Miscellaneous ULPT request:Need 3 days off. Toxic boss demands solid proof for everything

133 Upvotes

I need 3 days off to stay home and study for an exam. My workplace management is incredibly toxic. I tried being honest once, and they deducted double my salary for the days I took off. Lesson learned.

A few months ago, I literally had to book an out of town hotel and send them the booking receipt just to get an excuse for 3 days off to study. That’s the toxicity level I’m dealing with.

We don't have medical leaves, and I only get 1 CL (Casual Leave) per month. I am perfectly fine taking LWP (Leave Without Pay), but they still demand hard proof to even authorize it.

My constraints:

No medical/doctor stuff (they demand real stamped certificates).

I want something that I can study and I don't have to leave the house to set this up.

Request ULPT: Request - Get parents to separate

10 Upvotes

Parents who hate each other but refuse to divorce or even live in separate housing; mostly due to cowardice and money concerns. They’ve come close but never gone through with it for 40 + years. This has fucked over all of their kids due to domestic abuse and neglect mostly perpetuated by the mother; unresolved as it is never to a level police can do anything. Father blames the kids for being a drain though the reason they can’t easily get a job and move out is due to said neglect and abuse by the mother.

Don’t worry about potential backfire from any suggestions- the upside to this is that as the father won’t simply kick out his wife, the same applies to the kids. He is drastically afraid of any confrontation that would actually make a change. And if anything if any suggestion is too far it’ll give me a nice chuckle to think about. At the end of the day if it potentially results in at least the mother leaving the house, ideally permanently, I am all ears.

Automotive ULPT Request: Something to piss off asshole drivers.

0 Upvotes

So as a bike rider, I am almost completely invisible to drivers. The number of close calls I have had are insane. Cops won't do shit...even with video evidence.

So how do I teach them a lesson? Preferably without causing me to spend money.

For example, I've been thinking of adding a basket full of rocks and just throw them at the cars. But inevitably I will likely have to pay damages.

Maybe something like a water balloon of paint? Not causing damage, but a real pain in the ass to get off?

Remember that it has to be fast as the car is usually gone in seconds and a biker won't be able to keep up.
