Perhaps the owners of the place could rent out a home that someone else isn’t currently using for the holidays. I believe there is a website and app they could use to book a place.

My credit card was compromised and the thief booked an airbnb. I asked airbnb to cancel the reservation / refund the money, this was their response.

In a situation like that, don’t even bother going to anyone except your credit card company. If you want to be nice and give them a heads up, do so after you’ve contacted the cc company and canceled the card.

Just found out my new shirt is designed to fade over time

had the same crap with black shorts i bought for my partner online. no mention of fading on the website. when we got them they had a similar notice and are now grey and look awful after 2 washes. they didn't even "fade" evenly
edit: ok i'm sick of people telling me that i can re-dye the pants
we did the maths:
the dye is $14 per packet(instructions from the website said use 2) and we would have had to buy a bigger cooking pot (priced over $100). this isn't even considering that we would have had to stir the pot for almost an hour (without a single uninjured shoulder between the 2 of us) or the gas used to heat that pot.
the shorts were $30

Many years ago I got a similar letter in my paper. A couple days later we had a follow up letter from the paper itself warning us that it was a scam
Edit: to clarify, the paper’s letter indicated they had no affiliation/relationship with whoever was requesting the money and they were certainly not the person delivering our paper

CO2 meter in my classroom

In my high-school there were classrooms the even the teachers acknowledged were cursed because kids would just fall asleep, no matter the time of day.
Maintenance never found a gas leak or anything, but the air flow was terrible. The older, main part of the high-school was designed to be one main hallway with several long hallways going down one side of the main corridor. It was all cinder block walls with no windows. The classrooms that were fortunate enough to share a wall with the front facade had windows, but they could not open. So there were many, many classrooms that never ever got fresh air or natural light. The fire exit door was so far down the hall that it gave a very creepy liminal space vibe of a horror movie endless institutional hallway.

I was recently told by an HR rep that companies will do this because they include a statement at the end where you have to certify everything you've entered is truthful and accurate, so they can bust you if you've fudged your resume.
My response was, "Why don't you just add that certification question on the same page as the resume upload?" Basically, something like: I confirm that the information I've provided on the attached document is truthful and accurate to the best of my knowledge. She had no response to that.

As others have suggested, select other then put in 0. However, if you can't do that, if the system does not let you put in 0 for other, I think that is technically illegal (assuming they don't classify it as a service charge instead of a tip when doing taxes)? And if there's a specific minimum, like of other doesn't let you go below 5% or even 1%, that's more likely.
According to "Tips Versus Service Charges: How to Report" (a pdf from the IRS which is intended for employers), tips "must be made free from compulsion" and "The customer must have the unrestricted right to determine the amount."
So, if they're restricting your right to determine the amount and are forcing you to provide a tip, that's not a tip, that's a service charge. Given how they present it as a tip, rather than a service charge, the IRS would probably be very interested in learning about this. If, of course, you can't just put 0 in Other. If you can, then this is just a tip that is optional but sneakily presented.

Was it specifically advertised that they’d be the same size? If so, that would probably warrant a refund. Though I know that’d be a pain

These plane rides are miserable enough without cramming more trash in. I’m not big on tattling, but if she didn’t respond to, “Ma’am, we all don’t need to hear your phone,” I’d hope someone flagged down an attendant.
