Right of way

Read a random definition: ad tunc et ibidem

A quick definition of Right of way:

Right of way: The right to go through someone else's property, like a path or road. Sometimes it's only for certain things, like fixing power lines or delivering things to a business. In traffic, it means who gets to go first. Drivers have to follow rules about when they have to let other drivers or pedestrians go first.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Right of way is the legal right to pass through or use someone else's property, usually granted through an easement. It can be a specific right with defined parameters or a general right to pass through, known as a floating easement. In traffic law, right of way refers to the right to proceed, and many state laws outline when drivers must yield the right of way to others.

Example 1: A homeowner grants their neighbor a right of way easement to use their driveway to access their own property.

Example 2: A utility company is granted a right of way easement to access power lines on private property.

Example 3: A driver approaches an intersection with a pedestrian crossing. The driver must yield the right of way to the pedestrian, allowing them to cross safely.

These examples illustrate the concept of right of way in different contexts. In the first two examples, a specific right of way is granted through an easement for a particular purpose. In the third example, right of way refers to the legal obligation of drivers to yield to pedestrians in certain situations.

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.

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
