Except for all the other customers that witnessed the whole affair that said the men didn't do anything.

Agreed. All it takes is one person to complain, and the staff to escalate it. Hence the first bullet point that gives the group the benefit of the doubt ("the group was waiting quietly").

There's probably more to this. I bet this is what happened:
*The group was waiting quietly or loudly,
*Some customer complained to staff,
*Staff asked them to leave,
*Group did not leave,
*Police was called and the officers asks group to leave,
*Group still did not leave,
*Police arrested to remove them from the premise,
*Group is released once they have a stern talking to by the officers outside of the private business.

Sounds pretty standard for those loitering / being a nuisance.

"I got to the house, and I knocked on the lady's door. Then she started yelling at me and she was like, 'Why are you trying to break into my house?' I was trying to explain to her that I was trying to get directions to Rochester High. And she kept yelling at me. Then the guy came downstairs, and he grabbed the gun, I saw it and started to run. And that's when I heard the gunshot," he says.


If you believe his side of the story:
I believe the wife is much more at fault than the husband. If my wife starts screaming that there's a home invasion happening, you bet your ass I'm going to grab my gun and run to help her. In this heightened/adrenaline-fueled condition, you're not going to be reasonable; it's a fight-or-flight moment. Having said that, I do believe the husband is still somewhat at fault because he fired at the teenager while the teenager was running away.

A coworker told me this. Luckily, my female cat is spayed, so they won't ever be in heat.

He went on to say that he recommends cat owners to do this for their non-spayed female cats during heat to reduce the chances of the cat escaping the house, meeting up with a tom cat, getting pregnant, and giving birth to more unwanted kittens.

I like to think I make cab drivers uncomfortable when abroad because I'll put the directions into my phone GPS prior to flagging one down and then make sure they see that I'm tracking our path when I tell them where I need to go.

I stick with Uber or other taxi apps when I travel abroad, or ask for a quote prior to the ride. I will use a hired metered taxi as a last resort.

Seriously though, call the billing department and say you can't pay that. They'll cut the price significantly.

No no, my existing credit cards are offering this. Also, as part of a credit card churner, it's obvious you close them after you utilize their benefits, so you can sign up again the next year or so.

I signed up for a 0% APR for 24 months credit card and spent ~$1,000 on it. I couldn't end up paying for it, so I signed up for another 0% APR for 18 months credit card and transferred the balance. By the time the 2nd promo period was about to end, I was able to pay for it, but figured "I wonder how long I can keep this going", and took advantage of an offer of 0% APR for 18 months with 0% transfer fees that my current credit card company gave me.

Now, I can pay off the $1,000 pretty easily, but I'm still transferring the debt for lulz at this point.

My credit is pretty healthy (807 according to creditkarma), so I guess this doesn't affect credit too much.
