Things that frustrate us all

I know that episode well. It's nice sitting at the lights with him isn't it? There are moments in life where you just have to be brave. When we first moved here I was a little freaked out about the street to be honest. Not sure about the security of the area and just wanted to go back to the rural setting we had moved from. A friend used those words to me. "Tracey, be brave". Don't know why but it made a difference. She has a knack of doing that. One time she told me she was in "Save Elizabeth (her name) mode". I really like that, lol. Everything was getting on top of her so she decided she was putting herself first.

Anyway shall leave it at that ;)
 
What I really hate is the apparent ability of important things to cloak themselves the instant you need them.
The manual for my washing machine keeps popping up unexpectedly every 2 or 3 days. On Saturday the machine broke and promptly the manual turned invisible.
Today I planned to get my new glasses and of course I am unable to find the prescription that has been lying in plain view on my desk for the last 6 weeks.
It's so utterly frustrating: one knows exactly that the item must be there somewhere and one tries to stay level-headed and search systematically and thoroughly. Yet, the damned thing never shows up unless one stops needing it (upon which it'll instantly shimmer back into existence in plain view).
 
Oh dear @rhubarbodendron that same thing happens to me all the time! Oh I feel the absolute worst about it like when I see something and am thinking "Oh I'll need that next week, glad to see it's around!", and then when I need it and I go to find it it's like it totally disappeared, and I feel I'm going crazy and I doubt my sanity that I actually even saw it in the first place, lol.

Yep.
I needed my W-2 forms for taxes April 17.( waited until the last minute)
W-2's missing tore the place where all my paperwork is kept up looking.
I found them this past Friday, the 27th.
 
Oh you only have to pay a penalty if you owe money to the government.

My company does my W2s electronically and the IRS can get my information automatically, I don't have to enter it. So helpful!

that sucks! Does that mean you'll get no tax refund or do they accept a belated entry?

No I got my refund.
You really only even have to file if you owe or want your money back.
That's how it works here. They take money from you, then you have to jump through hoops to get it back.
I had to go to work the next day and print off one from work.

But how do you know how much you owe (if anything) until you file?

That's why I always get confused when I hear that when people apply for an extension, it only applies to actually filling out the returns - you still have to pay what you owe by April 15. But how is it possible to know how much you owe unless you fill out the forms? :confused:

Talk about things that frustrate. It would be so much easier if taxes could be done automatically (like a flat tax) without the need for ANY forms.

Owing taxes, It's like knowing when your dog or child has to go to the bathroom.
You just know.:eek:
It's not a matter of how much either(see example above)
 
You're expected to know what you owe, and it's really not all that hard to do, unless you're like really complicated. Some members here are accountants and could help so much more than I can, I just know how to file my own taxes, lol.
 
When someone at work changes my Excel workbooks from my beloved R1C1 formulas back to that dreadful A1 style, ARRRGH! I just don't like seeing those infernal letters up there, lol.
 
Assholes being assholes for the sake of being assholes.


Where I am at there's a literal walking troll; he goes around spreading anger, hate, political lies, and on top of that he's a user.

Well, he sat down, some lady passed by him and saw a shirt he had on that has the U.s. Air Force logo on it. She was friendly and asked him what he did (which was nothing, by the way; he yaps and yaps about his life) and he laughed at her arrogantly and said, " I just bought this shirt."

Asshole.



Or this other douchenozzle a couple weeks ago who is always wearing a Navy hat. A couple stop by and say "Hi" and ask him about his service. He ignores them and the guy's stretched out hand to shake. The guy repeated it again, I guess thinking the douchenozzle was hard of hearing, and without even looking up or even an effort to be polite, the douchenozzle replies, "I don't want to be touched."

What a fucking asshole. He's not hard of hearing, he just purposefully ignored them.
He could have been polite, but instead that.

I suspect he's one of those stolen valor doucebags. I should report him to Don Shipley:
