I am just out of high school, and I have come to realize what I want is completely out of my family's standards. I come from an Indian family, where the standards are extremely high. Like in most Indian families, I am expected to become a doctor or engineer. To please them, I followed a course in high school for science and mathematics. I did reasonably well, considering the toughness of the course, and everyone expected me to continue on this path. However, I met a wonderful man who is a teache...
After discovering two fraudulent reservations, Booking.com suspends David Hendrick's account. How can he get it reinstated? I write to express my disappointment and distress with my recent experiences at Booking.com. I travel frequently, as do my wife and family. I always recommend Booking.com, and we all use it almost exclusively. Recently, while traveling, I discovered two fraudulent attempts to make bookings on my account. I canceled them immediately, contacted customer service, and a...
Becky Taylor's view at a P!nk concert is obstructed by a foul-ball net. She wants her money back from Ticketmaster. Does she have a case? I purchased three concert tickets for P!nk at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati. I spent $607 for them. The seats were not marked as "obstructed view." But when I got to the concert, I noticed that the seats had an extremely limited view because of the foul-ball net from the baseball field. It blocked a whole side of the stage. There were also two large...

I have an unexpected relationship problem. It's hard to believe it has become such an issue but it has. The whole thing started very innocently when my boyfriend and I were watching some silly action movie. The female heroine was kicking butt, and I mentioned to my boyfriend I took a semester's worth of judo classes in college and could probably give him a run for his money. I was half joking. I didn't think I could beat him. He has a pretty significant weight advantage over me and is an...

I have been married for a little over seven years, with one 2-year-old son and another on the way. Over time, I believe my wife and I have grown apart. Sexually, we never connected. Before our marriage, I thought we had a good connection, but three days after the wedding, she told me being married did not obligate her to sleep with me. I suppose this is true, but I found it heartbreaking. I asked what changed. She said she didn't enjoy sex. I feel she misled me until after the wedding when she...
If the latest wave of proposed airline mergers have left you a little worried, then you have a good memory. Historically, airline mergers are terrible for passengers. And the latest two -- the proposed combination of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, and of JetBlue Airways and Spirit Airlines -- are no exception. "Passengers should be very skeptical of airline mergers," says Tolga Turgut, an associate professor at Florida Institute of Technology's College of Aeronautics. "They usually lead...
After Andrew Bottorff returns his surge protector to Amazon through a Whole Foods store, Amazon tries to charge him again. How can he get his money back? I bought an Eaton surge protector on Amazon recently. It was not suitable for my use, so I returned it to Amazon via the Amazon return counter at Whole Foods two days after receiving it. They scanned my return barcode at the counter. However, the return center does not provide printed receipts. An email receipt usually shows shortly after your...
