Our cat has been missing since the night the house sitter was evicted. We are only just finding out today that our indoor only cat hasn’t been seen nor active around our house since Saturday night.

While being evicted from the premises by someone who failed to supervise the disgruntled sitter as he packed up his belongings, something happened to our cat. We don’t know if the disgruntled house sitter threw the cat outside, off the balcony, or put him into his bag of belongings. Our cat is gone.

Timeline of events:

- House sitter located dead car key, broke into, started, joyride, then crashed SO’s car.
- House sitter calls relatives with false story of me, someone who isn’t on the car registration nor insurance, somehow giving him permission to the vehicle.
- House sitter calls me confessing crash, laughs when asked him where he found the car key.
- House sitter leaves house with another relative to attend family function, leaving car key behind
- Close friend rushed to our house to do a wellness check on our pets, the car, house, while collecting all car and house keys; calls and sends video of all our pets
- House sitter informed via text of termination
- House sitter escorted back to house to gather belongings, apparently with limited supervision
- Relative escorting house sitting calls requesting access to the car to retrieve drivers license; request denied.
- New pet sitter arrives at house Sunday morning, doesn’t see the cat
- Next pet sitter arrives at house Sunday evening, also doesn’t see the cat
- Over the next two days, none of the pet sitters find our cat nor see activity in his litter box or his food.

Cat was last seen by our close friend on Saturday night. Cat is indoor only.

In-laws, neighbors, friends, exes, hired pet sitters, and the owner of the pet sitting company have all entered our home in the last 24 hours searching for our cat. The owner of the pet sitting company, with my permission, turned the house upside down searching for our cat or any signs of him.

We believe the disgruntled house sitter did one of the following: took the cat and hid him in his bag, threw the cat outside either onto or off the deck, or killed the cat and disposed of his body.

Relative that was with him when he was evicted initially declined to answer questions, with police now involved, as been answering questions. Animal tracking service has been hired.

The sweetest and snuggliest boy that I finally convinced that head kisses and being held so he could melt into my arms are amazing things, is gone. My mini weighted and heated, purring blanket and alarm clock is gone. This silly little guy who had a not-so-secret crush on my dog and hilariously humped her diaper when she was in heat, is gone.

The most infuriating part is, I can’t be there to help search for him and the person responsible still hasn’t shown accountability.

I messaged the guy 3 times with my eta and saying I’m heading out, and even a 20 minute heads up. $70 in gas + 4hrs of my time wasted lol

I ordered a 5080 on Amazon, first mistake, I know. I finally get the GPU after it being delayed 2 days because Amazon in my area has been horrible lately. I start to install the GPU to find out my PSU isn't good enough and I need a new one + new PCIe cables for it. Take my whole computer apart to rewire it properly and make it look good inside, launch up my computer, and everything says the internals are a 5070. $700-$800 difference there.

About to jump on the highway.

I see a gecko crawl onto my windshield wiper.

I pulled to the side, snatched him up, and was nearly sure I put him in a cup.

I went back home to release him in a better environment and he wasn't there.

I just spent the last 30 minutes going through my car to see if I could find him.

Sadly, no success.

I live in FL and he's going to quite literally roast tomorrow.

I'm going to try to see if I can find him again before I go to sleep, but I am not filled with hope.

I feel incredibly bad and am not sure what else to do.

I just wanted to help.

😞

I opened an ebay account under my work email to purchase some items for my work.

I purchased two items. Paid for them. Received them. Left positive feedback. Recieved positive feedback. And had my account suspended. I have no understanding of why and have not been sent a reason. I have not been able to contact ebay customer support. It just puts me to a clanker that tells me my account has been suspended and to get fucked.

No explanation.

I tried to ask an ebay board (on this website) for support. Their bot just denies my post.

I just want to use ebay's service and pay them a fee to purchase things.

But both Ebay and the ebay board (on this website) are on the same BS, robo blocking me.

And now *this website* wants to block this post. Apparently, complaining that *this website* won't let me complain about ebay (suspending my account for no reason) is against the rules.

WTF is this censorship nightmare.

I’ve worked at a petrol station in the UK for about 8 months now, i’ve worked retail jobs and other customer service jobs in the past so i’m no stranger to the crazy that is the general public.
Here are some things that drive me absolutely insane while making minimum wage

- So my petrol station has one way in, one way out, 90% of people are capable of understanding that you drive to the furthest pump to allow others behind you, other people park at the first pump, idiots with 0 common sense

- people that park at the pumps just to come into the shop and do some sort of weekly shop, you are lazy, I hate you, you are causing traffic back onto the busiest road in the area by parking like a fool (worth noting we have a huge carpark which is unmissable, it’s literally an extra 16 steps (yes i’ve counted))

- people that order 10 things from vinted (via evri) and don’t select home delivery and instead send them to a petrol station, only to come collect at peak times

- people that don’t know their pump number, you’ve just stood next to it for at least a minute, how are you so stupid you’ve forgotten it

- people not understanding where to tap on a contactless reader, yes I know all card readers are different nowadays BUT WE HAVE A HUGE CONTACTLESS SYMBOL CLEARLY IN VIEW OF WHERE YOU NEED TO TAP

- this one is really specific, people washing their horses in the car wash, HOW DO YOU HAVE A HORSE IN THE MIDDLE OF LIVERPOOL CITY CENTER WHY ARE YOU SPRAYING IT WITH A JETWASH?!

- people who use our air machine, big stickers all over it saying DO NOT USE, everything is blocked off, then come in demanding a refund when it swallows their money (for reference it’s an external company that controls our air machine, we can’t just cut the power to it / open it up)

- we lock the door at 9pm (we get robbed a lot, comical amount tbh) big signs saying door locked at 9, I lower the shutters so no adult human can possibly fit through the door, I barricade the door off to make it obvious it’s locked, people genuinely just walk into the door constantly, all night, then complain to head office that we’re stupid (has actually happened)

- when people complain that ‘stuff in here is more expensive than the shops’ yes mate, because your in a petrol station, this is common practice (although I don’t agree with it personally)

- people wearing AI shirts about being a mechanic / roofer / club promoter, you are a genuine crazy person, please seek help
