I really really did not want to watch this movie. I hate this type of movies, twisted, sad and heavy. However, like it or not, you will not be able to stop watching this movie until the end:

I did not send any harmful email this week. I stayed quiet because I wanted to have a restful week alone with my mind. About a year ago, I posted about this video “How to spot a liar“.
The solution I found to make it easier is not really to insult or to confront every lies I heard in my every day life. I tried to focus on the actions. I just asked people: What did you do? Can you show it to me? Where was it written? Can you explain to me exactly what this word means? Can you write to me what you just said?
It was really helpful and sadly most people did not have a clue of what they said. The good thing for me is that I tend to double check, to look for the real answer from other sources, mainly from the internet and to compare the results.

Good action’s list this week:
- Wikipedia’s contribution: 10 euros
- Install Windows 10 for “couscous dude”, perfect working machine for free.
- Help “couscous dude” taking an appointment for his wife to apply for the french nationality
- Fix “Couscous dude” laptop… he could not make a clean installation and was annoyed by 2 windows
- Give an old hommie 1 Euros
Bad actions:
- Threatening the car insurance lawyer
- Threatening the electrical company
- Threatening the cleaning company
- Threatening the elevator company
Conclusion:
Things should balance out in the end. Getting money back and getting things fixed for free cannot be that bad. I should somehow tell “couscous dude” that I do not want his couscous meals. He gave me 2 times couscous meals to thank me and I had to throw them away.

I need to avoid the temptation of eating a huge steak now and I really want to eat one! It was a hard and painful diet. I almost forced myself to eat portions that I would give to my dog.

What most people do not know about french law is: you can sue any company yourself for an amount of money below 10 000 Euros (or even higher). Most companies are afraid of the court because they would simply loose time and money defending themselves and most of the time they are wrong!
However you have to do it right:
- write a letter of formal notice containing the complaint and the law (case number) asking for a legal response within 8 days.
- The prejudice caused by the company according to the law.
- the proof against the company, it has to be simple and obvious.
- The complaint in court, usually the company will try to find a solution at this point.
And you do not need a lawyer to do all this and it is FREE!

After 2 years and half, I discovered that 5 master badges (they program all other badges) of our 2 buildings and our 2 parking doors have been lost. I tried to negotiate a price to program again these 5 master badges.
The commercial’s mistake: “The commercial dude told me that I cannot have whatever I wanted and that type of request would cost everyone 500 Euros to program again these master badges.”
I wrote an email to everyone (like 10 people involved in the management of the building) that I would file a complaint in court against the company that lost these master badges unless I have the written proof that these master badges have been given to someone. I would then file a complaint to the next company that had lost these master badges immediately.
I would challenge the case myself in court!
PHONE CALL at 6 pm from the company: “A technician will come on Monday, October the 24th and the technician will program these master badges with you”

After 4 months of waiting for the reimbursement of my car accident, I lost patience. I picked up the phone and I ordered 2 things:
- I would like to change the lawyer who is taking care of my case.
- I would like to challenge in court not only the other insurance company but also my own insurance company for doing nothing to defend my interest.
The lawyer who is taking care of my case freaked out saying that it would cost thousands of Euros and that I would have to pay part of the cost. I told my lawyer that I am willing to pay part of the cost but the case will be challenged on Friday, October the 21st under my direct order and with someone else than her.
EMAIL RECEIVED AT 5 pm:
“Ce dernier a laissé un message téléphonique à un de mes collaborateurs confirmant l’envoi prochainement d’un chèque de 1284,91 € à votre ordre.”
TRANSLATION: A check of 1284.91 Euros will be sent to you soon.
