I just got this blinding vision of this persons office space, covered in post it notes, explaining exactly what people can and can’t do.
I also see me being inspired to look for loopholes in the whole “thou shalt not”
My last job I shared an office with 3 people, an open office that any of the 400 staff could wander into if they felt the need.
I’m not stupid, I had one locked drawer for valuables, but the rest of my stuff was on the desk top, or in unlocked drawers, because people generally understood the over riding rule “don’t mess with other peoples stuff”
Your point is not being missed - your are just plain wrong. Actually, it’s not an unwritten rule because there are laws regarding vandalism to other people’s property. Just google “horses’ tails cut off” and see that in every instance POLICE are involved in investigating the incident.
Vandalism laws apply to all property, not just real estate. Everything a person owns is their personal property. There are laws, and the brat did not abide by them.
The stall and / or paddock that the OP pays board for is NOT a community area any more than an apartment someone rents is a “community area.”
Guess you haven’t lived in a shared apartment where they rent out by the room and the kitchen/living room is considered common area. Hence where this kind of stuff happens also. Hence why most apartments give residents a key for the entrance to the building and entrance to their own rooms to stop people from entering each other’s living quarters
Your density is astounding. In a shared apartment, the individual rooms rented out are not a common space. Just like the stall / paddock is not a common space. Please just go watch Judge Judy for a week and see if you learn something.
I’m not dense. You just don’t get why people pay more for individual apartments or paddocks or barns because this stuff happens.
And you missed the fact that the shared areas usually house the individuals stuff which people expect others not to touch and they do it anyways. Hence all the bickering and fighting that happens when you rent by the rooms bc people are learning how to live with each other. There are locks on the doors to keep the other people out of the rooms, yes, but in a standard house they may not always be the case
Are you really still trying this hard to be so obtuse?
The horse is not a knife of questionable ownership stored in a communal kitchen drawer. The horse is the room mate’s good china that was brought out ONCE for you to eat off of at a holiday meal and then put back away in that person’s room or their personal storage area in the kitchen. Everyone knows who owns it. Everyone understands that it was a privilege to get to share it for that one special meal.
Only a person completely lacking respect for other people would borrow it without asking, let alone alter it in any way.
Right. A horse like everyone thing else that is bought with money on this planet is an owned item that people SHOULD respect and not touch prior to getting PERMISSION.
ASSUMING that everyone on earth should respect that fact in a perfect world, this would hold true. Yet, we don’t live in a perfect world so next time this situation comes up hopefully this conversation will sink it.
Good luck assuming that everyone has an ounce of intelligence and follows rules. You’ll be in for a huge surprise if they don’t.
I am still waiting for her to post her barn location. She agreed with my post that said, by her logic, she has not forbidden any of us from coming on over and riding, etc, her horse, so that meant we could. So she’s publicly given us permission.
I’m guessing by your, um, naivety and inability to admit to making a mistake, I’ve got a good 30 or so years of life and horse experience on top of what you may have.
I have owned horses, I have trained horses, I have taught and trained in a combo school/boarding stable, all these things in a variety of facilities, both private and boarding, both high end and not so much. I have NEVER seen or heard of any person taking it upon themselves to handle someone else’s horse or equipment without express permission. And if it had happened, there would have been serious words between the owner of the facility and the perpetrator. It’s just not done. Oh wait, hang on, I just remembered ONE incident where a boarder’s SO was caught going through some stored items in a communal area. Cops were called. Boarder and her horse were gone that day.
Unless there is an emergency, you just don’t mess with other people’s stuff or their horses even if you used to lease the horse, own the horse, like the horse a whole lot, think the horse would look better with a hair cut. Even if you think the horse is being mistreated, you go through the proper channels if speaking to the owner doesn’t work.
This is not new. This is not information that should seem like it’s suddenly sprung upon you. It’s normal.
If you have experienced otherwise, I suggest you GTFO of whatever situation you’ve been in that this has happened to you, or grow a back bone and stand up for yourself. And, if you are condoning it because it’s been done to you, that shows that you have a lot of growing to do.
Yeah. Pre pandemic I worked in an office with 7500 other employees. Every employee had access to every area bar the levels that held the executive suites. Purses could be left unattended. Phones could be left unattended. No one was messing with anyone else’s stuff. Ever. One time a girl on my team left her debit card desk after her shift was over. She came back to work to find her debit card exactly where she left it.
There were no rules about not messing with other people’s stuff. It was presumed that adults would ya know act like adults.
One employee got fired for stealing bacon. We didn’t have rules about not stealing bacon.
but it is his location??? how do you not know that they have stalls there?? he gets worked out everyday.
Absolutely beautiful palomino with great muscles. Don’t take any crap from no one. Nicknamed killer sometimes since the other horses are scared of him.
