Did you ever have a hot dispute with someone for whatever reason a dentist that messed up your teeth or a lawyer that stubbed you his client in the back by doing a secret deal with your opponents, someone that sold you expensive shoddy goods or a teacher that gave you unreasonably low marks? Or someone that caused a car accident and in the absence of any witnesses blamed you for it?
Hot disputes

Yeah, I've had a dentist that charged me for crap he didn't do. And I had a professor that graded at the end of the semester because she didn't think I did assignment that I actually turned in a week before it was due.
In both cases they were idiots and I made them fix things. -

Hi Greendawn,
My only "hot disputes" concern the WTS and my fathers constant picking at me! My dad is not a tyrant and is actually warm and gentle man. Our "hot disputes" are over:
Me not wanting to get baptized yet
Me wanting to use other sources other than WTS materials to get an accurate understanding of God
Me limiting my exposure to this religion
My wide range of non-witness interests
Sorry, this really is not on topic, but the truth in my case as I do not have any non-witness problems.

We got charged (two different instances) twice for heating oil that we already paid for---months and months ago. Does that count?

I hate confrontation, so I dont generally have a hottie about anything BUT check this out...
I was waiting at a roundabout and I nearly pulled out on a car that was going pretty quick - it was his right of way. BUT I didnt actually pull out, and I didnt move really, so he didnt have to slow down or swerve. But as he drove past me he made the most disgusting hand gesture I have ever seen coupled with this super angry face - to tell me what an asshole incompetent bl00dy woman driver I was. Ever noticed theres no hand signal for sorry?
So i followed him home.
Now he must have seen me following, and was probably thinking I was going to start shouting at him. And I was thinking how he would start shouting at me defensively if I started shouting at him.
So when he got out of the car I got out and I said "Im really sorry I nearly pulled out on you, but I misjudged your speed". Well the poor guy couldnt apologise enough - he was falling over himself with excuses for how he never should have done that to a lady, and were we friends now, and no hard feelings etc etc
Boy, was i glad he did that and not punch my lights out instead!!

Katie you are off your rocker...he couldve been a mad axeman or something...then again chances of him chopping you up on his own front lawn are very slim really....still you are mad woman...mad I say.

a teacher that gave you unreasonably low marks
My AP US History teacher gave me a horrible grade on an essay. The essay was good and I had 2 other teachers grade it, and they gave me 30 points higher than he did.
I stayed after school one day to talk to him. I told him that any damage he does with a pen will be matched by my fist. I told him I didn't want an A on everything, I just wanted credit where it was due. I got it.
It worked, considering he's 5'2" and abotu 130 lbs.
I hate to do things like that, but I had to.
I find that my size can work very well as an intimidation factor.

Until Christ's return I will have an ongoing dispute with the WTBTS and the souls it is stealing for Satan.

I had some work done on my car at Midas and they supposedly replaced the serpentine belt along with other things. A few months later, I broke down on the highway because...the belt broke. The garage to which my car was towed said that the belt was at least four years old, so apparently Midas didn't replace it. They did however charge $99 for 'doing so'.
I went back to Midas and told them what happened and that they should pay for the towing of my car and for the new belt which had to be installed. I even had a statement from the garage saying that the belt was old and most likely the original that came with the car. The claimed that the warranty had expired and there was nothing they could do. Something in my car must have caused the "new" belt to break. They made up every excuse in the book, showing wear on the broken belt and saying that my vehicle caused it. I argued for a while to no avail and got so pissed that I threw their "new belt" across the room and told them where to go.
I drove the car for more than four years with the original belt, yet a brand new belt would break within a few months?

Katie, that was WAY CRAZY GIRL!!!!!!!!! But i give you credit for doing it, I woulda been too angry, and probably would have continued the fued.....and he woulda killed me with the axe or shovel he kept in his car....lol.....you have to be careful over here, and more-so in the USA.....you don't have to do anything, but look at another driver and they'll tear a strip off you...or just shoot you...I used to flip off someone who pulled a stunt on me, but now I just let it go.............I'd like to live another day..
Hey Mary......where are you????????????? Tell the good folks here, your story about chasing the punks down who threw punkins at your door.......now that was funny.
