2·
1 year agoI’ve replaced a lot of my social media time with puzzles. When I have a minute to stop and look at my phone instead of reddit and Facebook I go through wordle, NYTimes crossword mini then Washington Post daily crossword. It usually takes about half an hour to get through those, I don’t really need to be looking at my phone idly for much longer than that in a day
I don’t use debt collectors any more, but I have a construction company and a few times a year people just decide not to pay for their work. If someone really truly refuses to pay I could take them to small claims court, and I have, but it’s a ton of work and lawyers won’t bother with anything under 10k. I’ve literally had a judge say “so petty” about me taking someone through small claims for a $1200 they’d been dodging for years So some jerk can stiff me for $1500 and I have basically no recourse. I’m not talking about some impoverished person who I took advantage of, these are people with nice homes who make a habit of not paying bills. I’ll work with people who are short on cash and honest.
Even though debt collectors are 0/3 in the times I’ve used them, it’s at least something to fire off a final ‘fuck you and your credit’
