  1. I don't know. Someone else commented that such a ruling in the US could lead to OSHA coming into your home and requiring you to meet OSHA regulations. Is the toilet paper roll the correct distance from the toilet and height from the ground? Do you have handicapped accessibility? Keep going with that train of thought and see where it goes.

  2. It only takes one malignant narcissist with a criminal mind, who doesn't mind suing his elderly mother for triple damages and forging documents.

  3. I recently saw an article about how brain changes often cause the elderly to become too trusting. They lose their healthy skepticism. Then, of course, you have the kind who will shoot at you from the front porch.

  4. Were you home schooled? 🙄

  5. Because most lawyers either aren't that bright or don't care. I've seen enough lawyers in court to be appalled.

  6.  @Please_Consume_Irresponsibly  Bullshit. Nobody's going to pull you over for going 2 miles under the speed limit. Over, maybe, but not under. I've been driving for 49 years.

  7. I live in a right to work state. They can fire you for anything or nothing. They can fire you just because they had a bad day. On the other hand, UK regs cause a lot of unemployment at the two-year mark. Employers don't want to take the chance of being saddled with employees that they can never get rid of.

  8. You could also demand (in writing) proof that you owe the debt. Most of the time, they've got nothing. Even if it isn't a collection agency, sometimes they're just fishing. My husband was in a hospital out of state on a business trip once; a couple of years later, they sent him a demand for payment (they had already been paid years ago). I had him write to them demanding proof that he owed the debt and we never heard from them again.

  9. The local news here interviewed a middle aged woman who actually fell for the infamous Nigerian prince scam. So not only did she fall for it, she went on television to admit to it! There's nothing like admitting on television that you're dumb as a box of rocks.

  10. I agree, but with government regs growing ever longer and the bureaucracy growing ever more powerful, I don't see that happening.

  11.  @nunya3163  It can't be. Junk mail gets a greatly reduced rate, so if they just raised the rate for junk mail, it would probably solve their financial problems. But nooooo.

  12.  @sailirish7  Some of us don't have a lot of choice. Not everyone lives in a big city where they can find everything they want or need, and not everyone has the option of driving to the store several times a week.

  13. According to the article, he only told his daughter's mother, the one with whom he had the nondisclosure agreement.

  14. They probably don't actually think you're a criminal. They just SAY they think you're a criminal so that they can seize your money. That's why they'll seize money from a business bank account when they know full well that it's not criminal.

  15. That's more likely to end in a fight than in a lawsuit over the drink.

  16.  @Nickle314  The teens. Defamation, at the very least.

  17.  @2lefThumbs  I don't think so. In my state, all mail goes to the capitol city for sorting. No mail sent in town stays in town for delivery. For example, if I mail a letter to my neighbor two doors down, the letter gets sent to the capitol city for sorting, then gets sent back to my town for delivery. It's incredibly inefficient and it's been that way for many years. No wonder they're bleeding red ink.

  18. Not me. As someone else pointed out, it could very well lead to OSHA requiring people who work at home to conform to OSHA regulations. Is your bathroom handicapped accessible? Do you have a toilet that meets handicapped regulations? Is there a bar, and does it conform in placement to OSHA regulations? Steve did a video on those OSHA regulations not long ago and how a couple of inches off on the placement of the handicapped bar in the restroom got a restaurant sued. In this day and age, do you doubt the possibility of the federal government deciding that it has the right to require you to make all of the changes necessary to conform as a place of business?

  19. I said the same thing; just go to the UK or Europe. I concluded that they don't want handicapped or elderly people out and about. They make no accommodation for them, and as a consequence they aren't. I saw very few elderly people on the street, just a handful, and nobody who was in a wheelchair. There was no way to enter a shop or a restaurant in a wheelchair, and even if they could, restrooms were often down a steep set of stairs that were daunting to a lot of able-bodied people.

  20. Watch the road, man. It isn't worth a car crash.

  21.  @TeamDryRub8463  That isn't the question. The law is written in such a way that it limits the liability of the hotel in the case of guests, but not if the person isn't a guest, evidently. This is a question about the law as it stands, not about ethics. Obviously, in a question of ethics, the hotel should be liable in either case. The Marriott are scumbags.

  22. Nobody proved that Cosby was guilty of anything. In his 2005 deposition, all he admitted to was doing drugs and having sex with them. Having affairs, in his words. They all dogpiled him when he became vocal against blm and denounced black on black violence. They Herman Cained him. They Kavanaughed him.

  23.  @kurtwetzel154  My son's mother-in-law told me that she doesn't know how to cut and paste. She can take photos and call on her smartphone, but that's about it.

  24. Reagan made this legal. Blew my mind at the time. It's turned out to be exactly the nightmare I thought it would.

  25. You know, if you doubt that he was telling the truth, you can look on the date stamped on the envelope. Just a thought.

  26. Uh-huh. My first thought was that the township didn't want the family there. This is the town's way of putting up a big neon sign saying, "Get out."

  27. It's been like this for about 35 years now. I won't hold my breath.

  28. As far as I'm aware, they don't need a warrant. The very existence of the money is probable cause. The mantra is, if you have money on you, obviously you're doing something illegal. I'm not kidding.

  29. It's like the TSA; members of Congress don't have to put up with it so they don't care. My brother-in-law works for the state department; he just flashes his ID and sails on through.

  30. Just to say, my husband's great-great-grandfather died when he fell of the literal wagon while he was drunk. It made the local newspaper.

  31. The answer is a disposable breathalyzer. The grocery store has them for $3.49. If you can afford to buy drinks, then you can afford the $3.49 for a breathalyzer. If you're too cheap, then take your chances on getting caught.

  32.  @carultch  He would probably get it back in that case, except in Montana, where an engagement ring is an unconditional gift. If she was still married, their wedding wasn't legal, so....

  33. I couldn't find any information about that. They were students in his private driver's ed class.

  34. I worked in a hotel years ago; I was taken through the kitchen of the restaurant once and was told NEVER to tell anyone what it looked like. So gross.

  35. Insurepost reimburses for postage. I've been using them for years. They only insure purchases from seller to recipient, however, and there is a list of things that they don't cover.

  36. Nah, that's from back in the day when engagement rings weren't so ridiculously expensive. My mom's wasn't even a quarter carat. It's still uncommon in the UK to have big diamonds.

  37. That's what wills and trusts are for. If you just give someone a physical object in person, it's pretty hard to get it back.

  38. Hotels have been doing it as a service since at least the Victorian era. It's expected. When guests arrive and the room won't be ready for hours, are they supposed to sit on it for two or three hours? Cart it around with them to the restaurant down the street? Yeah, that'll work (not). It all could have been avoided if the employee had merely asked for ID, which he didn't. Three seconds of exercising a tiny bit of caution, but noooo, the employee couldn't be bothered. I think the man should've sued the employee AND the hotel.

  39. I still don't understand how the hospital could claim that they couldn't pay their workers more, but they found enough money to sue them for leaving and sue the other hospital for hiring them. Not a smidgeon of self-awareness.

  40. I thought the same thing. When I worked for a university library, I accidentally stumbled into a huge fraud conspiracy. I think everyone was in on it except me. I was clueless; they thought I had caught them red handed, but I had no idea what the deal was until I came into some additional information three years after I left (the missing piece of the puzzle). They tried everything to get me out, including putting a porn virus on the public computer I used in a classroom. Unluckily for them, I actually caught the guy doing it (he worked in IT). I was able to hide it from students or I could've been fired and brought up on charges.

  41. I bought a used car a couple of years ago from the owner. He wanted cash, but there was no way that I was going to drive around with thousands of dollars in cash precisely because of civil assets forfeiture, so I got a cashier's check from the bank. I don't know if that's better, but I thought it couldn't hurt.

  42. Most cops are dirty. Everywhere, from big cities to the smallest towns. Cops that are righteous get driven out quickly.

  44. ​ @sendthis9480  Do you even know what a bikini is? Look up bikini tops. Bikinis have two pieces, a top and a bottom. I think you're the one who needs to have a talk with your mom.

  45. I said so right out loud during jury selection. An employer was trying to jip an employee out of his pay. A lawyer who was selected told me after the selection that she was firmly on the employer's side, so she lied during the selection process.

  46. I searched Smile for the Institute for Justice and they don't list it as an option. You have to search for IJ, not the full name.

  47. That exact accident just happened to my husband! A 16 year old kid was watching the cop across the street instead of where he was going. Also, jury selection goes like that in Iowa where I live. They don't care if your family will starve, if you'll land in jail because you can't pay your child support, if you don't have transportation from out of town, or anything. It's insane.

  49. Considering what's happened on yt in the last day, we are supposed to be grateful that we still have an account. Several of the channels I follow have been deleted since yesterday.

  50. In most states, it's the man's property until the wedding, in spite of all of these celebrities who keep the multi-million dollar ring after they dump their sucker boyfriends.
