If he gets the iPad then his girlfriend will take it. If he gets the sunglasses he gets to keep them.

Yeah I'm just speaking to the "why not just get the more expensive thing, return it, buy the sunglasses, and pocket the difference" aspect. Even if he wasn't considering/worried about her just commandeering the ipad, get the sunglasses + 300 bucks is kind of the obvious choice. It's just a strange situation to me.

Sell the ipad, buy a pair of sunglasses for each of them and have $100 left to buy drugs. She's totally right though, he sounds like the guy who would choose the mystery box.

She keeps saying "expensive sunglasses" but then says $200 dollars which aren't expensive sunglasses at all. I mean, sure, work might be stiffing him $300 bucks on the prize if you take the sunglasses but it's not unreasonable to me to think these really might be $500-$600 dollar sunglasses. Also both of them are terrible idiots who deserve to buy an ice cream cone and drop it.

I'm never buying prescription sunglasses again. But jeez, how little empathy can she have to fail to get that her boyfriend doesn't care about electronics but likes sunglasses? So what if he already has sunglasses, he already has a phone. He was planning to buy expensive sunglasses? Even more reason to take the free ones!

I dunno, considering she brought it up it sounds like that was explicitly included in their discussion/argument, if he was really getting sunglasses worth the same pricepoint of the ipad there's really no reason she would be so explicit about that particular dynamic unless you just wanna believe she's lying. Like "my boyfriend got a windfall of cash and spent it on frivolous stuff instead of dealing with necessities" would be a separate but still interesting argument, she directly framed it as him deciding to lose a couple hundo on the prize for nebulous reasons.

The purses you're probably in more trouble. But don't loving O'Henry your stupid rear end over some loving secondhands

also if you can't afford to replace your wardrobe under any circumstances, get a cheaper wardrobe. im sorry but every since prada and friends hosed off to china it's all the same lovely manufacturing quality and you shouldn't expect your dolce & gabanna to last two seasons anyway. jesus they're either out of season in 6 mos anyway or you look a drat fool wearing last years poo poo like it held up

She says how the prize plays out is he buys it and work reimburses him. So just buy it, leave it in the box, get the reimbursement, then return it. Wouldn't even have to try to sell it.

ArbitraryC posted:I have nothing to say about how big of an idiot she was because it's clear she's aware of this but what's the legal culpability here? Could her roommate hold her responsible in court for the loss or is she sorta just screwed? The police are unlikely to aggressively pursue the case. They have a list of suspects (everyone at the party) but they'd have to interrogate them all to maybe catch a thief who just has to stick to "I didn't take anything and I didn't see anyone take anything". It'd be a lot of work for a poor chance of making a misdemeanor case. There's definitely some civil liability at the small claims (or Judge Judy) level - $7,500 in California. How it was worded in the police report will be a big factor there. OP was definitely negligent. The text log between OP and unlucky roommate hurts her too. Combined with the police report it makes the case. Going from "I locked your room so you won't get robbed" to "I unlocked your room and you got robbed" is going to be an easy sell before any judge. Collecting anything from OP's broke rear end is another story, but roomie would just be out some time and maybe $90 in court fees, which she gets back if she ever collects. e. Roommate will absolutely have to prove the valuation for her claims, hope she kept receipts. She also might have a claim on her renter's insurance if it's her policy, since she can prove her room was supposed to be locked. Then the insurance company would have a claim against the OP, and it's worth it to them to have their lawyers send a series of threatening letters to get OP to sign something. mllaneza fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Feb 8, 2018 |
