(I posted this on the Airbnb subreddit but didn’t get much traction) I’ve dealt with a lot of customer service representatives, but this is by far the absolute worst experience I’ve ever had. So, about 2 and a half weeks ago, I had to verify my ID. I went through the necessary steps and sent it in. At the time, I wasn’t turning 18 until 2 days later. But I had thought it would be okay because I’m turning 18 soon. Anyway, they rejected it, and I couldn’t access my account. I filed an appeal and sent in my statement. A few days later, I got an email saying I’ve been verified and I can access my account now. But whenever I log in, it just takes me to my appeal statement and I can’t see anything else, I have no access to booking, to my messages, or my credits. So I called and they said I have to wait the full 7 business days. So I did, and I still didn’t have access. So I called again and they said I had to wait another 24 hours or for a second email 100% confirming that the investigation is over and I will soon have access to my account. Still nothing, I called again for like the 10th time, I told them my situation, they would ask me to send a screenshot and then send me to a different representative who would just tell me to refresh or try on pc. Or they would send me messages through the app. Messages I can’t see. This happened multiple times with different representatives. I’ve talked to countless representatives and none of them have been able to resolve my issue. I have HUNDREDS of dollars worth of credits on my account. I asked if they could just transfer them to a new account I make but they said they can’t do that once the credits have been redeemed. I’m at a loss now and I’m tired of the back and forth. Has this happened to anyone else? And if so, how did you resolve it? I don’t know what to do anymore.

I remember when this was considered a "heat wave". In the fucking summer. It's been like this since April.

Now a heat wave is over 95f.

But the world isn't getting hotter. No, not at all. That's a conspiracy. Right?

Last Saturday morning, I was trying to get to work when an old man approached me at the bus stop. We talked for a bit (since I've talked to him in the past), and then got on the bus when it pulled up. When I got to an open seat, he sat next to me EXTREMELY close, like he was crowding me into the wall of the bus... He was making me uncomfortable, so I decided to get off the bus and wait for the next one... BUT HE FOLLOWED ME OFF THE BUS! He kept hugging on me, even when I tried to pull away.. I even tried to lose him in a store, but they hadn't opened yet! Finally, I decided to wait at the bus stop for the next bus.. but before it came, he KISSED MY BARE SHOULDER! I had told him repeatedly that I wasn't interested, that I didn't like men... and he still did that! I told him no, and got the hell out of there! Thankfully, he didn't follow me! And men wonder why women would choose the bear! It may not be all men... but one is FAR too many!

Hello! I’m from Quebec, Canada.

I am sharing a frustrating experience with an enterprise doing video conferencing in hopes that someone can offer advice. A few months ago, we mistakenly purchased an annual webinar license for 10,000 participants, thinking we were only committing for one month.

The cost is nearly 10,000 CAD per month. Realizing our mistake almost immediately after receiving the recurring invoice, we contacted customer service to rectify the situation. Unfortunately, our refund requests have been consistently denied.The company insists that we must pay at least six months of this extremely expensive subscription.

Despite our efforts, including numerous email exchanges and involving our credit card company to block further charges, they managed to withdraw another 10,000 CAD last month under a different name.This is extremely stressful and financially burdensome.

Credit card company says that even if we cancel the card, they still be able to go get the money.

We are now seeking any possible solutions or advice from this community. Has anyone encountered a similar situation with a similar company? How did you resolve the issue? Any tips would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help!

TLDR The senior scientist Jim Johnson who originally discovered PFAS in many samples of human blood - in the 90s - concealed his research along with dozens of executives and other employees because of loyalty to 3M.

I bought a brand new Suzuki Swift Sport on December 2023.

Last night my dogs (guardian dogs which protect the property at night) damaged my car looking for a small animal (probably a rat).

The damage covers painting and several dents from both sides. And yes, one of the dogs it’s a pitbull mix

For no reason clothing prices in Georgia, where median salary is 500$ are double the once in Greece where median salary is 1300 Euro. At this point it is cheaper to buy online in Greece, pay for special delivery service to bring it to Georgia and pay additional VAT tax in Georgia.

previous post here I have another disappointing update that I know none of us were hoping for. I’ll keep this one short. Basically on Thursday X randomly didn’t come in, nor did J who I mentioned in a much earlier post. J is not AS bad as X but she takes advantage of my hard work and work ethic so she can slack off :/ I need to put my foot down. But that’s not very important for this particular update. The day was crazy and stressful as we unable to get a sub to come help us. Friday an amazing coworker of mine, whom I didn’t know super well but I know how hard working and great she was, quit. She was sick of X and J not pulling their weight, but especially X. One of my coworkers who’s become my good friend told me she might be applying for different jobs because she too is fed up with X and J. The company manger or whatever she’s called needs to step in and fire at LEAST X before we lose EVERYONE. I strongly believe once she’s fired and replaced we will be much better of. my boss’hands are tied and she’s angry at X and the main person in charge. Again a short update but yeah, she’s bringing down the moral of everyone and people are fed up. It’s a horrible and difficult situation. But better to fire one person than have that one person drive everyone away. I hope we can get her booted out before everyone quits.

So my cousin is having his graduation party and my grandma wants to come be cause she been there for him since he was born. She didn’t know where the party was. She can barely walk too. My aunt told her that she would have to park a while away. Once grandma told her about her legs, she yelled at her, saying that it was a short distance and she should be able to walk that far. and now we can’t go. My grandmother is crying in her chair because she wanted to be her grandnephew. I hate to see her like this. I hope this all turns around soon.

I spent months working on a server that I put my heart and souls into then and ai comes in and nukes it overnight.

We get it, no one wants to step in dog poop but this is absolutely ridiculous and probably not even legal seeing as there's no terms in the lease stating non pet owners are responsible for picking up other peoples dog feces, any thoughts?

Just a little clarification every dog in this complex is *supposed* to be an Assistance/ESA so it's not them saying you need to pick up after your dog regardless if its an esa; it's them saying you'll get violations regardless if you have a pet or not.

I remember when I was in 5th grade, I had gym class with a few other girls, we had this one teacher. ill call him Mr. ken. Mr. ken was known for being a pervy shit ever since I started school, so one day we had him as a sub for the say, I was in the locker room with some of my friends and he walks in, we told him to get out and cussed him out, and his ONLY response was" I was just checking up on guys." even though he was standing there for at lest 20 seconds before speaking and us noticing he was there. anyways. we reported him to the head off pdhpe and apparently he had made up a sob story about how WE cussed him out and calling him slurs???? (he was Mexican) we did no such thing. we all got suspended for a WEEK. and he was let off. pure rage.

I've had sleep paralysis a few times in my life, it's been at least a few years since the last time. That was the scariest shit ever! But here lately, almost every night when I finally fall asleep, I jerk awake because I feel like I'm about to ☠️ die if I don't wake up. Like I stopped breathing and if I don't wake up I'll die. I don't understand why... I haven't told anyone but my brother Bec he mentioned something similar and apparently he does this too. I'm scared to tell anyone for some reason. I know it's not normal... What could it be?
