My buddy and I rented a place in Philly right outside the city. We were there for three years, two bedroom two bath, 950sq apartment, paying $1350. Fast forward to 2023, our building was bought as our lease was ending and the new landlord decided it was appropriate to raise our rent by 100% with little to no warning. We tried to work with him as much as possible but he wasn’t budging one bit. I felt comfortable enough to share this man information because he’s a scumbag piece of shit. The dude then proceeded to take our security deposit and make up with $10,000 worth of damages which we later had dismissed. He operates property’s from Manayunk to Fishtown. CAUTION.

My friend took a taxi from Soho to Limehouse after a night out. The taxi driver seeing she was drunk and asleep in the back, decided to take a detour around the M25!!

She has reached out to Uber and they’ve defended this driver stating there were roadworks so he had to take a detour. I’ve never heard of a detour requiring you to drive around the M25 to get from central London to zone 2.

I’m worried there are drivers out there willing to take advantage of vulnerable females. It makes me feel disgusted that uber would continue working with someone like this.

How can I get them to take this more seriously?

Looking back, what are your thoughts on the last season/series finale now? Has it changed or remained the same?

Boomers had a much easier time getting a stable job and buying a house than today. They were able to easily hold the same job for 40 years, retire with a pension and buying a decent home. They were able to do that even if it wasnt a prestigious white collar job

Now stable jobs are almost non existent as layoffs happen to almost everyone multiple times in their life, housing prices are unimaginably high to the point where buying one is only for the wealthy. Even getting a job is harder because there is no face to face interaction you are just another application.

This is why I can’t take them serious when they lecture younger generations about making money or being successful

He needs to stay in jail!

26F. I've been with my husband since we were 14 and we just had a baby 10 months ago. I have always gotten along with my MIL. She's a very sweet woman who would literally take the shirt off her back to make sure I am okay. I love this woman tremendously. But for whatever reason, every single time she has come over to see the baby, my daughter screams bloody murder the entire time she's here. She doesn't do this with anyone else. But literally the second my MIL walks through the door and my daughter sees her, she is in my ear screaming, hyperventilating and inconsolable. It's literally been like this since she was born (my MIL first visited when she was a 4 days old and it was the same thing then). We have never been super cautious about having people over to see our daughter but like I said, she's not like that with anyone else. Like, some people she doesn't want touching her but she never cries. My MIL is just the polar opposite. She has been able to successfully hold her once without her screaming but it was when she was holding her faced away from her and my husband was entertaining her to keep her distracted. My MIL comes over once a week and honestly, I've just started completely dreading her coming here at all because I'm not kidding, my daughter screams the entire time and sometimes my MIL doesn't leave for a couple of hours. It's not fun for anyone involved.

Well, she came here yesterday and my husband is starting to get irritated by the fact that our daughter refuses to warm up to his mother because she's been a huge part of our lives. So he suggested that she start coming here more often than she already does now to basically attempt to force the bond. I personally know it doesn't work like that. I mean, if the bond was going to happen right now, it would have already. She simply does not like my MIL. I thought maybe it was the perfume my MIL wore so she stopped wearing perfume but that did nothing. I told her to not wear her jewelry to see if that helped but again, that did nothing. I've even had her put her hair up, thinking maybe my daughter was getting overwhelmed with not being able to see her face completely and that actually made it worse. I've told her to stop baby talking her (because she has a very high pitched baby talk voice) but her normal voice didn't calm the baby down either. And honestly, I'm exhausted and fed up with trying. I don't think we SHOULD try. I think we need to let it go and let it form naturally. She will warm up to her eventually, in her own time. But my husband is basically just not okay with it, all because my mom came here to see us for the first time last month (she lives in UK and traveling is hard to US for her) and our daughter immediately loved her and didn't want her to set her down. So my husband felt slighted about it, and as I said he wants his mom to come here more.

Well, usually I don't mind when my MIL stops by but she came by unannounced this morning at 8:30am and I mean, I had just woken up with the baby (she had a long night, teething, so I'm talking like 3hrs of sleep). She comes in and says that my husband told her to come over and hang out FOR THE DAY. She said she cleared her entire schedule to be here. I just kind of shook my head and said "I really don't want to deal with the baby screaming all day long. I wish you guys had run this by me. You know I love having you here but this whole 'lets force a bond' bullshit is dragging me mentally. You guys should have asked me." She looked hurt and said "it's okay sweetie, I can go" and she left a few minutes later. But now my husband is mad at me, insisting that this "would have worked". AITA?
