that's f**ed up!

It shouldn't have to be like that though

That honestly should never have to happen

One of my in-laws is a very good prosecutor. She comes off as sweet, sympathetic and gullible. Then she ever so sweetly punches holes in the criminal's stories. Her nickname is "Killer".

lmao

I bet she's bitchy and bossy while good old Cliff is strong and assertive and knows exactly what he wants.

I also heard heard of a business woman learning from male business owners who didn't think a woman asking questions would actually compete with them.

They all think they're sending money to Hootie and the Blowfish.

Honestly, I have never come across this kind of behaviour where I live (Europe). The more I read about how American men are, the more I want to stay well away from them.

Do you not have laws for this kind of stuff? We do. 14 days after sending the invoice the company will send a reminder, another one 2 weeks after that (usually accompanied by a fine). After 3 reminders they are allowed send it to a collection agency and every company in the coutry does this. Cost of hiring the collection company falls on the client who neglected to pay in time. Not paying for stuff gets taken extremely seriously over here. Collection agencies will take the matter to court, the judge will rule in favour of whomever sent the bill and then they just come to your house to confiscate your belonings. Yes pretty much all of it except your regular clothes (high end stuff will be taken), 1 single chair and a bed for every person living at the premises and some cups, plates and silverware. Got a housemate who has stuff there? Tough luck, will be claimed. Expensive breed pets sometimes get taken too (unless you can prove that you never bred them). Cost of police accompanying them, the locksmith, the movers, storing, sorting and auctioning off the stuff etc falls on the client. Whatever the stuff was worth will be taken off the bill, but often hardly makes a difference since so much costs are added. Whatever is left of the bill still needs to be paid. They will claim whatever amount in legal from your salary (employers are obligated by law to cooperate) and somethimes even freeze all your bank accounts and take whatever you have in them

My father-in-law runs a steel fabrication business and never gets paid on time. My wife has significantly more success in ensuring invoices are paid when she volunteers for a day now and then. Anecdotally, this may be true but if studied, I am sure the numbers would be pretty close between men and women. In my experience, it takes a certain type of person to chase payments, regardless of sex.

Sexism aside for a sec, I feel like having a fake boss is generally beneficial since it can be used to buy time and you can blame things on your fake boss and they'll never complain.

smart

Isn't Brandy a predominantly female name? That's what I would assume if I received anything from 'Brandy'

It's honestly really sad that you would have to be male to be taken seriously.
