Why do smokers think it's okay to toss their cigarette butts out the window when they finish smoking? It's just as bad as throwing any other trash out of your window, isn't it?

Today at a Taco Bell drive-thru I saw a woman give her approximately eight year-old son an empty pack of cigarettes which he then tossed out the car door into the parking lot. Without thinking I exited my car, picked up the cigarette pack, knocked on her car window, opened the door, tossed the cigarettes back into her lap and said, "You dropped something. You know, we all share this town, you don't need to litter. Do you teach that to your kid?" Then I closed her door and got back into my car. I don't know what got into me.

After I left the drive-thru she was waiting for me and she copied down my license plate number.

She looked like the type that would lie in court so I was just wondering what types of charges I can be brought up on considering that I opened her car door. I did see her mouth the word, "What?" when I knocked on the window but this is not an invitation. I imagine she will say that I threatened her.

How should I defend myself?

The local municipal council and its employee, the township clerk were taped at meetings with a resident of the town who was being sued by the town. At that meeting, statements were made by the officialswhich were admission of facts and / or denials. When the Housing Tribunal finally heard the case and the tape subsequently was played , it ruled against the town. Since that time any meetings in council have had recording devices posted and banned. Now , a new council is sitting, 3 old councilors and 2 new. The oldest serving councillor is the only one that voted to keep the total ban. To appease him they voted to allow recording devices only when council is notified at the start of the meeting. As regards to councils recording of the minutes of the meetings, it is minimal, contains no councillors' discussions and objections; only final disposition. So much for the highly touted "transparentcy" "openness" and "accountability".

I was shopping at Wal-Mart and when I got the register the cashier did not notice the microwave oven I was purchasing in the carriage. She did not ring it up & I did not say anything. The buzzer never went off as I walked out so I figured it was nice freebee. Problem is, this damn microwave does not work!!!!! Am I considered a customer since it was not rung up? How do I go about getting a refund?

I recently divorced almost a year and I did not sign a quit deed due to wanting my name off current mortgage of home. Its been an on going issue. The ex got the court to order the quit deed and filed it with the state. However, the mortgage is still is my name and the ex is now affecting my credit by not keeping up the payments. I believe I should be claiming the real estate taxes due to this and I am not sure if I can. I also need advice as to if the settlement states that the ex is to assume all interest and mortgage responsibilitiy how can I get this resolve.

I gave a late notice to move from my apartment. I was suppose to give 60 days, and realized to late that I needed to give a written notice within this time period. I probably gave about a 45 day notice. This is my mistake and I understand that I won't get my deposit back bacause of this (as it says in the lease agreement). BUT NOW, my landlord is telling me that since I gave late notice I cannot move out for another month and that I must pay another month's rent. Is this legal? Can they extend the lease term? It says nothing about this in my lease agreement.

Honestly I'm pretty lost and calling the offices are not as helpful as I'd like them to be.

A friend of mine's son asked me for a cell phone for Christmas, which I bought him. The phone was a razor phone I only added him a line to my current plan so it's only 9.99 a month & I share mintues with him. Note: I pay the 9.99 for the extra line. Here is the messy part, my friend is seperated from his son's mother but they are not divorced yet. Since December she has taken the phone from Jessi (the son) because of her being mad at his dad and not allowing Jessi to talk to his dad. It only lasted a few days and she finally gave it back to him. They got into a dispute last week and she took the phone from him again and this time my friend (Jason) asked for the phone back. She told him no that he isn't getting it back until the divorce was final but neither has filed yet. I need to know how I can get this phone back. I went to file a report at the Police Station but they said it was not needed that I needed to contact Magistrate Court...

These cards had a list of promises for them to forfill if elected. They were also signed by Tony Blair and you could sign the bottom yourself.
Does this mean It was a type of contract, and that they could be sued for breach of contract?

Last week I was offered a job out of town I had to take. I am currently living in an apartment building and I am no longer in a lease with the property owners, I am simply on a month to month payment plan.
Here is my problem, I spoke with the owners and told them I was going to vacate by the end of the month. They told me that I have to give them a 60 day notice and whether or not I occupy the building I am responsible for paying rent for those 60 days.
I reviewed the rental agreement and it said this: Occupancy shall be on a month to month tenancy after expiration of the lease. This periodic month to month tenancy can be terminated only on the last day of the month by a written notice at least 60 days before the termination date.
I read this back to the landlord and said there was nothing stating I would have to pay for those 60 days. She told me that's what they meant. So, can you IMPLY what you mean in a contract, or do you have to put exactly what you mean?
