Suing someone for chipped paint sounds like a really good idea!

That's fair, I think I deserve that, but my counterpoint is that I feel the cement truck company is likely genuinely at fault just based on the bounce and the size of this rock. Am I so wrong, though? I'm pulling the video now, I'll admit I haven't watched it yet, I just know well enough whether the camera's wide-angle lens will catch the details, so I expect the rock hitting me will be captured or at least most of it, but my recollection isn't good enough to really decide if I'll be able to see it leave the truck in question.

I'm thinking that if you were driving in an adjacent lane behind a box truck, and the truck's back door was open and an unsecured dolly rolled out into the road, bounced and tore up your car, you might have something going for you. A rock, not so much.

Thanks again; as frustrating as all this is, and as conflicting as all the advice I've been given, I'm most likely to follow Wickerman's advice. I'm planning on getting clear bra material to protect the front-facing bits, just hadn't gotten around to it yet.

Depends on your damages. Call your insurance company, tell them you have a video, get an estimate to repair. Assuming you have collision/comprehensive coverage, decide whether you want to pay your deductible and hope they recover it for you.

If I sued someone every time a rock hit my car and did damage to it, well, I'd probably be pretty poor.

The 4 chips in my windshield cost $75 to repair total.



You should probably never drive your new car in Canada in the winter if you're afraid of rocks hitting it.

In Ohio, what is the status of a lease if a mom-and-pop landlord sells their rental property to another small landlord? Does it matter if the new owners mail an informal and very general letter notifying the tenants that they don't plan on changing anything, but don't actually send new leases for the tenants to sign?

Leopold Stotch

You should read the current lease. It's unusual for a commercial lease to restrict the Landlord's ability to assign the lease upon sale or as part of a financing. Generally a lender or purchaser will be obligated to honor the existing terms of your lease, since they will be at least on constructive notice of your tenancy, assuming you are in physical occupancy of the space. Typically there would be no need to sign a "new lease," although you may be asked to sign some form of acknowledgement of your tenancy or estoppel certificate. If you don't know what any of this means you should have a quick conversation with a small business real estate lawyer in ohio.

there is no reason to be driving around with any significant quantity of drugs, legal or illegal. a cop who is having a bad day can make the next few months of your life hell if it hits on their reagent kit, even if they end up dropping the charges later after it goes to BCI (state crime lab in columbus OH)

even if its prescription, driving around with it in not tucked away in your possessions (aka not in the trunk) can potentially make a circumstantial case for drug trafficking if it's a CII, you have a pill count that's off, and you have some cash in your wallet. This has actually happened to someone I know, so.

Be lucky you didnt get pegged for the expired registration. also stop growing shrooms and pay for your tags dude. a year renewal is only like $35 bucks. https://www.oplates.com

Piggybacking on the questions about drugs, does TSA give you a hassle about having prescription drugs in one of those pill-a-day things? I am flying with only carryon for the first time in a long time, and take about a zillion things (literally, 9 daily prescription meds at the moment) that I get in 90-day bottles, so I'd rather do the pill-a-day, but if I got my meds confiscated I would be beyond hosed.

Websites about travel are all, "Oh, go to the pharmacy and have them give you little bottles" but the people at my pharmacy are overworked and I don't want to take an hour or two out of my life to do this unless it's absolutely necessary.

Domestic, tsa don't give a gently caress if it isn't liquid.
International, bring the bottles, make sure drug is actually lefal with a scrip (dubai for example, will gently caress with you).

If your pharmacy won't do this for you, find a new pharmacy because yours is terrible. Don't show up at 5pm on a weeknight and expect it to take 2 seconds, just call ahead and pick them up later or something. Depending on the computer system it could be time consuming but mainly is just something that screws up the flow if they're busy.

If you don't want to carry nine 10 dram vials, ask if they would just reprint the labels or stick them to a sheet of paper for you as a reference sheet (we didn't like to just give out labels but would happily slap them on a vial or assemble a sheet for you). We labeled additional bottles (kids taking school doses, people needing one for work/home, etc) and made reference sheets literally all the time, so do not worry about it. (Also I hope you have a med list somewhere easily accessible should something happen to you, like on your fridge and in your wallet.)

Trust me, it's not as if you're asking them to take something which comes out of an auto-dispenser in giant vials because they are horse pills, then repackage it to 3 tiny little bottles because "they don't fit in your medicine chest" and refuse to transfer the pills yourself if they just give you additional vials.

Domestic they don't give a gently caress in my experience. Loose pills, pills in big bottles of Tylenol, never been a problem. Can't speak for international travel though.

Check your local tenancy laws? Where I am, giving the landlord a security deposit is the start of your tenancy. If you had proof that you'd paid it and they accepted it, you would have all the normal tenancy rights.

Why do they need to pull the property off the market while they do a credit/background check?

That system you describe seems waaaay open to landlords just raking in money by taking in lots of applications.
