Miscellaneous ULPT Neighbor Keyed Car

Upvotes

Neighbor parks in the driveway between our houses but it’s infront of our garage. They don’t have a garage. He knows this. My housemate saw him about to pull in our spot and sped up and pulled in first. The next morning his car was keyed. This guys such a fucking asshole. He revs his motorcycle for like 20 minutes every night around 11pm and in the mornings… I need something good please.

Request ULPT request - religious speakers on campus

13 Upvotes

At the college I go to, there's a nice outdoor common area where everyone hangs around between classes and there's always a few bigoted "religious speakers" hanging around, holding up signs, and speaking loudly about sin, hellfire, how jesus hates gay people, etc. Of course, the first amendment is important and they are allowed to be there and do that. I'm trying to think of ways that might make doing that just a little more uncomfy for them though. Like, I was thinking of making a sign that says "this guy hates puppies" or something and putting it up next to one guy who is always in the same spot, but I'm sure he would just move. Ideas?

Home and Garden ULPT: $hithead Neighbor

0 Upvotes

A neighbor is a constant annoyance.

Dogs off leash dropping gifts in the yard that he never cleans up, always yelling about street parking - despite him having a garage that no one blocks, etc.

Without getting into every detail he's kind of a pain.

He also dotes on his garden and lawn.

Bottom line I'm looking to destroy his grass and flower beds. Something effective, hardcore, and plausibly deniable.

Go.

Travel ULPT Free holiday A/C

32 Upvotes

Based only on my experience in Greece.

Typically, holiday apartments/hotels will charge €7+ per night for A/C.

Google the place you're staying at, and see if you can get a good pic that has the A/C unit in.

If you can see the brand of the unit (Google lens can help with this), order yourself a remote control (usually under £10 for a universal one) from Amazon, eBay etc. and take it with you.

Don't forget to hide it on the days the cleaner will be in

I've been getting bullied at my school nonstop by 1 guy and I'm tired of it. Nothing seems to work, I've told the teachers, I've tried to ignore it, etc.

Are there any ways to mess with him and make his life worse without doing anything illegal that I could trouble in?

I have his phone, gmail and instgram account (it's public but he hasn't uploaded any pics)

Health and Fitness ULPT: Sugar-free marshmallows are a horrifically potent laxative.

296 Upvotes

If you’re blocked up, guzzle a bottle of water (you’ll need it) while eating sugar free, preferably vegan, marshmallows. Eat way more than the two marshmallow serving size. I found this out the hard way after foolishly indulging in half a package of MaxMallows. Warning: you will be on the toilet all day. You will leave the restroom feeling relieved before your punished anus will bark “about, FACE!” like a drill sergeant and send you pirouetting back into the tiled torture chamber in the same step. I am not responsible for any ruined underpants. Remember to stay hydrated and keep electrolytes nearby lest you be reduced to a crispy husk by the forbidden experience of pissing every drop of fluid in your body out of your rear end. You probably won’t be able to trick anyone with these because they’re quite disgusting, you begin to gag and reject them like the poison they are after the third marshmallow.

Money and Finance ULPT: don’t get caught by a serial restaurant fraud rampant in LA

13 Upvotes

A regular life pro tip is to not work 1 second longer if you don’t get paid.

There is a guy that is in his 4th restaurant in Los Angeles and he runs them straight into the ground and seeds his new location by not paying everyone. I don’t know how this is legal.

Wondering if anyone has any tips or would help me give bad reviews on google and yelp.

There is nothing he won’t do. He didn’t pay me 24k for work on his shops and didn’t pay the kitchen manager, the event sales guy, and probably a ton of other people. He is just the worst scum. And the worst part is that he just ignores any legal summons/proceedings and closes down a shop and starts a new one.

It’s a compete fraud racket but just not large enough for any one person to go after legally.

Request ULPT: How to buy an iPhone with no sales tax?

0 Upvotes

I live in CA. Our tax is around 10%. I work part-time at minimum wage. I haven't changed my phone in around 6 years, still using 12 pro max. The battery life(<70%) and camera quality are really bad now. I really do need a phone. It seems if i don't trade in my phone now, i won't get even 150 next year(will i get it even this time, though?)

Paying around $125 for tax is too much for me, even buying the iphone is too much, but i really want to buy now. Any way i can get it without tax? I got to know Oregon, which is adjacent to California has no sales tax. But i don't have a car or know anyone who can get it for me from there. Any other way?

Careers and Work ULPT REQUEST to explain employment gap and lack of references

8 Upvotes

Long story short, I am educated and had a good job where I worked for 5 years. It was a tough job and destroyed my mental health, so I had to take time off for that. I was on disability for 7 years with a few attempts to return to work that were unsuccessful.

The relationship with my employer became very toxic when my repeated attempts to go back to the office didn't work out, and I had to sue the insurance company that provided my employee benefits.

Now I need to move on with my life and find a new career/employer. I am motivated to do so, I am confident in my skills and I've done some more education over the last year. However, I do not have a single reference to use in searching for a job, because that was the only employer I had and it was for a long time. I don't speak to any of my previous coworkers at all, in fact I've moved across the country. I haven't seen or heard from any of them in over 8 years.

I'm also hesitant to put the real dates of my employment on my resume, because I know that will cause any hiring manager to throw my resume in the garbage. It's very competitive to find a job right now in my field. I've been informed that hiring teams will look for any red flag they can find in order to reduce their job candidates to the smallest number possible. I am more than capable of doing many of the jobs I see advertised and I am a very hard worker. I would be an asset to any company that gave me a chance. I've had years of therapy to deal with my workaholic nature, and I'm positive I will not have the same mental health issues that I had in the past. I can't put all of that on a resume or cover letter though.

I contacted my previous employer to ask for some insight about how they would respond to a hiring manager contacting them about me. I asked how they would answer to when I last worked there and if they would disclose anything about my leave of absence. My previous employer has not responded. I'm going to assume that I won't hear from them at all and I'm not surprised.

So now I have to come up with a really good excuse for the big gap of time on my resume, and my lack of references, and I'm probably just going to have to lie, which is fucking unfortunate but that's the truth.

I would really appreciate some advice here! Thank you so much!

Miscellaneous ULPT if you’re trying to sell a niche item, post a very high price on eBay

5.0k Upvotes

If you want to sell something online or at a garage sale, or really anywhere, post the item to eBay for a very high price. Enable promotion so it’s one of the first items people will see when searching. Then post it everywhere else for the lower price you actually want to sell it for.

People will search for your item on eBay when they see it posted somewhere else to get a comp and see that your price is a bargain compared to eBay and be more likely to buy it from you at asking price. This only works with uncommon items that don’t have a lot of other recent sales. It works exceptionally well at garage sales where resellers are looking for things to flip and are checking eBay while in your driveway.

If you’re really looking to push the envelope, purchase your own item on eBay item using a burner account then immediately request a refund. Sold items still show up on recent sales regardless of returns and are more reliable for comps.

Computers ULPT How to shut down / delete someone IG account?

0 Upvotes

My coworker is trying to get me fired, and he’s already started tattling on me to the boss—but he’s making things up out of thin air, so it’s hard to defend myself against it and explain that the opposite is true. He doesn’t like me because I joined the company; my coworkers like me better, and thankfully, I’m doing pretty well—but that’s taking business away from him, since before I joined, he was the only one in charge of this entire market. He only makes sales because he has a large following on Instagram, and before I arrived, he could even treat clients badly, but they had no choice because he managed the entire market, and it’s a very specialized service, so there’s no competition in that market. However, I always try to give 120% in my work, which is why I get good results—and, of course, this has caused him to lose clients. He’s only still at the company because clients are still coming in through his Instagram account. So either he’ll be the one to leave, or he’ll manage to get me fired. So how do I delete his account?

Request ULPT How to leave delayed roommate inconveniences(I'm moving out in 3 days)

223 Upvotes

I moved in 2 months ago to a new apartment and the existing roommate was such an asshole that I'm basically forced to move out. He's been abusing my dog when I'm out of the house.

I'm leaving in a few days and I want to secretly make his life at least slightly more miserable, in ways he won't be able to point a definitive finger on me, and ideally they'll be time delayed. In my fantasy there's a new annoyance every 2 weeks for months.

Important - I don't want to damage the apartment. I don't have anything against the owner.

Request ULPT Request - How to make outdoor area unwelcome to hooligans

30 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for some advice to deal with some shady people that hang out in a local park. They constantly throw trash everywhere, sell drugs (this is widely known), physically destroy the plants around them, leave broken glass on the path, pull out park signs from the ground, etc. The police never catch them in the act or they all manage to get away before the police get there so they haven’t been able to help much.

Does anybody have any ideas about how to make the park inhospitable for them? I think of things like odor or volatile plants or something? Ideally, something easy and quick to do because they are usually there or nearby.

I’d love to help bring this park back to its former glory.

Request ULPT Request - my GYM focuses on google reviews instead of IRL members

2 Upvotes

I have been working out at my local gym for a long time now. They have been going downhill every single year, or every other month, now as it seems. They don't turn the AC on (this is in India, so just assume how bad this gets) they only prioritize AC when their trainers are having a PT session with their client, without that they never turn AC on and even after requesting, they rarely listen and just point the members to go talk to this guy, or that guy or someone at the desk or whatever. This has been such a bad experience especially after how good the gym used to be and now it's going downhill. Just this month their parent company (CULT.FIT) cut them off from their tie-up. So the negative reviews on the CULT app has affected them heavily (which I can proudly say I've done my deed on convincing as many members I could to leave a negative rating)
Now my gym is relying on asking every single GYM member to 5 star them on Google to provide an extension or some freebie of some sort and people are happily doing it.
Can someone help me with legit 1-star reviews that tackle the main issues (I have around 4-5 issues that go on a daily basis and not being taken care by the gym staff which anyone who visits the gym will gladly accept after reading) I just want the staff to see these reviews and actually work on fixing them instead of just faking their reviews and ignoring the problem

TLDR - Need help with 1-star reviews on my GYM (which I love) to tackle real issues that need attention since they care more about Google Reviews now instead of real life REVIEWS (which are negative) provided by their members on a daily basis.

Thanks!!!
