[David Attenborough voice]Here, in this modern open office, we can see something rare: the mating call of the Manic Pixie Dreamgirl. It is spring, and hormones are cursing through this lady's veins, heart, and brain. She has brought something with her, and this is what she will use to try to attract a mate on this very office floor. It's got four nylon strings and a maple body...

Karaoke in a job where a good 90% of people in the building were making long calls to clients who were invariably confused and annoyed by the loud, offkey version of I Want It That Way absolutely dominating the sound level. I never thought I would be grateful for only having a colleague who spends her entire work day chatting with coworkers over the phone in a really loud voice you can hear through the entire open floor, but apparently it could be way worse. Still, whoever invented these open floor offices deserves a special open floor place in hell.

And yeah like it or not there are loads of people who try to claim it to get away with whatever the gently caress they want.

When I went into offices, the main office was on a super busy street in Stockholm and all the street performers to come along with it. A poorly ventilated office in 30°C weather with the endless drone of accordions, interspersed with screaming street preachers, is a very distinct place and period for me.

But I do see an awful lot of pictures of people with things like squirrels and other random exotic pets being labled 'ESAs'. Legally recognized Service Animals do exist, are protected under disability law, and are legally allowed to enter public buildings even where animals would normally be barred, but there's a few specific requirements here: -The animal must be a dog. In rare cases, a miniature horse might also qualify. But that's it - no other animal counts as a service animal, no matter how smart you think your cat or snake or rat or squirrel is. -The animal must have been specifically trained to provide assistance by an actual trainer. -The animal must be able to perform tasks - not vague "support" but physical actions like pushing an elevator button or guiding your steps or etc. Of course, in practical terms, whether or not it's an issue mostly depends on the situation. If it's an airport with TSA? They'll tell you no, you can't take your emotional support squirrel through security, if you want to argue with us we'll arrest your rear end right here. If it's a random store? The clerk probably decides it's easier to "not notice" rather than say something and deal with you flipping your poo poo and maybe a spineless manager/corporate spouting "customer is always right" bullshit.

AITA for giving my daughter a car that I previously promised my girlfriend?quote:I've been with my girlfriend for three years (we live together) but I also have a 19 year old daughter from a previous marriage. She lives with her mom. A few months ago I ordered a new car and my girlfriend asked me if she could have my current one and she'll just pay me in instalments for it. I told her yes. But a few days ago I was spending the day with my daughter and she kept complaining about issues with her car (which is a pos) and she asked me if she could borrow £1000 to buy another one and I told her no and that instead she should just take my car since my new one is due to arrive in two weeks and in the meantime I'll just rent one. OP is obviously causing their own problem here, but uh quote:I mentioned her [girlfriend] paying me back in instalments for my old car. So nothing changes for her except that she would get a brand new car for the price of my old car. The new car (depending on which one she would choose) might be more expensive than my used one but then I'd just cover the difference. seems like a pretty sweet deal to me? More dumbass with too much money than rear end in a top hat, IMO.

Yea at the same time a certification process or a licensing fee is a legitimate concern blocking off service dog access to people who actually need it, but are poor, which is why it doesnt exist. But you're right. Selfish assholes.

Legitimate service animals can be dogs or miniature horses that are trained to perform a specific task. ADA-covered entities can challenge them by asking two questions. According to ada.gov:quote:A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Staff are not allowed to request any documentation for the dog, require that the dog demonstrate its task, or inquire about the nature of the person’s disability. There is no particular certification for service animals and you can train your own but the bright line is them performing a specific task that assists someone with their disability. Emotional support animals are not trained and there is no certification. So probably some people get something useful from them but the most visible one are the people who just want to hoard pets in their apartment or bring pissing, making GBS threads chihuahuas into the supermarket.

The whole thing is just so sad and I wish she'd kick the guy out OP posted:Although she is physically 25 years old, her emotional age is about 16. She's on the spectrum and has some other issues that led the court to declare me her legal guardian. I could legally keep them apart, but what good would that do? It's like a teenager who runs away and you force them back home. That doesn't solve the problem other commenter posted:you haven't taught her its not okay. OP posted:I have. I've taught her all these behaviors are bad. And when he goes too far, when he crosses the line, I talk to her about it and show her the error in his ways. Sometimes she agrees, but too many times she just shrugs her shoulders in a defeated way, as if there's nothing she can do about it. I think she feels she can't do any better than him (she's on the spectrum) and is afraid of losing him if she doesn't go along with everything he says and does. Sometimes I wonder how far she would go OP posted:I've kept her on the depo shot since she became sexually active. No way he would let her get an abortion, though, if it did happen. He's ultra-conservative OP posted:You couldn't be more right about the restriction and control. On those times that I let my mind wander and think about what her life will be like once she moves away with him, it makes my blood run cold. I know exactly what she's in for; I've been there. Here's hoping she opens her eyes. Thank you for your kind words

Lots of things have happened in our family that have contributed to that, but I admit it's mostly my problem. However, you may have missed the part about Jaelinn being on the spectrum and that I am her legal guardian. She's unable to work, and his earnings are mediocre. They cannot afford to live out on their own yet. I am overprotective of both kids, but especially her, out of necessity OP posted:Because there is so much more to the story, and because you have hit on some important aspects of the ordeal, I'm going to do my best to address everything That whole situation is completely hosed up, I want Predator to rip out what's left of her spine & beat some sense into her
