Just gotta hope he accidentally “ODs” while trying to plant fent on you during a dubious at best traffic stop.
In the event that he actually did, would that show up on any sort of public record search for my name? I think he might actually do it because 1, he’s a psychopath and 2 he’s near the courthouse enough to not be inconvenienced
Are you asking if it’ll be on a background search later or if you’ll get served? Because if he doesn’t serve you it won’t matter.
I think a lawyer here should be able to write up a cease and desist letter for the harassing text messages you’ve been given and tell him to govern himself accordingly
Team do this for tmb Team don’t do this for user goose. I would not want a psycho cop that lives near me to want bad things to happen to me
That he is a cop is the very reason I would delay a full 66 days and hope that he takes this to small claims court. The judge will rip into him largely because he's a public official wasting other public officials' time. His reputation will take a hit within the community and likely within the department. Certainly within the court system. Goad him into taking you to court. Goose Before the start of the league's season, was there an oral agreement of the timeliness of the payouts?
FWIW we went to Paris and Amsterdam with another couple 14 months ago and had a blast. They're foodies and we're museum/cathedral people, so we met in the middle and they got more history than usual and we ate better than usual. Also very easy to go separate ways if our interests didn't sufficiently coincide. They're also the only other couple we'd travel with; we have other traveler friends with whom I'm sure every little move would require a committee meeting and dithering
I assume this is in Ohio where there basically are no laws. It’s like Mad Max Thunderdome without a Thunderdome
Not with a wife or gf but one of my good friends asked our friends group if we were interested in an Avett Brothers concert. I said maybe for the gf and I. About a week later he sends me a Venmo request for $400 as he took my "maybe" as a "yes" and bought two VIP tickets for the gf and I as that is what he bought for his wife and himself. I paid it bc I wasn't going to leave him hanging but simply had a conversation with him and said moving forward don't take "maybe" as a "yes" and buy the more expensive tickets. He understood and offered to send the money back and I told him we were good. Simple convo works wonders.
It worked because (a) you paid him, and (b) each of you can apparently handle that cost without it throwing your budget out of whack.
This is long but there was a somewhat interesting situation in my friend group with wildly different opinions from everyone involved. 3 bedroom house for a ski trip of four guys. It was decided the rooms would be priced differently - the en-suite single was the most, followed by the other single, and then the two remaining guys split the third room with two beds at a slightly lesser cost. The wife of one of the guys in the double had a miscarriage a couple of days before the trip so he couldn’t go. The three guys who did go on the trip all had very different opinions ranging from the fourth guy should still pay his full share or that he shouldn’t pay anything and they should recalculate the room pricing. lots of drama ensued, and the resolution was the guy paid like $1000 of the $1500 he was originally slated to pay. The one guy who was adamant that the guy still needed to pay his full share refused to pay any more so the other two guys split the remaining $500. the one who wouldn’t pay any more is wealthy and had the en suite primary bedroom too.
that's a tough one and my opinion would probably vary based on each individual's general income. But IMO if you take the risk of planning a guys trip with a pregnant wife at home you assume most of those financial risks if the worst case scenario happens.
I feel like asking for a grand from a dude who just lost a baby is a piece of shit move personally. I’d have covered his share before doing that
Ski trips are planned months or longer in advance and a miscarriage can happen in like a matter of weeks after pregnancy begins. even bringing up the topic of paying that share to that dude is a dick move IMO especially if they had been struggling to have kids for a while
I wouldn't ask for the money either but a thousand bucks is a lot for some people and if I were in the scenario where I had to drop out of a trip last minute I would still offer to pay my share regardless of circumstances.
All good points. I thought a middle ground approach was the best approach and was fine with the way it was resolved, but yeah he’s a selfish guy. Spoiler: I was the miscarriage guy and it happened at 8 weeks, so, yes, we planned it way before I knew she was pregnant. One year later I’m going with the same group and she’s 12 weeks now.
just as a future note, we need a bat signal (AKA THE TICKER) to alert TMB's best posters (such as myself) when something like this is happening a random thread.
One, paying for the shit is the right thing to do when someone is going through some real life shit like that but also, you and everyone else will forget the thousand bucks or what you spent the thousand bucks on. Nobody will forget that argument and who thought what was important.
Friend: Hey man, I'm so sorry for your loss, don't worry about the cabin, go be with your wife, that's where you need to be. Lip: Thanks man, but I still want to contribute, so here is a venmo for X amount Friend: Completely unnecessary, sending it back. Only way this should have been handled.
