The article outlines two scenarios where individuals are held accountable for their actions impacting others. The first involves a sister whose irresponsible behavior led to an increased insurance rate for her sibling. The advice encourages the sibling to confront her sister about the financial repercussions while establishing clear boundaries about lending her car in the future. The second scenario highlights concerns about a contractor's professionalism and mismanagement, leading to a demand for upfront payment despite a lack of completion of the project. Both cases illustrate the importance of communication and setting expectations.
It is fair to ask your sister to pay the difference in your insurance costs, though she may not do it.
Have a frank conversation with her about her recklessness and its impact on others.
In the future, do not allow Ruth to borrow your car, and remember her flakiness when making plans.
Originally, I was assured that this would be a one-day job and that, upon completion of all windows, we'd pay the remaining balance.
