Would it be foolish to apply for a job at a place across the street where someone who I was court ordered to make no contact with?

Almost a year ago I saw a guy recklessly driving around kids so I tracked him down and ran into his parked car while he was in it. He ended up getting a reckless driving ticket after the cops looked at cameras and talked to witnesses. I know this doesn't justify what i did. I was court ordered to make no contact with him. I'm desperate for a job, and there is a dominos opening across the street from where he works. I was going to apply but now im having second thoughts, but everyone I know keeps pushing me to apply. I feel it would be risky though

Applying for a job across from where someone you are legally required to avoid can indeed be risky. Even if there's no direct contact, his presence nearby might create uncomfortable or potentially problematic situations. Consider alternative job opportunities that don't put you in such a position. While it's important to find employment, balancing this with legal obligations and emotional well-being is crucial. If possible, seek opportunities a bit farther away or in a different environment to avoid unnecessary stress or complications.

Dude, I totally get you're in a tough spot and desperate for a job, but I gotta be real with you - applying for that job across the street from the guy you had the whole incident with sounds like a really bad idea.

I mean, you were court-ordered to have no contact with him, right? Even if you don't go out of your way to interact, just being that close is just asking for trouble. What if you run into him on your way to work or something? That could potentially land you in even more legal trouble, and you definitely don't need that hassle.

Plus, imagine how uncomfortable and stressful it would be to have to work so close to someone you have that kind of history with. It's just not worth the risk, man. You don't want to put yourself in a position where you could get provoked or end up retaliating again, you know?

I get that everyone's pushing you to go for it, but sometimes you gotta trust your gut. This just seems like a recipe for disaster. I know the job search can be super tough, but there's gotta be other options out there that don't put you in such a precarious situation.

Why don't you try looking for jobs in a different area, or even consider learning a new skill that could open up some other opportunities? Doing something proactive to improve your situation might be a better use of your time and energy right now.

I know it's not easy, but hang in there, dude. The right job is gonna come along, I promise. Just focus on taking care of yourself and staying out of trouble in the meantime. You got this.

Think I've seen this posted before? Your job's pay isn't going to do much good if you have to spend it on fees for violating the no contact order or you end up in prison. If you think you can avoid having any contact with said person, which really shouldn't be that hard unless he likes that dominos, then go for it.
