So my grandfather is 88, vascular dementia. Former race car driver, sp driving is indentity, not just Independence. I have POA, but he has one living son who will agree to my face not to let him drive, but will immediately go behind my back and undo any safety measure I put up to keep him from getting behind the wheel. Recently I noticed he had written down an appointment for my grandfather to get another driver's test (I wouldn't be worried but as recently as 15 months ago my grandfather showtimed enough to pass). Son won't respond to any of my inquiries into why, where the test is, etc- making it harder to cancel. Anyway my grandfather had an eye appointment today and his glaucoma had worsened (sadly not enough to fail the vision portion of a driving test), so I scheduled him for a laser procedure right before the driving test is to take place, forcing him to miss it. I know it's only a temporary win but it buys me time to figure out the next steps.

Guardianship is almost impossible at this point between his showtiming, a more direct blood relative that would contest it, and the fact I'm out of state for optometry school most of the year. So basically I instead have to outsmart both my grandfather and his son at every point just to keep safe.

Ordered a meal online for pickup. Paid. Website said pickup hours were until 11:30 PM. I got there at 9:10. Door locked. Sign on door says dining room closed at 9. Called the restaurant 6 times. No answer. Tried walking through the drive thru but they refused to acknowledge me as a pedestrian. Tried to get the attention of the employee inside but she was just playing on her phone. Contacted corporate but of course they get two business days to get back to me. I hate how little recourse there is for situations like this.
