My son has his car for sale, last night some guys came, (they said) after driving for two hours to see it.

They then after a short test drive said that there was oil in the coolant and it needed a new gasket and therefore only offered a very reduced price.

We had heard about a similar scam online, and we were suspicious, so my son didn't accept the price and they left after trying to convince him to take their offer.

We have taken it to a garage and know that it was the attempted the scam where they add oil to the coolant, which makes the engine look faulty.

We have the phone number and the first name of the guy but nothing else.

They visited our house to view the car so they know where we live, although they said they drove 2 hours for all we know they could just live in the next town.

Is there anything we could do to help them not do this to other people etc.

I only heard about this scam yesterday, but apparently it is quite common and widespread currently.

Scorpion venom is worth millions of dollars a gallon, and 140$ a drop smaller than a grain of sugar.

IN THEORY, what if I harvest 10 normal sized drops of venom for 140$ and sold it? I heard there are some niche people addicted to scorpion venom, but I don't know if that is true. I've seen a woman addicted to bee venom on "my strange addiction" or some kind of show like that.

I also heard of a guy somewhere who is immune to a bunch of snakes because he injects small amounts of venom in his blood 😬

OK LASTLY, would this be illegal??? It's just bug juice. I wouldn't be surprised if it was illegal though. Its mostly for very clean laboratories for studies and would probably need strict paperwork and rules, not randoms on the street.

No, this is not advertisement. I will not sell you anything.

Theory post. Mods feel free to remove my post if this doesn't suit the rules I'm not sure.

My dad refuses to replace the fire hazard of a phone. It's sa Samsung M12 with clear battery bloat. The screen itself has popped off slightly and is being held in okay with the help of a case. I cannot stress how aggravating and hard-headed he's being about replacing this. As long as it works, he won't replace.

How do I make it so that the phone doesn't turn off ever again? I want to make it so that the phone looks like it failed without tampering (because that's when he'll likely have someone take a look and the repair guy might tell him it's been tampered - which could only be me). Even if it won't turn off ever again, it's fine.

I do not have a computer/laptop. I don't have much hardware experience — I've replaced the switch lite screen to oled but that's with a thousand prayers and that's about it. Any ideas?

how do you make a fake linkedin account to snoop on people? whenever i try it immediately is onto me and locks me out until i verify with an ID. i see people online always talking about their burner linkedin account so i’m just wondering how you do it.

I worked for an acupuncturist last year and offered to recycle 4-5 of her sharps containers for some extra cash. At the time I was in a different city, where disposal sites were all over the place. I ended up with some gnarly health issues, and wasn’t able to drive again until recently, so they remain in my car. Now, the current city I’m in directed me to the local disposal center. Upon arrival they told me they don’t accept sharps and that the only way to do so in town is to have your trash service do a pick up for an extra fee. I currently don’t have a current trash service, as I am houseless right now. How the hell should I get rid of these sharps without harming any folk/animals and not pay anything?

It can’t require a verification code because I want them to be spammed and not just send a verification code that I can’t use. They deserve hell and I want to send it to them virtually. I keep seeing Scientology but they now require sms verification and the same goes for jahovas witnesses, any help is greatly appreciated.

Alright, let's set the scene. I'm from and live in Sweden, and getting hired has been a hellscape since at least 2016 when I graduated from high school and first started applying. There effectively aren't any unqualified jobs, even the largest grocery stores run on what would be considered a skeleton crew in the US etc. I've barely ever had any interviews whatsoever since every single position I'm remotely qualified for would have at least 500 applicants.

I've been able to get jobs in other EU countries, however. It was always much easier to get interviews etc. The first one lasted for about a year until the company shut down. The other decided to not let me stay after the half year trial period. This was caused due to untreated mental health conditions to be honest, my manager wanted to relocate me to their back office department instead, but there wasn't room there for me. So not completely useless.

After that I basically tried to get employed in various other EU countries, working as a customer support agent, since they would recruit people from Sweden to handle this for that market, but employed elsewhere. Unfortunately none of these lasted for more than a week or so for the aforementioned reason. I have now started receiving treatment again.

After that I've been studying CS for about 4 years, but I don't have my degree yet even though it's supposed to take at a minimum 3 years. My skills have gotten quite rusty too since I've been unemployed and barely done anything for the last 1 year.

So, anyone who has any advice on how I could maybe fudge my resume? I'm not feeling that good about faking it, because even if they don't catch on before I even get an interview, I'll likely fumble when they ask questions. I barely even remember much in the way of details from the jobs I actually did. If I wanna apply for the really basic jobs that don't technically have any qualifications but that do in practice due to massive competition, the career path I've supposedly been taking will seem very suspicious.

I'm not really into moving back to any of those other countries right now, not ready for it yet. And at this point I would likely have to make things up even for that.

TL;DR: How do I make stuff up for my resume without anyone in the likely 3-interview hiring process catching on to the fact that I don't have much actual experience?

Had a street tree growing outside my property that shot up to around 5m while remaining relatively thin.

After watching it whip around violently during recent storms, I decided to cut it back to roughly 3m before it potentially damaged my cars I park under it.

Didn't get approval beforehand.

Now the community association (body corporate, strata, HOA) has sent me a formal notice for unauthorised works, and I'm potentially looking at financial penalties.

What's the smartest way to get out of this with minimal damage to my wallet?

Anyone know any loopholes, technicalities, negotiation tactics or ways to make the association reconsider?

Not looking to fabricate evidence, just interested in creative ways to challenge the penalty or get it reduced.

What conditions could one elaborate on that could make them unfit to fly? I have had a seizure in the past and was wondering if that could do something

Hi guys,

Need some help for my friend (M) who is dealing with some pathetic behaviour from one of the other mothers (B) at school pick up. This is outside of my jurisdiction lol

My friend M was "friends" with B until M stopped being a people-pleaser and letting B walk all over her. Now B is acting like a typical bully at school pick up: gossiping to isolate her, pointing and laughing at her, sending photos and videos of them all hanging out without her, whispering behind her hand to the other mums while they all look at her... M has simply blocked them and has been ignoring it. Now B has even changed her school pick-up routine so that M has to walk by her/the group and hear this behaviour every day.

Do we have any ULPT to make B miserable and stop focusing on M? B is clearly looking for a reaction so giving her one won't be satisfying, and we also need to keep it subtle for the kids sake/being on school grounds etc.

Thank you!

Your ad feeds will be filled with booty cheeks and see-through corsets, rather than whatever bullshit algorithms try to give you.

Long story short....a friend of mine bought a sectional off Facebook from a neighboring city and didn’t have the means to pick it up, so I went ahead and contacted the seller and asked if they could deliver it for a price they gave me a price I paid it they never showed up blocked our numbers, etc.

But they were dumb enough to provide their address when they thought my friend was gonna pick it up, so I’m just looking for some ideas to make a couple weeks miserable for them without breaking the law

My fiance has been divorced for 3 years from a man who was emotionally and verbally abusive, who has had the police called on him multiple times throughout their marriage, and was physical with her at least on one occasion where the police also had to be involved. Unfortunately they have 4 young kids together and he gets partial custody (every other weekend and one weekday every 2 weeks).

Over text he is constantly abusive towards her, berates her, blames her for all the failings of him as a father and husband, but she has to maintain some form of contact to coordinate with the kids. Just recently there was a mixup in the schedule (caused by his constant summer conflicts that caused rescheduling in the first place) and he did not get one of his days, even though he consistently either shortens or skips out on his assigned parenting time and the family schedule has been known for many months ahead of time. He has decided he "wants her punished in front of a judge and get jail time" so while they are trying to resolve the scheduling and communication through Friend of the Court, he refuses to resolve the issue and is forcing it to go to a judge. Because of the kids, she refuses to take the low road and go on any counter-offensive towards him, but it feels like she is being punished for being the responsible parent who won't stoop to his level.

How can I, on my own without her involvement, get back at him and make his life as miserable as he is doing to her? I want to use the police against him since he's a known abuser to them, and I want to make him regret he ever messed with her again.

So I’ve seen there’s quite a few posts here and there about a neighbour and their music, mines a little more complex.

So the neighbour in question is the floor bellow me to the right, so they’re vertical to me. And they play SUCH LOUD MUSIC. 8am full volume, 4am FULL VOLUME 10 AM FULL VOLUME!! All hours of the day and night.

I’ve spoken to them, they’ve apologised said they’ll sort it, didn’t play music for a day… proceeded to go back to their usual ways. Got the council involved and they’ve been over TWICE AND HE CONTINUES!!

I’m at the point I’m having to use noise cancelling earplugs every night… in my OWN HOME! COME OOONNN😭

I’ve seen 2.4hz jammers but seems a little complex for me. I’m just not sure what to do I can’t be the only one who’s been in this situation?

I don’t want to play a loud speaker cuz it’ll screw over the neigbour directly bellow and next to me, I just want to smite him 😔 plz help 🙏

This person has an active warrant for failure to appear for a court date. The charge was driving without registration or insurance.

I read that if I do an anonymous tip, it won’t be acted upon because it’s such a minor violation and not high priority. Any other way I can get this to happen?

Is it bad to alter my pay slip to make it look like I’ve worked more hours than I do? My boyfriend does free lancing and most of his pay is cash, a lot of landlords won’t accept that or word to mouth where I live.
I don’t understand how most rental applications work , or what they’d be looking for ?

It has officially been around nine months since I graduated and started looking for a job.

I have been told that this employment gap could be a red flag on my resume. Despite trying hard, I have struggled to find a job. This has also affected my mental health and led to phases of depression and anxiety.

Since I haven’t taken any courses or done any volunteering during this time, I am now unsure how to address it.

I also understand that corporate life can be unfair and that companies often don’t care much about their employees, so I don’t feel particularly guilty about faking something if necessary. However, when I am doing this, I want to make sure it is foolproof which is why I need your help.

Thanks guys!!

I really want to chew out the lady at my property management company. The woman in charge has been so fucking nasty to me the last three years for no reason, and this last incident has me burning on the inside. I feel like I can't really defend myself though (especially with the most recent incident) because she has control over my living situation.

A coworker of mine said that he use to lie about his rental history by saying he was living with his parents or friends. He'd leave some properties without cleaning or getting all of the furniture out and was chill not getting a deposit back.

Is there any way for landlords to know if you're lying about your past residence? Will they even care to check if you say you were living with your parents? How much would it decrease my chances of renting somewhere in the future? Or should I let this go and not prove my innocence to rub it aggressively in her face?

I also unfortunately rented from the same company but moved out in the spring of 2020. How far back do they normally check?

Ultimately I need to know if I can chew her out and leave an honest review on their google review page along with some good ol shaming on my hometown's reddit without ruining my chances of renting in the future.

Hey all, to make a long story short, I'm looking for some advice on how best to deal with an invalid collection sent out by previous landlord. As for why it's not valid I will keep it brief and just say that they broke both the terms of the lease, and the texas state law multiple times while I lived there and are hitting me with a bunch of charges on the why out in retaliation for me making a stink about that at the time. I refused to pay these for obvious reasons, and now they have sent them to a collection agency.

For reference I am in Texas.

I have received the initial 30 day notice from the collections agency, but the collection has not appeared on my FICO or trans union scores. To be clear the notice says I have 30 days to dispute or request information about the debt holder, but does not set a due date for payment.

The tutorials I have found online for getting fraudulent collections removed all assume that the collection is already on these accounts and go from there. Is there nothing for me to do to dispute the validity of this collection until it shows up on a credit report, or is there something i am unaware of which could prevent them from even getting on the report initially?

Conversely, could the lack of a ding on my score and the odd wording of this letter mean this is a bluff and they already know the debt is not enforceable?

I am hesitant to respond by mail, as neither my old landlord nor the collections agency have my current address, and there email says "we will use any information you provide to aid in in collecting the debt". My understanding that a debt company not having your current adress really makes it hard for them to enforce the debt. However I also know sending a letter of disputeis one of the maneuvers you can pull, what is the best play here in ya'lls opinion?

In summary, should I wait till this shows up on my report to send a dispute letter, or is there any other advice or ideas you can give me?

P.S. It should go without saying, but I'm not interested in hearing from the freaks who think landlords can do no wrong and want me to just pay this. Thx

I am wondering if anyone has any guidance here? Therapy is WILDLY expensive and I would love to avoid the cost. But I need evidence that I went… Help me 😂 how do I make this happen without paying 200 bucks or even 160 for a single session???

This is an embarrassing one, as the older brother by a few years but, since my brother started working out, he's become this arrogant and threatening piece of shit. He terrorizes the fuck out of me and my mother, for literally no reason. He assaults us both, he's harassing her for something all the time, insulting her relentlessly. He's clearly let the strength amplify his insecurities. We've essentially been reduced to an outlet for him to cope with being a loser. My dad, who is a distant cunt, doesn't care, never punishes this. Despite the abuse, my mother also enables the mistreatment. She forgets easily, she never sets boundaries. I'm on my own.

It's most embarrassing because he's younger than me, and that hurts to admit, but it's just the situation. He's always been more a traditional son to my father; he's been seen to far more, despite arriving later. He dodged a lot of misfortune, and I haven't. I'm neurodivergent and have spent most of my life suffering severe mental health issues; too defeated to have ever been capable of eating properly, let alone commit to a fitness routine. I'm very weak. I let neglect become a habit. I'm trying to do better for myself in several ways, but right now I just can't find room for a whole new discipline.

He's capable of hurting me badly. I know, if I ever pushed him too far, he'd be too much of an idiot to hold back ; he would hurt me in ways I'm not prepared for. I think he could easily destroy my life.

I should move, but I just can't afford to. I've been trying to settle down and build a portfolio to someday qualify for art commissions. I'm working on some exciting and meaningful projects outside of that both alone, and with friends. Living under such constant stress isn't helping. I think someday I could overcome this and do really well for myself, but that's simply not how things currently are, and won't be for years.

I want to nudge him out somehow. I want him to genuinely settle on the conclusion that living elsewhere would be more desirable. I don't want him to know that I've created this perspective for him. I'd want him to be miserable, but not such that he's able to discern it as a mission to drive him out. I just want him gone. I try to ignore him but he responds to this in ways I can't tolerate; lately it's been messing with my dinner plate. I've been really fucked up over all this. I don't feel at home anywhere now.

This month, I moved into a new apartment in a country/city with extremely high temperatures and humidity, and I must run my AC unit all night to keep it at a comfortable/reasonable 25°C (77°F). This is new to me, so at first I didn't think much about how I was feeling sick at night and well into the day, like I had a really bad sore throat. Upon closer inspection, the inside of the unit was covered, and I mean covered, in black mold.

When my friend and I moved in, the landlord (technically tenant and we are subtenants) said that the AC in my room is the oldest and if it were to break, he would replace it. I asked him to come clean it this past week, and he cleaned the filter but not the vents and inside. So I took matters into my own hands and took it apart as best as I could and cleaned it, but it was impossible for me to get all the way inside. Last night was worse. I have an asthmatic cat, and I'm concerned for both of our health if this progresses. How can I discreetly break my old ass window unit so that my landlord thinks it just crapped out on me and replaces it? Is it sketchy for it to break less than a month after coming to this country and moving in? For reference, I am pretty handy and have some basic tools.

I joined a group chat with three other moms shortly after moving to town a year ago. The chat was mostly quiet until one mom, who had moved away, announced a visit and suggested getting our sons together. Two of us responded enthusiastically, while the fourth mom stayed silent for weeks.

I called the silent mom, who was vague about her plans, and the visiting mom, who said she was available on one of the 2 days she’d be here. I canceled my son’s soccer practice to make time for a park meetup during the time visiting mom Desais she was free. The other mom never responded to my call.

The silent mom then criticized my individual outreach in the group, saying we should model direct, respectful communication and avoid unnecessary drama for our sons. She suggested dropping the plans because of scheduling conflicts and said she and the visiting mom had other commitments.

I felt publicly reprimanded for trying to coordinate a meetup the visiting mom had proposed. Neither of the other moms defended me. Feeling humiliated, betrayed, and no longer able to trust them, I left the group chat.

Give me some tips.

My ex won't leave me alone post breakup 2 years ago. Stalking me online, finding new ways to contact me to circumnavigate blocking, approaching me in person in public, interfering with my work through mutual industry connections, etc.

She was secretly married to her French ex when we dated and she admitted it was a "very illegal" sham marriage to facilitate her going to grad school in Paris for cheap. They never combined their lives as a married couple. Caught her lying to me about visiting him and she denied it so I told her no contact and blocked everywhere. 2 years later this grifting narcissist won't leave me alone.

How do I report immigration fraud and a sham marriage to French authorities?
