegeti daca ma chinui aud tot ce vorbesc oamenii aia. Sunt moderatori, curve, pesti, drogati pe cox si speed, rupti de alcool. Manele in blana, urla, arunca cu chestii pe jos, muta mobila la 3 dimineata. La o sapt se schimba persoanele.

Nimeni nu face nimic ca le e frica. Cu propietarul nu te poti intelege, jeg de om pe care il intereseaza banii.

Am sunat la politie nu le face nimeni nimic, le ia datele si pleaca.

Ce pot face si sa raman si cat de cat anonim?

De mutat nu ma pot muta, n-am efectiv nicio posibilitate de a ma muta din motive financiare. Dopurile de urechi nu functioneaza.

Sunt disperat. Daca e relevant actiunea se petrece in Cluj.

Multumesc in avans.

Praticamente il titolo.

Non sono sposati, entrambi +40 anni, mia cugina 16 anni. Questo individuo si è già fatto la galera per una roba seria, e da quando si è messo con mia zia molesta mia cugina, l'unica prova è un suo audio dove dice "Ti regalo X se ti fai penetrare" il problema e che fa anche gaslighting su mia cugina, abbiamo mostrato audio a sua madre (mia zia) ma dice che è finto e non ne vuole sapere, il problema è che mia cugina per quanto le si voglia bene è una ragazza troppo ingenua, io volevo sapere che vie legali io posso intraprendere. So che ha l'età del consenso, ma lui ricopre un ruolo diciamo Superiore/Autoritario, ed è chiaramente un predatore che fa grooming.

Io sono maggiorenne, il padre non è presente e la madre è una persona stupida che non andrebbe mai dalla polizia.

I requested a call back on 12/19 due to a account issue and someone returned my call from your trusted number. They called me back from the number you post to look for and on the website, he conned me into believing he had to remote into my account to fix issue and took all the money I have in the world and bought Bitcoin and sent it to himself! YOUR EMPLOYEE DID THIS! I sent every call all the screenshots and you email me that I was scammed and not liable!!! It's your employee how is this possible??? I am a disabled Widow recently diagnosed with Lupus and I have a four year old. We have had our water cut off, electric and now facing eviction! That was my life savings I had invested with Robinhood every penny I owned. Now I'm about to be homeless and I can not believe you allow a employee to harm a customer and fell no liability whatsoever. He stole from me! Bottom line. I had been averaging that stock for almost two years and now I have nothing. Every penny left from mine and my late husband passing GONE! And Robinhood had no accountability for an employee degrading their customers! I'm outraged and I need a MANAGER TO CONTACT ME and explain to me how your employee can steal from customers and not be held accountable! This is disgraceful! I need to speak with a MANAGER. Emails and messages for this amount of money is not acceptable!

I work overnight shifts at my job, so my sleep scheduled is kind of fucked up. Even on days I'm not working, I can't get to sleep until at least 4am. I'm supposed to show up at 8am at a courthouse almost 40 minutes away from me next week. I called the jury duty help number and they said I don't have to work later than 12am on that day, but it won't really matter, because I cant get to sleep anyway. If I get up at 6, it takes me an hour to take a shower, eat breakfast, put on some nice clothes and get ready, then I have to drive almost an hour down to the court house, then I'm going to end up with about 2 hours of sleep. No way I'm sleeping for 2 hours and fucking up my whole day so that I can get to the jury selection process at 8am. How bad will it be if I just don't show up? I reside in Massachusetts by the way. I know the laws are different from state to state, but apparently you can go to jail for not showing up.

My husband told me not giving blowjobs is a dealbreaker?

So, first off, I am a foreigner in USA and came here for my graduate school. I met someone and we started dating. He was very sweet in the beginning and very kind to me. He was divorced from his first wife (no kids) apparently because she started sleeping around and cheating on him and wanted an open marriage.

I was raised in a very conservative culture, and stayed virgin until marriage. When we met and started dating, this kind of became the foundation of our relationship; because I was looking for someone who can wait until marriage, and my husband went through a cheating ex wife, he thought I was the right woman, with no body count and won’t cheat him in the future because I was raised conservatively.

Anyways, we got married within 7-8 months of dating, which was quick but with our boundaries, it made sense.

Since marriage, he has been torturing me over the fact that I don’t give him blowjobs. He brings it up over every argument and tells me he will divorce me etc., the problem is that because I was raised so conservatively, I dont have any experience and it’s not even common in marriage in my country, plus i find it disgusting and nauseating.

Yet, he seems to be abusing and bullying me over that constantly, he tells me I am worthless because I can’t blow him etc. I also applied for my greencard based on marriage to US citizen, and still waiting for it, and he tells me that he will cancel it if I don’t suck his dick etc.

I just don’t know what to do at anymore. I didn’t know BJs were a requirement to be married in America. What should I do?

Don’t get me wrong, there are parts of this job that suck. For example, it sucks to have to choose between cancelling plans or attending an event with your laptop nearby because at any given moment you might have to log into vpn to send that doc that is needed “ASAP”, that it’s so hard to just take a day or two off, and that you’re constantly pulled in all directions because seemingly every client that deliverable yesterday.

HOWEVER, with a little perspective, it’s not that bad. For one, the money. I know, money isn’t everything and everyone comes from a different starting place. But I’m two jobs removed from making minimum wage at a fast food restaurant. Five years into big law, I’m still not used to the size of the paycheck. The salary and (relative) stability of the job is not lost on me. Second, regardless of the industry, everyone is working hard. My dad worked for the local government, regularly pulled 70-80 hour weeks to make overtime pay in an effort to give me and my siblings a better life. My mom was a waitress for 13 years, also pulling similar hours in the busiest weeks in an effort to do the same. In my first year of big law, I made more money than they ever did in any given year, combined. Also, the flexibility. Yes, in certain ways the job is constraining, however, there is so much flexibility as opposed to other jobs. In most days, I can structure my work day and my billables to fit my schedule, I’m not confined to the 9-5 structure. I can take advantage of slow days and attend to personal tasks, I’m not stuck at desk if there’s not work to do, I don’t have a true supervisor, and (I know not true for everyone in big law) I can work from home whenever I want or choose to go into the office when it works for me. Finally, I enjoy being around smart, motivated and passionate people. I am surrounded by brilliant people, which is also not lost on me. Yes, my imposter syndrome sets in and I feel like I somehow went undetected in the recruitment process to be condsidered on the same plane of intelligence of my peers. However, I truly think being in this environment will bring out the best in me.

I know big law isn’t for everyone, and there’s people here that work in toxic environments whose experiences are just as valid as mine, however, I wanted to make this post to acknowledge that it doesn’t have to be a miserable experience. I’m thankful for this job and enjoy many parts of it. I don’t have partnership-track desires because, ultimately, I think this job demands too much time of partners, which time I would rather give to my family. However, for the meantime, I’m enjoying the ride as much as I can.

It’s crazy to think I completely forgot about what it feels like to pay rent or for a house in general.

I rented a house almost t 13 years ago, I live in this same house today… and I haven’t paid a single dollar in rent in 12 years… why? Because my landlord passed away.

For the first two months I was frantic because I didn’t know who to pay..

I finally was approach by an attorney to let me know that the house would either be sent to a heir or auctioned off in a foreclosure, and once that happened the new owners would take over as my landlord or give me 90 days to be off the property.

That was now 11 years and 9 months ago today.

Throughout the years I just some how forgot I don’t own this house and honestly… I have no idea who does.

But I’ve kept up regular maintenance, I’ve even upgraded the kitchen and built a patio..

At this point I just live here and I feel like a squatter but who’s stopping me?

Anyone else been in this situation…

Thanks for dying John… you have saved me over 18k a year.

In 2021 my brother who was 16 was killed crossing the road by a drunk driver. Since then my mum has become obsessed with controlling me for my safety and since late 2022 has been forcing me to wear a wristband which is locked on to me. It tracks my location live, she can speak to me through it, and I can't take it off. It's been locked on continuously for more than a year. It doesn't chafe and fits ok. But it's horrible being forced to wear this without my consent. It is literally locked on and cannot be removed by me.

After having another argument with her im thinking of reporting it to police oe social service but I don't know if it will get anywhere? I need some advice on my rights and if its something the police of social services will care about or whether they'll take her side etc

I'm in England

“Do you want to move across the country to take a job with a lower-ranked firm in a role that is not even tangentially related to what you do, and for which you are not qualified by virtue of not having the required technical background? Because I would LOVE to have a chat with you so I can spend ~30 minutes of my life to make $60k and then forget you ever existed, despite that this is your one and only career and will impact you for the rest of your life.”

Like emailing me without even reading my goddamn firm profile. Each and every one of these people can fuck off, stub their toe, and have a very bad day. Rant over.

Edit: I literally just had a recruiter reach out to me in response to this fucking message and drop his LinkedIn. Fucking useless bottom-feeders.

So I had a conversation with my dad and eventually he told me that he hasn’t paid rent since he moved in. Private landlord. The previous tenants were apparently dodgy and fled the country. It’s a house divided in two with an apartment upstairs and another downstairs. A friend of my dad (let’s call him Dave) lived in the apartment upstairs and was aware of the apartment vacancy downstairs which apparently was left in a terrible state (picture a particularly hoarders episode). Dave took my dad to meet the landlord of the downstairs property to enquire about my dad renting. The landlord agreed and was happy for my dad to begin living there.

Upon visiting the property my dad noted the backyard was littered with a ton of old appliances and just general garbage. My dad then spoke to the landlord about having it removed and offered to do it himself but the landlord did not accept this and told my dad that he would remove the garbage himself. A long period of time passed and the landlord never came or arranged to have the items removed so my dad decided to get a skip and throw everything out himself.

The floors and walls of the apartment were in a terrible state with mould and decay everywhere so my dad renovated the whole place himself costing him thousands. And I mean everything. Every room in the house was completely renovated. Living room, bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, garden (old trees removed, new fences installed).

My dad went to visit the landlord to make payment and arrange the monthly pay but the landlord seemed to shrug him away and tell him to come back another time. He visited again multiple times later and told the landlord that he was there to pay the rent and every time was turned away at the door. So my dad just decided to wait for the landlord to come by when he wanted to collect payment and arrange it.

So here we are roughly 14~ years later. Not a single penny of rent paid and the landlord hasn’t come to collect or enquire about it at all.

What steps could be done here? I’ve looked a little into it and we could possibly be counted as squatters? However I’m not too sure as squatting is when the landlord doesn’t want you there? But he was fully aware of the arrangement made with my dad but just never came to collect. Could Squatters rights to property be something to look into?

Edit: England

I believe my husband was faking our marriage just to obtain a green card

My husband and I had an interview with USCIS. 5 months later, we received a denial letter. Shortly after the denial, his behavior changed. He started intentional arguments and moved out, and he said it was my fault for the denial that we need to divorce. I'm very confused why he is blaming me because the denial letter stated why it was denied, and it was definitely not because of me. Also, close to the time we received the denial letter I found that he had been in an online romantic relationship with a woman from his home country and had been financially supporting her the entire time we had been married. She knew about me, and they were plotting to get married after he received his green card and returned to his home country.

Tax season is now open, and we all know that it can be a pain. Share here you LPT!

What most people forget about? What line can we easily optimize? What something that we can do to ease our life!

Remember we are talking about life pro tips, not illegal. And don’t take anything for granted, double check and verify the information.

It's crazy that there have been thousands of illegal immigrants being processed while the people who paid the government thousands of dollars for their spouses to legally move into the US is crazy. People have been waiting 1-2 years for an interview date. Mind you, this is only the interview waiting, some people have waited 4-6 years, in categories IR1/IR2, CR1/CR2, which is supposed to be the priority of the Embassy, after they allowed more illegals in, they changed their system where they would only base from the DQ date. Thats crazy. A world where Working and Tourist Visas are the same priority as a Spousal Visa.
