deety posted:A friend of mine got hit with this back in college, and she was so sure she wasn't speeding that she took her car to her mechanic and found out the speedometer was actually 15 mph off. She drove all the way back out to bumfuck for her court date, then had her turn with an assistant DA who could either dismiss the ticket or make her wait on the judge. The guy looked at the paperwork from her mechanic and made noises about letting her off the hook right up until she thanked him and explained that there was no way she could have stayed in court all day because she had to get back for a midterm. I'm not quite sure on the logic of her defense here. 'my car is too hosed up to know what speed I'm going at.... So you shouldn't ticket me for speeding?' in what world would that ever work?

It sounds more dangerous than intentionally speeding though. This car is going 15 mph above the intended speed at any given time? More likely she had a friendly mechanic that was willing to write a note. No way in the world is someone not noticing a speedometer that far off.

I mean....I'm just telling you the fairy tale of the magisterial system in Pennsylvania and what I understand of traffic court in some other states. In PA if you can plead down to a "4107" by any means you call that a win: the PD and the court get paid, you don't have to pay increased insurance rates. The "speedometer was off" documentation makes it real easy for the cop to agree to plea you out to an administrative offense rather than a moving violation and everyone leaves "happy" in this lovely revenue-producing system we have.

It was a twenty year old car that she'd had for less than a month at that point; the trip through bumfuck was its first long highway drive. She claims that she was staying with traffic when she got pulled, which was in a pretty notorious speed trap between our school and the beach. I grew up in a rural area in the same part of the state, and it would not have surprised me to learn that she wasn't actually going a full twenty over.

pentyne posted:What, a pattern? no this is a series of isolated events and now I'm beginning to think it's more plausible someone I know and trust has decided to make up a extremely detailed story of my husband abuse and harassment of her for being female. When I was a kid, my dad was in the military, and us living on a military base, lots of military parties and the like. One lady that was always around was Heidi; she was rather nice to the kids, and I of course liked her the most because she loved unicorns, and My Little Pony was my thing. And then one day my dad came home in a worse mood than usual, and the cool unicorn ring Heidi gave me, I was told to throw away, because Heidi was a liar and was trying to take my dad's job and all kinds of hosed up poo poo. Of course, I had no idea what really happened, but over the years it came out that as he had had several girlfriends in the ranks, Heidi refused his advances. For one, they were both loving married. But he kept harassing her until she reported him, but it was all glossed over and put aside and one of them was transferred away. I mostly remember not being able to even say the word Heidi, which also sucked because that movie was a favorite of mine as a kid, and so I could never watch the movie again, and never have any kind of unicorn toys for years. Wasn't until my parents divorced about a decade later that I was able to put a few clues together and realized why Heidi became an Unperson. Guess the age before unspoiler! WIBTA if I didn’t tell my cousin's parents about his internet activities? quote:So I (15f), have a cousin (9m), who has an iPad he isn’t able to use until after school (we are currently doing remote only right now). His parents gave me his iPad to do a hard reset on because he needs zoom but nobody remembers the apple id password and I have a MacBook to fix the problem. I went to use it and looked through the history and activity and found somethings. Now for some background as to why I checked it, I recalled when he asked me things about “what is hub? I heard about it on TikTok.” I lied and said “I don’t know.” because I wanted to see what he knew (he even insisted that I knew what it was). Anyway, when I checked I found things like “Fortnite s*x”, “p*rnhub”, “p*rn games without zipcode”. Now here’s where I believe I went wrong, I didn’t tell his parents but I told my dad and my older cousin (30f) who lives in the same house as him about what I found. I also am hesitant to tell his parents because I guess the idea is scary and awkward to approach with them I guess. Due to my culture, I feel awkward because we don't really talk about these things unless it's a certain occasion. AITA for playing a prank that upset my sister? quote:I (23M) love jokes and pranks, and I do them a lot. My sister (21F) is mostly tolerant of them, but does not share my joy. She works out a lot and tries to maintain her goal weight, as she was overweight in high school and went through a hell for it. She has let me crash at her apartment for a few weeks because mine is being repaired. I had a friend over and he commented on how good she was looking and I said yeah she works out a lot and has gone vegetarian, so good for you rabbit food. He asked how much weight she lost and I told him I wasn’t completely sure, but it was around 60 pounds over the course of two or three years. He said it would be funny to prank her by hacking the scale and making her think she gained weight. I laughed, because that did sound funny, as I thought she’d have a little hissy fit over it, then roll her eyes like she always does when I prank her. He modded it so it would read heavier and then we just had to wait. The day finally came and she went to weigh herself. Does not share my joy. Here's a prank, fucker, you're out of my apartment, enjoy a motel for the next few weeks. Cowslips Warren fucked around with this message at 01:44 on Jan 23, 2021 |

There are few tests of a man's character more revealing then seeing how he treats a women in a position of authority over him. It's never going to be difficult to figure out there are only two extremes, either normal human interaction or constantly referring to her as "this bitch"

Sadly everyone focus on the 10 15 sec sex you can participate in, if you made the right choices. No one cares about about the other great qualities of the game, just the small factor of the game.

And the new "fake" wakename that the mom doesn't know -- why is it fake, if its value is to be used at the ceremony officially to exclude the mom? Finally, does it make sense for a GN to be used like a WN for all intents, assuming she's well past three point of danger with Covid? Wouldn't that sort of make it another WN over time? Obviously these questions might not have many folks who can field them in this thread.

AITA For Not Telling My Family I was Leaving The House When I Turned 18?quote:I (19F) used to live with my family in their house until last year. I am the oldest of 7 kids (My Brothers & sisters' ages ranged from 1 month to 12 years) and as the oldest female, my parents started making me take care of everyone as their jobs got more demanding. At first, I didn't mind because I could still balance having a live outside my brothers & sisters, but I think it was around a couple years ago when they both got big promotions and they forced my to come home right after school. Cooking, cleaning, changing diapers, etc. etc.
