Evicted Business Strips Everything to Foil Landlord


The landlord expected this business to just leave their stuff so he could sell the whole space to their competitors, but they were having none of it. For more landlord drama, here's a guy who went full Karen when threatened with eviction and revenge that ensued when a landlord who broke the law. Here's another where a landlord refused to give back a deposit so court revenge followed.

Best follow our eviction to the letter. ос м TI;dr (SPOILERS) landlord gives us 7 days to vacate our leisure business from the building, he thinks we cant empty the business during lockdown, and proceeds to advertise OUR equipment for sale to our competition.

Text - In every other sight vacation we have seen, we always end up leaving thousands of $$ worth of disco lights in the ceilings because they're too hard to get. We leave most the construction in, as well as things like the bars and kitchens that all stay intact (recognisable as what they once were) but not this building. We ripped up the flooring we installed, tore down the walls that were not part of the original structure (Wooden walls to divide up the space) ripped apart our manager's offic

Text - Lockdown has been extended another 4 weeks, so he has at least another 4 weeks without rent (we were paying) and won't have any potential buyers. Silver lining: The assets we got out of the site (fridges, tv's, equipment, food, tables) have all been sold, and the lack of rent and additional income has helped the business and paid staff wages.

Tumblr Thread: Fully Orbed Owls Are In Brawl Mode


Yay, a fun and educational Tumblr thread that highlights the fact that "fully orbed" owls are not to be messed with. In fact, a fully orbed owl is basically squared up, and ready to drop "hands."

Adaptation - saintcucumbers Can someone please tell me what it means when an owl LITERALLY fucking swims towards you and then stares you down??

Terrestrial animal - Like look at it?? Literally flew past me and my my friend, it was so close that the wings touched our faces.

Text - shiraglassman It's reminding you to do your Duolingo practice demonladytakkuri The real answer is that it really wants you to go away That's a fledgling great horned owl, they're known for being generally ballsy and aggressive, and owls have been known to both climb trees and swim through still water in a pinch Most likely full scenario: the bird was practicing flying, but it fell because it's still a kid and they do that. It probably fell in/by the water. It then was like Oh Damn Oh Jesu

Text - The pose it's taking in the pic is one I affectionately call Full Orb. A fully orbed owl is 100% READY to FIGHT 1v1 no items final destination. You were probably its first up close encounter with a human, and since birds tend to associate larger animals with predators, it tried to make itself look as big as possible to make sure you know what's up. It was staring you down because it was waiting to see you make the first move in the dual or flee in fear from its superior owl might. timatis

Wild Stuff Divorced People Did to Spite Their Ex


When a relationship sours between the two wrong people, almost nothing can stop the tide of vengeful petty BS that they're capable of putting each other through. Even when it's not over a divorce, people can get amazingly petty for the sake of revenge. It's not surprise that lawyers get some interesting stories out of disputes between people.

Text - Maxwyfe 38.8k points · 2 days ago O I work for a divorce attorney now but the craziest thing came to my attention when I worked for the prosecuting attorney. This couple was breaking up and Mister left the house. Missus went to work the next morning as usual. When she returned home in the evening she found Mister had been to the house and removed his clothing and belongings as she expected. What she didn't expect was that he had also Gorilla glued her belongings together. He glued the tv

She waited until he was on a business trip, came into the house, turned on all of the faucets, plugged the drains, turned off the furnace, and left. It was -10 degrees. He came back five days later. The house was ruined. The water froze and cracked the foundation.

Text - Rogue_Kat15 3.2k points · 2 days ago My dad is a divorce attorney. His clients couldn't decide who would get the Labrador puppy's from a new litter they just breed. The pups are worth $1000 a pop. Well they also hadn't been up to date on their payments. So dad brought a litter of 8 floppy puppy's home as collateral for us to have until they could negotiate the settlement. So much fun for us kids

Text - franichan 2.5k points · 2 days ago Not a lawyer. But my partner has a mate who was going through a messy divorce. He registered as a “gambling addict" and went to some gambling anonymous (or whatever it's called) and proceeded to go to the casino every day, taking wads of cash with him, pretending to gamble it all away, while he was secretly squirreling it all away. That way, when it came to the divorce and he was questioned where all his money went, he could "prove" that he lost it all t

Text - wowitsclayton 35.1k points · 2 days ago This one hits close to home because it happened between my parents. We had a family "friend" who was a lawyer and my parents agreed that he would be the lawyer for both of them as a mediator. So, as the assets were being divided my dad got absolutely slammed. She was going to get the house, cars, half his retirement, and an insane amount of alimony. To the tune of like $2,500 a month for the rest of her life. My dad has a good job as a municipal emp

IANAL, but this was told to me by my mom regarding the divorce she got from my dad. They couldn't settle on an alimony amount. Mom and her lawyer came in with a number, dad countered with a number. They couldn't agree... BECAUSE my dad thought my mom should get twice the amount in alimony she was asking for and my mom didn't want my dad to give her that much money for month. It

Joke's on her, my grandmother is passing over her kids (not maliciously, my uncle is very well off and so is my mom) and leaving everything to my brother and me. Oh, also tried to get sole custody of both of their children...who are in their twenty's...

Text - drlitt 12.3k points · 2 days ago I was an assistant for a family law practice, not a lawyer. So it was already a disaster of a divorce because the ex husband was a dick. But it got so much worse when the wife started dating someone new with a severe cat allergy like a year after they split up. Her psycho ex bought a cat on his time with the kids, except he's not allowed pets at his apartment. He sends the kids back to their mom's house with the cat and all its stuff. Mom is pissed because

Text - Much_Difference 11.6k points · 2 days ago Not my divorce, but my divorce lawyer told me about a case she was involved in where both clients were so petty that they had to all meet to argue over literally every single scrap of everything. The final object that neither would settle on was a ceramic rabbit statue, a really generic one from Home Depot or whatever. Zero sentimental value but since it was the final item, neither side wanted to "lose" the last thing and they dragged it out over

My prior employer once was 'served' with an obviously forged garnishment 'order' from an employee's (ex?) wife, directing garnishment of his wages in an amount that far exceeded his actual wages. We reported it to the police department.

He couldn't remember the significance, but somehow it had come through the husband's fami

When he returned home every knob and handle was gone. Door knobs, cabinet handles, drawer handles, anything that was screwed onto something and used to open it, she had taken. Every day for the next week he would occasionally yell out "SHE TOOK THE FUCKING KNOBS"
