The last story. A similar event happened in Long Beach, California. A multi-story office building was built on land leased from the property owner. A bank loaned money to the building owner, which was secured by the building. The bank foreclosed on the building, and the bank had to keep paying rent to the land owner.
Parking Story: OP should have called the Police to report the car as Stolen. A paper sign taped to a pole is NOT a Legally Posted Sign and thus the HOA can NOT Legally Tow any cars... I wouldn't have threatened the HOA with a Lawsuit, I'd have just filed it and the first warning the HOA would have of the impending Lawsuit would be them being Served the Court Papers...
The house building one, I dunno how the bank and builder think they can possibly win. The house wasn’t built correctly or safely from the start. Then to find out they didn’t even own the land? Yea I don’t think so. Even if they did own the land, the house wasn’t safe in any way shape or form.
The first story, the weird separation is probably because of city or state law. It sounds like how my state used to be. Grocery and convenience stores weren't allowed to sell hard liquor. Or really, places that sold hsrd liquor weren't allowed to sell some specific things. Soda, orange juice, salt, limes, anything that's used to make drinks that isn't specifically labeled as alcohol or alcohol mix. Sour mix, margarita mix, that stuff was allowed, since it was labeled as a mixed drink mix. I'm guessing if you cut up limes and packaged them with salt and labeled them margarita mix, you might be able to get away with it. So anyway, stores would set two separate shops for this, but they weren't allowed to intermingle. You can have employees working both shops, but no crossing of products. There are also places with strange laws about what a liquor store can provide to help carry liquor. That might just be Pennsylvania, though. They have really weird alcohol laws.
On that last story, that reminds me of a farmer in a rural area that made the news a number of years ago. He wanted to give a solid middle finger to the people he owed money to while also paying them in full. See, in the US, just about anything can be a check, so long as it has all the correct numbers and is signed. Since much of the world still used velum or parchment when the laws were made, animal skin is specifically allowed...no one said the animal had to be *dead* either. The farmer wrote and signed the check on the side of a full grown cow (I believe it was done with an electric shaver, but its been a few years). The bank protested, but ultimately he was legally in the right, so he left the 'check' at the bank for the debtors and the bank to deal with.
I worked in a union shop and we got a new guy in our crew working construction. He was assigned to me as a helper. I would give him the simplest jobs and he would mess them up. Then he almost injured me a few times and I complained to the boss that I was in fear of losing my life and the guy was going to kill himself or me. He was only in our crew for a few more days. I found out he was the union VP's son. He had been in a wiring crew and was drilling holes for telephone wires in the window frame opening's so he did not have to drill as many holes. Don't know where he ended up. He may have been hired by Bob.
1st story We've got a place like that near me and we often purchase large amounts of items I've spoken with the manager about putting a cart by the counter as we're doing a large purchase and showed them the list The manager is always helpful and like how we ask instead of assuming theyll do it
You deal with a manager. The OP was dealing with a cashier. Asking a cashier to make management-level decisions is a mistake. Cashiers aren't secure enough or paid enough to override management.
@@freethebirds3578 many places do allow a certain amount of authority to people such as cashiers It's not because the business is trying to save money by not "paying enough" but as a way to better allow the flow of a transaction or customer interaction. What has caused many places to pull it back is due to the rise of Karens and others that believe anyone working is their slave
Last story: Heard it before a few months ago, and have tried to find it again because it was so satisfying. Thank you, RedWheel. Keep up the good work!
Bob the Builder: My wife and I had a house built--sort of. The contractor was a great builder but an abysmal businessman, and, like Bob, took every job he could get, more than he could keep track of. He installed a double sink where a single sink was called for, installed a pre-fab fireplace instead of a masonry one, wound up with nails through roof flashing and hot water lines, sauteeing the hardwood floor. My favorite was placing the porch roof so it wasn't over the porch. His son threw away building materials we had paid for but he misordered. The only subcontractors he could get were small outfits from out of town because he owed too much to the locals, and he was cut off from the materials supplier from overdue bills. After 2 1/2 years we demanded closing as we knew he was rapidly going under; the bank and he agreed it was the strangest closing they ever had. Then he went under, leaving MANY houses unfinished. WE were the lucky ones!
It sounds like the OP intended to say that only his boss was allowed to make the change, but I was confused too when he wound up saying that it got done anyway.
Good afternoon, everyone! Guess Ill have to find something to do instead of waiting for you today. LOL Great stories, thank you! I'll be here in the morning!
Bob the Contractor Story: Where in HELL were the City/County Code Inspectors? There is no way in HELL that house would have passed Inspection and the Inspectors should have ripped the builders MULTIPLE new Waste Disposal Orifices as they handed the Builders several Code Violation Notices, Fines and Fix It or ELSE Nastygrams... I'm actually surprised OP didn't Sue the Unholy Howling HELL out of BOB as even back then, Contracts would have had a clause requiring all Construction to meet Minimum Building Code so building such a shoddy structure would have been a Gross Breach of Contract...
Get it done story: He may generally be a good guy, but he's also a thick-headed idiot. Especially when OP isn't even ALLOWED to make the changes boss wants done. Sheesh! HOA parking story: I would have forced a change in the rules allowing guest street parking, for those showing a handicap placard/plate. And really jumped on them about their selective enforcement.
I live in NJ. Regular stores don't carry liquor. I know of at least one store that has a set up like the store in the first story. Figured it's their way to get around not being allowed to sell liquor.
My dad from when he got out of college went to work for a bank for like 10 years not the same one but he became president one. And he would tell me that they were just a bunch of assholes that the higher ups he worked for were dummies when it came to making priorities. One time he was working with an appraiser and they went to this dairy farm and this appraiser must have been from like New York because he was so freaking disgusted on way everything looked even though that the operation was in great condition It was just covered and dirt and mud what you expect from me place that has animals?
Last story: when my late Mother & I had our Garden Home built after my late Fathers death, the builder used cheap a$$ workers. Even after a final walk through, I’m still finding crap not done right.
that builder sounds like horrible Herb who build around five houses in a small town near me, some people I know went to redo the doorframe and a bunch of two by fours fell out of the frame, they were not even part of the door he just hid them there. I will say one thing at least he knew how to build a foundation but not the rest of the house.
As to the last one sir, how did those idiots ever manage to do this without checking, but it is always possible for people to own the ground in the country before building, my father owned his land before he and grandfather built the house with their own hands, so yeah it is very plausible to own the land before getting a house built.
While I understand both sides in the first story… maybe the exception should be idk… not buy so much alcohol? Probably gonna get put through the ringer for this but I kinda see the OP just as much a douche as the cashier
The first one. You are the AH. If they make an exception for and someone else sees it then they could make a stink. You are in the wrong. How many stories on this site are about people just like you trying to circumvent rules. Karen.

I'd much rather just go to a different liquor store.
Or go with someone that deals exclusively with commercial customers, instead of a liquor store.
Thanks for sharing RedWheel hope you are well. Please stay safe.🏴😁😷👍. Have a great day and a wonderful week ahead everyone
It’s the Karen apocalypse!
But you said you couldn't change anything on the gov account so how did you get it done? Last story, brilliant find by lawyer Tom.
It sounds like the OP intended to say that only his boss was allowed to make the change, but I was confused too when he wound up saying that it got done anyway.
First story I would wait until he rang all the things up then take what I came in for. Make him move all the extra.
Good afternoon, everyone! Guess Ill have to find something to do instead of waiting for you today. LOL Great stories, thank you! I'll be here in the morning!
Can never go a day without listening to your content red, keep it up❤
Small towns still play the "Good Old Boy" game.
*Comment* 👍
Happy new foreclose on something you haven’t bought yet question
Afternoon red. Hows it going?
Sure hope the HOA also refunded the cost of the tow fee to the disabled guest.
"People aren't always careful with carts." More like some people don't know how drive a shopping cart, or a car for that matter.

Not everywhere has inspection requirements. Where I live, we have absolutely none.
This was back in the 70's and building inspection was usually a paper stamp.
❤ RedWheel ❤

HOA story. Demand they disband. They serve no purpose.
Last story: when my late Mother & I had our Garden Home built after my late Fathers death, the builder used cheap a$$ workers. Even after a final walk through, I’m still finding crap not done right.

Pictures would be nice

For the liquor store there is a simple answer get the store to allow hand basket or a small cart .
Uh, no. Not a "pretty cool guy". Narcissist who needs to listen to what other people say and start caring when he's given an answer.
That's what I was thinking. That level of disconnect is troubling.
While I understand both sides in the first story… maybe the exception should be idk… not buy so much alcohol? Probably gonna get put through the ringer for this but I kinda see the OP just as much a douche as the cashier
15 bottles of booze in a month? Even if this was for an office, you might be asking yourself if somebody has a problem.
All OP had to do was say I am a bartender at such and such a bar and we need 15 bottles worth of liquor.
The first one. You are the AH. If they make an exception for and someone else sees it then they could make a stink. You are in the wrong. How many stories on this site are about people just like you trying to circumvent rules. Karen.
Then do them yourself
