I'd love to be a few inches shorter, I can barely fit into any of the cool cars. I got stuck in a 911 on a racetrack once.

I don't want to be shorter than 6ft though.

Edit: tall chat. My cousin is over 6 feet and apparently a whole bunch of insecure men are intimidated by tall women.

Hoooly poo poo. Ok. This one makes top 5.

I just got an 8:30 emergency family law call from a lady whose husband is on what I like to call "Sex offender visitation" despite not being a sex offender, violent, or having any criminal or (confirmed) drug history. He gets 3 hours twice a week that is supervised by his parents.

I have helped to keep him on this visitation for over 18 months. I am a whore, I do my job.

She calls me, bawling. 8:30 p.m. I answer the call because I thought it might be the one client who I would answer an 8:30 pm. phone call from because her situation is really messed up.

Nope. This client calls me completely unintelligible because 1) She's vegan; and 2) She's raising her daughter vegan; and 3) her ex gives their daughter (who is three) pepperoni pizza and cupcakes during his visitation.

When I tell her that no, his visitation isn't going to be any less and that frankly, there's a good chance of things going very south if she tells the judge she's raising her child vegan, she says that her brother has offered to pay for a very expensive firm and that she's switching to them.

"Send on over the paperwork and I'll sign it" was my response.

And then my fiancee, who is in the car with me, looks at me and says "Are you loving kidding me?"

IN A RARE DOUBLE WHAMMY OF poo poo, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING.

[Captainscraps]

I'm very sorry I make the mistake with your payment and it ended up such a mess. It has been a mess upon other messes and I'm now on the verge of being absolutely screwed and possibly giving Rick opportunity to take me back to court for custody because I'm at a point where I may not be able to support him. I got into very deep debt trying to survive this divorce and I'm now at a breaking point. I lost my car yesterday. Without that, I can't keep my job. If that happens, I loose my apartment and I have no resources to move again to anywhere. I have no one to get help from.

I have been awake all night trying desperately to come up with a solution to this problem and trying to figure out if I have anything to sell to help me but I have nothing. The bottom line is that I have nothing, hardly even any furniture left.

The $5000 is still pending in my account, I just checked it. But when it is finally in, I have to use a chunk to buy a cheap car in order to keep my job.

I would have already gone for help if I had anyone in the world to ask but I don't. I have no family at all except my kids and the one friend I've kept out of all this has already loaned me money to survive over the last year and a half. I have no one to ask for help.

At this point, I see no option but to beg you to accept payments from me so you don't feel forced to sue me. I don't even know how I would be able to deal with that on top of everything else. I've looked at my income and know there's no leeway at all. I applied for several persons so short term loans overnight but I can't qualify, not even for enough to buy a junker car. I have no bills but absolute necessities and that leaves me with nothing left over, in fact, negative every month.

It is not fair for me yo ask this if you in any way but I'm left to beg that you allow me to make payments to you until I can get something figured out. I have $1000 in my savings and can remit all of that to you as a payment today. I get paid monthly and can figure out how to pay at least $700 each month until I can gather whatever balance I would owe at such time when I have another option.

I don't know what else to do or to offer. I have very few choices. Would you please consider agreeing to accept payments until I can figure this out. I have arranged for a ride to work for the next week or so but will have to have something to drive by the end of next week.

I'm so sorry. I can't even explain how stupid and low I feel in this situation. I do not want be a person who can't pay what I owe but I can't and I don't know what else to do at this point.

Please consider my payment option and let me know. If you choose to accept the payments in the interim while I figure this out, I can wire $1000 today.

In order not to loose the last ability I have to support my son, I need to beg you to take payments from me until I can figure out how to


And you fuckers think law school is bad.

And then you go "gently caress, i was going to do something stupid with that money like buy a suite for my friends in Vegas"

And then you go "gently caress, she probably needs it more than I do."

And then you go "Fine, let's make a loving payment plan."

It's the cynic in me, but I think she's gonna make 2 payments to you on time, the third and fourth will be late (fourth almost by a month) and then she's going to go completely dark and you won't ever get to the 5th.

I was thinking I was generous with the four payments. I had a mental over/under line at 5 and was taking the under. Didn't realize that the line was way too high.

In reality, I'm maybe going to get $1500 and a referral and some more cash when she marries again and her husband fights her for custody.

It's a $5,000 mistake I'm never, ever going to make again. Any payments post-divorce go directly through me.

I'm surprised he's got his clients by the nuts so bad that they beg him for leeway on the bill. When mine decide to quit paying, they just stop, wait for me to call or email, and if they don't have the money decide they have a complaint about a bill from 6 months ago.
