Halloween Jack posted:AFAIK a chip just allows the animal to be identified when you actually find them; it's not any kind of tracking device. So you still have to physically take the cat back or get the authorities involved. If someone takes it in and gets it scanned and calls you, that’s because they want to return your pet. If someone who stole your dog takes it to the vet and the chip info doesn’t match they are still going to treat the dog as if the person bringing it in to the vet owns it (and as far as the vet knows, they might, if they just say the chip info is out of date) because they don’t want to prevent the animal from getting care and you’ll almost certainly never hear about it.

If an older woman asks you to marry her on a boat, you can't refuse. Because of the implication.

Arsenic Lupin posted:AITA for being upset with my son for finding a job without telling me? I wonder if anybody in this story thought a solution is paying the son for babysitting. I can already here the "BuT faMIly!!!" excuse but it seems like the best option. Kid gets the money he needs, mom gets childcare, bang done. That's way too reasonable though so I guess blowing up her childcare and relarionship with her son by demanding free childcare forever is the correct answer. Maybe start taking away things or grounding him for being disrespectful. If he has a car take the keys, especially if he paid for it and her name isn't on anything. Its like she's not even trying here.

Well you see, paid childcare is a no for her, so it's fortunate that the son enjoys voluntarily babysitting the kids and is happy to do so for the foreseeable future so she doesn't have to consider potential alternative arrangements

Eh, if they did that, you know it would be the same allowance they'd give a high-schooler, for 25 hours of babysitting a week.

OR he could just stick with the job he got and actually start building a work history so it will help him get a job down the line easier, instead of relying on a paycheck from parent who up until now has refused to pay for child care. With a regular job they're legally required to pay you. I'm sure there would be no such arrangement with his parents, or even if there was, he'd have to go through a lot more hoops to fight it if they decide to skip a paycheck or two. Even if they offered to pay the same as the job he'd get, or more, it wouldn't be worth it.

I'm gonna be honest, I used to think the pricing difference from various professionals for wedding stuff was just another pink tax but then I had to work with folks on some wedding poo poo and I get it now Just the level of stress that comes along with dealing with an anxious couple and their respective families means you end up sinking so much more time and effort into it than a normal gig, and so you tack on fees just to claw back some of your time and get paid for it. Maybe you get lucky and you get a chill couple and family and it's unnecessary, but that's the exception, not the rule.

Also if there's an open bar, people are a lot more likely to cause trouble. We had to up our security guard count for weddings and only weddings because of incidents of people getting rowdy, too drunk to stand, trying to sneak behind the bar to steal a bottle, etc. Bruceski posted:Absolutely, yeah, I'm sympathetic to both sides on that sort of thing because when someone decides to throw a wrench in everything it's a nightmare.

There weren't any stereotypical wedding disaster shenanigans that I'm aware of. e: I've mentioned it before, but it's usually pretty easy to sniff out a wedding enquiry, even if the potential client is trying to hide it. Very few people are looking to host a party for 150 of their family and friends on a Saturday in June of next year for a "family reunion".

The chips don't migrate to the back of the neck when the smaller animal gets eaten. They aren't nanites.

AITA for not letting MIL meet her first grandchild?quote:I (27f) have 4 daughters from a previous relationship. My husband (24M) and I just welcomed our son into the world this past July. I have not let MIL near me since I found out I was pregnant. Nor has she met our son. This is a touchy subject in our household due to the fact my family has all met baby boy.Husbands parents are divorced (and have been since he was a young). All of husband's paternal side has met baby boy as well as husband's sisters.
