Read a random definition: Mistake of Fact

A quick definition of residual:

Residual means something that is left over or remaining after something else has been used or taken away. For example, if you eat a pizza and there are a few slices left, those slices are the residual pizza. Residual can also refer to a fee paid to a composer or performer for each time their work is shown on TV. Additionally, residual can describe a disability that remains after an illness, injury, or operation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Remaining or leftover after something has been removed or taken away.

Examples:

  • Residual disability: A disability that remains after an illness, injury, or operation.
  • Residual claim: A claim that remains after other claims have been settled.
  • Residual value: The value of an asset at the end of its useful life.
  • Residual estate: The remaining assets of an estate after specific bequests have been distributed.
  • Residual fee: A fee paid to a composer or performer for each repeated broadcast of a film, program, or commercial.

These examples illustrate how something remains or is leftover after something else has been removed or taken away. For example, a residual disability is a disability that remains after an illness or injury has been treated. Residual value is the value of an asset after it has been used for its intended purpose. Residual estate is the remaining assets of an estate after specific bequests have been distributed.

Tell us what's important to you

Yeah, I would have definitely gone to the hotel if I knew they booked a room for me. At the very least, it would be proper to show up personally and explain your extraneous circumstances

Nah but it's in your name. I went to an ASD. I asked the school for an extra night and they gave it to me. You just need to plan things better.

Law-Shark
16:45
You live and you learn
16:45
because i did let one of the staff know i'd be leaving early and thought that would be enough
16:46
but i was confused why i got an e-mail with a room cuz I didn't ask for it at all
Law-Shark
16:46
Well, you know now what to do.
16:47
well on their end they prob shouldn't just be buying hotel rooms for ppl who don't request it and then getting mad I didn't go
16:48
goof
16:48
Did you get any materials for admitted students day explaining that they would be booking hotel rooms?
16:49
there was an opt in on the form but I didn't select yes
16:49
Hmm, that's weird
16:50
i think it's unprofessional of them to call you like what if you had an emergency and had to leave? why is it their business why you didn't stay? not like they're lacking money and $100.00 hotel room is gona make them bankrupt
16:50
i figured it was an error and I was on the road so I didn't read into it. plus it would make more sense for it to be the night before cuz it started at 9am? so I was like uhhh and paid it no mind
16:51
@bigfatsloth: that's what i'm saying, they were gonna pay no matter what
16:54
"This is like peak disconenct between the male and female brain." like bffr
16:55
It was probably an administrative error then. I can't imagine why they would book hotel rooms for people that didn't select yes. I would maybe follow up with them and apologize for the misunderstanding to avoid any awkwardness
