Things That Annoy You

Neo Deist

Th.D. & D.Div. h.c.
As a man I can't stand it when I go to the bathroom to take a leak, get done and give it several shakes, wipe, tuck it back in my pants and then some more dribbles out, soaking my boxers, pants and leg...sigh. What the hell?!

Guess that comes with age.
 
I get annoyed when I get to the checkout of a store, and someone only THEN gets their coupons ready and ends up taking a bunch more time than necessary to get through and let others pay for their purchases.

I also get quite flustered when I have to mail a letter and find out I am all out of stamps.

I get annoyed by how heavily I have to focus on reading a book to actually read the book, or on what someone says so as to pay attention properly.
I got especially annoyed when I got chewed out for that, namely by the teachers who knew it was difficult for me.

Right now, I'm extremely peeved at the legal system.
To spend hundreds of thousands of dollars defending myself against frivolous law suits.....
To win them decisively.....
But to see the suits continue....
To see the judge issue no sanctions against those who pursue them, & also violate court orders.....
To be sued by an angry party fueled by a trust fund filled with someone else's money.....
There's no restriction on frivolous suits.
And I cannot get compensation for my expenses.
I have 2 lawyers working for me, & 2 others consulting.
They say I just the luck of the draw that I got an incompetent judge, in a lousy system.
This is so incredibly vexing.
It's why I threaten to vote for Trump.....I want the country to get as angry as I am.

Try & top that!

I don't think that qualifies; it sounds much worse than just "annoying."

Well I just watched the Big Short, so am currently a bit peeved at how irresponsibly greedy the banks all were causing the 2008 crash and why we didn't just let them all fail. I mean sure that probably would have led to complete economic chaos and more suffering, I dunno, I guess the lack of a clear solution makes it all the more frustrating, and that it could all happen again.

There is a clear solution, though. Vote for a messy haired Jewish grandpa.

The Big Short is left wing propaganda.
Consider.....'
Why did the banks fail?
The primary reason was that the borrowers couldn't pay the loans.
Why did this happen?
The financial crash began in 2001, when the terrorists struck.
Businesses began contracting, & jobs were either lost or saw pay reductions.
People couldn't make loan payments, but they couldn't just move to where jobs were because their loans were underwater.
And the fed would not allow Fannie & Freddie (the largest residential lenders in the world) to renegotiate principal balances.
So they just lost their homes to foreclosure.
The Big Short also ignored the fact that lenders were being forced by the fed to make many of these risky loans.
The Community Reinvestment Act & bank auditors required this.

So I say that you're not angry enuf.
It's even worse than the movie inaccurately showed.
There were far more bad guys than shown in the movie.
And the risky behavior is happening again.

How did the fed force them? You don't think the greed of banks played into this at all, making the CDOs and declaring them to be mostly AAA when they could actually be mostly bad loans? (I can't remember the name of the people that make the CDOs I'm just going to be a lefty and say 'the banks' for everything)
 

Twilight Hue

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Advertizing and Pop ups.

Television with a musical score attached with people's tragic experiences as they talk and cry about their pain.

Stupid hillbilly, police, and ghost shows. Excepted are those that relate a story or account like A Haunting.

Video game publishers and developers on a deceptive hype train to make money with broken and incomplete games. Also micro transactions and pay to play, pay to win garbage. Milking gamers.

Goverment intrusion and schemes to extract more money from people in addition to high taxes already payed and attempts to control legal commerce for so called health and safety for the children.

How did the fed force them?
The fed made "red lining" & other practices which avoided risky loans illegal.
Also bank auditors required these loans.
Since I've borrowed a whole lotta money, I got to know many bankers.
The picture they painted is very different from what the public sees.

There was also some bad behavior by banks, but this is just part of the picture.
The fed was largely responsible for creating the housing bubble, & earlier commercial real estate bubbles.
They did this thru tax & monetary policy.

When I fall asleep when trying to hang on every word of Game of Thrones, wake up, and have to rewind. :rolleyes: It isn't because it's boring, it's not at all a boring series, quite the contrary. But, I'm not feeling well and I fall asleep easily when not feeling well.

The lenders (eg, Countrywide) were the first to fail.
For banks who lend aggressively, it doesn't take much (percentagewise) loss to become insolvent.
But then, government was offering (& even imposing) bailouts, so this drove the failures to some extent.
