I just got a private investigator and IRS on the HOA board after receiving the audit and the lack of response from the management company as well as the HOA board at that time. Especially after the whole they don't want to be filmed there's something fishy going on there.
Cargo ship story: Unfortunately, some people just think they know it all. When I was in the Navy we had a new division officer join the ship, a very nice and smart guy. And I mean smart in the right way. He had us enlisted men TRAIN HIM. While he told us that he had a better theoretical/book learning knowledge of the systems he recognized we had the hands-on practical knowledge of how things worked and that was what he needed to learn. Spitting Karen story: That's an instance where I would have asked the police to be called. That was assault and given how Karen was coughing it's possible she had COVID! HOA story: So why didn't you go to the governance board as well? Some, if not most, of these items appear to be criminal in nature.
Last one, the corrupt HOA members were clearly committing fraud/theft/lining their own pockets. Should follow legal route to reclaim all the fraudulent payments and get the local law enforcement involved, for what seems to be criminal activity.
Yup will bet those "elevator lines" are not actually connected to the elevators, but to the HOA president house, and he was using them as his own phone lines. Thing with that is that all telco companies will absolutely respond to a lawyer asking for an itemised bill for a few years, and give all of it. If those were in an elevator the only calls would be to 911 or the elevator response line, probably once a month from a service tech doing a test. If there are hundreds of calls a month that is definitely fraud, and one that is very well documented as well, because all the calling and sending numbers are noted, and it does not take much to compel the mobile companies to issue the contact list from the cronies, or from companies that called that number, as to who they were calling.
You know there’s seems to be a pattern here, all these people get in trouble with other people in stores are all “non-confrontational”. That’s why the stories happened, because people don’t stand up for themselves.
Old equipment: There's a story about an old guy, retired from a water treatment facility, who got a panic call from his old employer about a problem they couldn't seem to fix. After some persuasion, he offered to come back, for a fee, to look into it. He came back, looked and listened to the equipment, then took out a wrench and tapped on a pipe. Problem cleared. He submitted a bill for $1000; they balked and demanded he at least itemize it. He wrote back, "Tapping on pipe #1, knowing where to tap $999."
The original story (or at least what I believe was the original story) went quite differently, although the issue was similar. It involved an old stationary steam engine at a museum and it kept on locking up on first start-up. An old guy who had serviced this type of engine a long time ago was brought in to not just fix the problem but to demonstrate exactly how to fix it, despite his insistence that he could just write out the instructions. He "made bank" on all of the fees he charged and the management paid up quite happily. The original issue was caused because this early engine was made before people understood just how metal would expand at different rates while heating up the engine, so there wasn't sufficient clearance in many of the joints. Tapping on the joints at the right places would free up the joint so it could move, and the continued heating would eventually even out the expansion of the metal so that the joints would remain free until the engine was next fired up.
Thanks! That's a much better story with great detail. Fact becomes urban legend with all the added accuracy of the internet. I heard a version of it during a tour of a hydroelectric dam.
Introverted or not, the employee should have called the manager and the cops. The management company wasn't doing their contractually required duties and then you were charged $5K? F-NO! That is a lawsuit.
The spit story. Question, if the lady verbally assaulted Op, then spits on him, wouldn't that be called assault and battery? Or battery is just physically touching someone? Thx in advance.
I'm afraid if that woman... she is clearly no lady... did that to me she'd find out what it was like to be slapped.... in self defense... by a very angry 250 pound man.
Most stores are not inclined to call police because 'they don't want to lose a valued customer' or 'it looks bad' to have police there. I work retail and have been assaulted at most jobs and management won't call police. I've been assaulted 3 times in the 5 years at my current job; twice grabbed by customers who brought blood and most recently had a customer spit in my face. All as management was present and watched.
Red, some would say you were screwing around with the screw puns to put the screws to the unlamented c/o, but honestly that dude can just screw himself.
The 1st story is absolutely preposterous...a bunch of things stitched together into an impossible whole. Ships are inspected regularly by engineers of the appropriate Classification society and "quirks" of that nature are addressed and excised IMMEDIATELY, or the ship doesn't leave port. Any "quirks" of importance are, by law, required to be reported in the logs...and someone has to sign their NAMES (and careers) on that log to take responsibility. So how many ships officers will risk their careers (and, indeed, their FREEDOM) to NOT handle any significant problems. NONE! On ships, you are as responsible for what you report as your are for what you FAIL to report!
Most of these tales are not merely fiction, but in the past year or two they're mostly AI generated fiction. Since an AI has no practical experience to draw upon and no concept of "I don't know," it confidently comes up with total nonsense as soon as it's asked to write about something which it hasn't been trained on.
You do realize these are taken from reddit and the grammar is from the original poster of the story. Correcting their grammar takes away from the stories. You want good grammar-read a published book🤦♀️

Exactly. If you act like a doormat, people will treat you like one.
Plus she was a snitch tbh

I heard a similar story about an old locomotive engineering.

Happy hump day RedWheel hope you are well. Thanks for sharing. Please stay safe.🏴😁😷👍. Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead everyone
Good morning, friends, Happy Hump Day! Hope you're going to have a good one! Love all the stories!!! Catch you again later!
The spit story. Question, if the lady verbally assaulted Op, then spits on him, wouldn't that be called assault and battery? Or battery is just physically touching someone? Thx in advance.
Pretty sure spitting on someone is considered assault
It has been my understanding that assault is verbal/emotional as in putting a person in fear of harm/death and battery is physical.
@@HuskerGram just did some reading up on this and you are correct

My Mom had slapped someone for spitting at her. That customer is lucky she didn’t come across someone like my mom. 😂
I love how you managed to put two "screw" type dad jokes into that response Red Wheel...
SUPERB 👌🏻👍🏻
Good morning everyone and RedWheel 😊
Happy Hump Day everyone 😊
First 😊
💜🧁✌️
OMG It's Delta at sea with that oil ship
Morning everyone.
HOA's should be outlawed.
Red, some would say you were screwing around with the screw puns to put the screws to the unlamented c/o, but honestly that dude can just screw himself.
Red, just so you know, the plural of Kleenex is "Kleenices" also, box is plural. One bock, two box. Therefor, you buy a "bock of Kleenices." Lol
Got to love the self-righteous Heroes of Reddit
Not good with confrontations but trying to get someone to calm down????

How story was all backsory and details, anticlimactic and very dissatisfied. Not worth listening to
"bought new golf cart for our money". Your editor really needs to learn English.
