If you break something in a hotel room, are you expected to pay for it?
Depends on the circumstances, the guest and their attitude. Several examples for you from the last 6 months in 4* hotels :Housekeeping enter room after guest checkout and find the solid wood wardrobe lying like matchwood in a pile - no I have no idea either but … chargecurtain hanging off rail - no charge and repairaluminium fixing rod on window that holds it half open, bent and buckled - chargebed and carpet covered in sh*t - chargebed full of vomit - chargelift covered in blood and broken mirror plus full of vomit - chargemirror broken, caused by room door being flung open with such force that the rubber stop on the floor is ripped out - discussion with guest…accident they say - no chargesmoking in room - chargeled tv screen cracked - chargewine stains on the wall - chargebroken shower support in unrenovated room - no chargegenerally we speak to the guest and charge if they can’t explain it but 90% of the time they check out without saying anything…that tells it’s own storyWe have a credit card, for guaranteeing against theft and damage, so we just take a ‘fair’ amount to cover costs of replacement, send an email and wait for the telephone call/email rant from the customer. We send the photographic evidence and ask how it happened and (seldom) refund the card or not.
How do I break a communal washing machine beyond repair without anyone knowing?
The washing and drying machine at my apartment complex sucks! The landlord, for whatever reason, always has a way of fixing it when it falls apart. He just won't replace the darn thing. It's an old top loader and the dryer is a typical old style. The brand name for both the washer and dryer is Speed Queen Commercial. I like to somehow do something that will break it over time or whatever, hopefully beyond repair.

Replace car engine with a used one?
Ok so i have a 2002 Volkswagen passat 1.8T and my engine is dead. My mechanic told me that the only way is to replace it ! But the cost is too high. So i tried to sell it on craigslist and another mechanic was interested into buying it. He came and took a look at it and said he could put a used engine for just $1500! The thing is that i got ripped of from other mechanics while trying to fix and they ended up damaging my cat.I told this one my story and he said he would do it just for 1500 (he wont charge for labor!) because he felt bad for me and want to do some "good" for people who get ripped off. So why would he do this for a stranger? He seems honest & nice but should i trust him???
Are getting ball joints replaced necessary? Should I replace my ball joints?
Depending on the play in the ball joints. Have they ever told you if it was 1/8 , 1/4, 1/2 of an inch? Most Tire Shops and Brake Shops will tell you this and I have seen my fair number of these shops tell customers that have just had the ball joints replaced they need new ones, and then have to apologize after I talk to their managers. If they are getting bad then yes they need to be replaced they are what holds the spindle/knuckle on to the vehicle and this is the piece that holds the tire on. Average cost if this breaks is going to be 400-1,000 depending on what it breaks and finding parts for older vehicles are getting harder. As the dealers usually no longer stock them, and junk yards are crushing cars. Normally if they have more than a 1/4 inch of play we recommend they be replaced.
